It's still brilliant, IMO.

I "liked" your statement and basically agree. However, I will say that I certainly DID root for George as I do for Larry. The fact that their self-centered personalities take place in a fictional setting, makes it "cool" and humorous and it is therefore easy to support them.
Yes, of course George is based on Larry and much of what happened in Seinfeld are from real life experiences, but remember Larry is playing a fictional version of himself. To me, they are basically the exact same character and both equally likable.
I think intentionally you're supposed to enjoy it when things go right for both characters and also enjoy it when things go wrong.
