With its inimitable take on life's most mundane moments, Seinfeld -- ubiquitously and ironically referred to as “the show about nothing” -- garnered countless accolades, initiated a string of words and terms into America's pop culture lexicon… and continues to draw viewers into its uniquely comic world. Widely regarded as the small screen's most innovative sitcom, the series created an unparalleled cache of clever plots, snappy dialogue and crafty characters.
During its nine year run, Seinfeld, which premiered in 1990, set the meandering course for four single friends living in New York. The group's core is Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), a stand-up comedian whose professional path includes a shot at creating a network sitcom, a guest spot on the ''Today'' show, and a wealth of other quests gone-awry with a personal life rife with an endless parade of never-quite-right girlfriends. His childhood best friend, George Costanza (Jason Alexander), could be deemed the quintessential loser; he can never hold a job or keep a romance… although he has more than enough schemes to make (n)either happen. Jerry's ex, Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) offers the quirky quartet her own barrage of bad dates and worrisome workplace sagas. The curiously-coiffed Kramer (Michael Richards) rounds out the group as Jerry's over-the-top imaginative and often-mysterious neighbor, who has no visible means of support and an uncanny knack for opening doors to opportunities he has no business being near. The foursome's escapades swiftly segue from the corner coffee shop to a Chinese restaurant, from the local movie house to a mall parking lot, and from the car mechanic to a car rental counter as their everyday experiences subtly set the stage for incisive humor about modern single life and its assorted inanities in the big city.
