Seinfeld

Ah, yes, the infamous show about nothing. It was the original water cooler show of the 90's. and deservedly so. It was that good. It was also a show that I almost missed during its original run on NBC.

I watched an episode here and there, season 9 to be exact, and I wasn't too into it. It was only after it finished its run that I found out as to why it got the ratings and accolades that it did. The beauty of the show was apparent to me. And I've been a fan ever since

The show is a comedy about Jerry Seinfeld and his three friends: George Costanza (Jason Alexander), Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards).

The four of them are so memorable in how they act and the antics that they brought. Who will ever forget the contest? The moment where Kramer came into the apartment, put the money on the table and said, "I'm out!" and the reaction of the other three. That was a memorable moment, but the memorable moments and episodes came throughout the show's 9 seasons: The Strike (an episode famous for Festivus and the hilarity that it brought), The Race (I choose not to run!), The Frogger, The Revenge, The Boyfriend, The Betrayal, etc.

The storylines in the show were based on the real-life experiences of the writers, rumors and or headlines, or something else entirely. Looking back, I'm in awe as to how they did the entire show. The things that they were able to come up with.

What made this show even better was the spectacular supporting cast: The Seinfelds (Morty and Helen), The Costanzas (Frank and Estelle), The Soup Nazi (NO soup for you!), Jay Peterman, The Maestro, Jackie Chiles, Newman, George Steinbrenner, Uncle Leo (hello!), David Puddy, Mickey Abbott, Kenny Bania (that's gold, Jerry. Gold!)

This show is so much fun to watch for the episodes alone, but the special features bring a lot to the table. There are deleted scenes, notes about nothing (trivia), inside looks (one of my favorite features), commentary on select episodes, etc.

One of the best shows of yesteryear stills holds up exceptionally well to this very day.
