Co-written by Larry
David and Jerry Seinfeld, and taking inspiration
from the events and people in the writers' real
lives, SEINFELD is one of the most loved TV comedies
ever, a show "about nothing" that
nonetheless managed to rack up a number of Emmies
and a Peabody Award. Weaving together intricate plot
lines and winks at the audience through various
"in-jokes," and developing a cast of
characters that are quirky, eccentric, and extremely
likeable, most of the episodes are centered around
harebrained schemes and the characters' relationship
problems. Mostly taking place in Jerry's New York
apartment, Jerry and his friends - Elaine, his
outspoken ex-girlfriend, and George, a bald
semi-loser who obsesses about virtually everything -
discuss the intricacies of their relationships and
analyze the most mundane realities of everyday life;
they are visited frequently by Jerry's lanky, wacky
next door neighbor, Kramer. This collection of the
first two seasons includes the show's pilot
("Good News, Bad News"), and a great deal
of hilarious early material and classic episodes
such as "The Stock Tip," where Jerry and
George's inside information leads to a series of
hilarious asides, and "The Ex-Girlfriend,"
where Jerry's relationship is threatened when his
girlfriend sees his standup act and decides it's
just not her kind of humor.
"Ethical questions both
trivial and profound are addressed in these early,
tentatively ground-breaking episodes."
"[T]he most innovative and
influential sitcom of the past 15 years..."
"There are new cast
interviews, bloopers and bountiful production
background." |

Award-winning and wildly
poplular, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld's "show
about nothing" has become one of television's
most-watched and best-loved series. Jerry stars as a
standup comedian living in New York City, whose real
life is infinitely more entertaining than his skits.
Together with his loudmouthed ex-girlfriend Elaine,
and his sex-obsessed, neurotic friend George, he
becomes caught up in various awkward situations and
absurd capers, often stemming from long conversations
where the three ponder the minute, banal trappings of
their everyday lives. Season 3 features the infamous
"Parking Garage" episode, where the gang
gets lost in a garage, as well as "The
Fix-Up," for which the writers won an Emmy Award.
Also, Jerry instigates a game of chess between his
penis and his nose, Elaine takes an unfortunate trip
to Florida for a visit with Jerry's parents, George
tries a baldness cure, and Kramer attempts to become
an actor. |
