Seinfeld

"Seinfeld" follows the life of stand up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his neighbors George Costanza, Elaine Benes, and the infamous wacky neighbor Cosmo Kramer. Seinfeld had a postmodern comedic style about "nothing", focusing on ridiculous conflicts between and within the characters. The four single thirty-something New Yorkers meander through career and relationship problems, leading to many hilarious situations and characters. The wild plot lines were often based on actual events the writers experienced. Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) is a stand up comedian who's career and love life continually go awry, while his childhood friend George Castanza (Jason Alexander) can't keep a job or relationship going despite his elaborate schemes to do so. Jerry's ex, Elaine Benes (Julia Loius-Dreyfus) follows a similar trajectory. Jerry's crazy neighbor Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) completes the foursome with his wild ideas and bad timing. "Seinfeld" ran for 9 seasons, and became a comedy hit with classic episodes such as The Soup Nazi and The Strike which popularized the Festivus holiday. MORE
