“There’s more to life than making shallow, fairly obvious observations.” "Seinfeld" makes a pretty convincing argument that that's all you need. Easily one of the most well written sitcoms ever released. Seinfeld is truly a show about nothing. It brings to life Jerry Seinfeld's and Larry David's unbelievable (and somewhat useless) powers of observation. "Seinfeld" follows 4 quirky and eccentric friends living in Manhattan as they get themselves and others into a whole mess of trouble. Jerry is a stand up comic dating his way through New York City. Elaine works at a publishing company as she looks for Mr. Right. George is the literal reincarnation of Larry David with a plethora of neurosis and his insane, but genius ideas. Kramer is Jerry's overly intrusive neighbor. He can only be described as Kramer. There will never be another.

The jokes are perfectly layered and everything builds on what happened earlier in the episode. It's incredible that they were able to come up with so many per season. Despite the 9 seasons, the show is strong all the way through. Larry David left the show after season 7. The pressures of coming up with comedy gold got to him. Jerry did an admirable job of continuing without him. The transition was seamless and nearly unnoticeable. Some say that George lost a bit of depth, but I'd be hard pressed to see it.

The one negative that sticks in everyone's mind, is the ending. It's a heard scratcher. Left a lot of people confused. That being said, the ending was never particularly relevant to a show like this. No one came for the ending. Enjoy the ride.

“I’m out there, Jerry. And I’m loving every minute of it!”

10/10

This series was absolutely hilarious. I have to admit, I missed out when it first started and happened to catch it with my brother one day. I believe we had seen Jerry on TV once or twice (this was way back when a lot of people didn't have cable TV) and this series became the funniest thing on TV. I watched it whenever I could but that wasn't enough. Finally, quite a few years later, I bought the DVD set and watched everything in order, plus I watched all of the extras. It is awesome. This is one of first series that I know of where you really needed to watch every episode in sequence to keep up with it. Remember when TV shows had almost "standalone" episodes? You could watch them in any order and not get lost or confused or feel like you missed something. Not anymore. Anyway, I know many people who didn't get it; 'it' being the Seinfeld/David humor... but that's because they never would sit down for an entire episode to give it a chance. And how can you expect someone to get it who can't pronounce "Seinfeld"?? It takes a very stubborn person to keep saying "SeinFIELD" even after you've corrected them a hundred times.
