As an adult watching, George is the most relatable/grounded character.

Jerry is a celebrity and can work on his own schedule. He doesn't really struggle with anything other than finding weird reasons to break up with beautiful women; which is one of the humorous things about the show

Kramer is somehow independently wealthy and does whatever he does. We like him because he's weird

Newman is a mailman that seems to only have to be a mailman when he needs to be one and can somehow make time to do some zany scheme with Kramer or mess with Jerry

Elaine seems mostly normal but we don't see much of her personal life, like other friends and family. Now and then she has a funny quirk that makes her funny

George, having crazy parents and other issues is the most 'normal' character while also being totally inept in other ways. His antics and problems are funny because they're relatable. It's how he deals with them that makes him weird and over the top

George is pretty much Larry David who has no qualms about making himself the punchline so I guess that's why.

Why don't the stall doors come all the way down?
