Set predominantly in an apartment building in Manhattans Upper West Side in New York City, the show features a handful of Jerrys friends and acquaintances, particularly best friend George Costanza Jason Alexander, former girlfriend Elaine Benes Julia Louis Dreyfus, and neighbor across the hall Cosmo Kramer Michael Richards. It is often described as being. In syndication, the series has been distributed by Sony Pictures Television since 2. It was largely written by David and Seinfeld with script writers who included Larry Charles, Peter Mehlman, Gregg Kavet, Carol Leifer, David Mandel, Jeff Schaffer, Steve Koren, Jennifer Crittenden, Tom Gammill, Max Pross, Dan OKeefe, Charlie Rubin, Marjorie Gross, Alec Berg, Elaine Pope, and Spike Feresten. A favorite among critics, the series led the Nielsen ratings in seasons six and nine, and finished among the top two with NBCs ER every year from 1. Seinfeld is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential sitcoms ever made. It has been ranked among the best television shows of all time in publications such as Entertainment Weekly. Best Written TV Series of All Time second to The Sopranos. The in show character is a mild germaphobe and neat freak, as well as an avid Superman, New York Mets and breakfast cereal fan. Jerrys apartment is the center of a world visited by his eccentric friends and a focus of the show. He typically finds minor, pedantic reasons to break up with women, including a habit of eating peas one at a time, oversized. Other plot lines involve his longtime enemy Newman and his overbearing relatives, whom he meets periodically. Elaine Benes Julia Louis Dreyfus Elaine is Jerrys ex girlfriend and later friend. She is attractive and genial, while also being humorous, arrogant and occasionally impulsive. She sometimes has a tendency to be too honest with people usually by losing her temper, which often gets her into trouble. She tends to make poor choices in men she chooses to date and is often overly reactionary. First she works at Pendant Publishing with Mr. Lippman, is later hired as a personal assistant for Mr. Pitt, and later works for the J. Peterman catalogue as a glorified assistant. One of Elaines trademark moves is her forceful shove while exclaiming. Another is her memorable. Elaine is popularly described as an amalgamation of Davids and Seinfelds girlfriends during their early days in New York as struggling comedians. Cosmo Kramer Michael Richards Kramer is Jerrys.

Among these are coffee table books about coffee tables for which he appeared on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee and a bra for men called the Bro, also known as the Manssiere, with Frank Costanza. Kramer is longtime friends with Newman, and they work well together despite their differences. He is miserly, dishonest, petty and envious of others achievements. He complains and lies easily about his profession, relationships and almost everything else, which usually creates trouble for him later. He often uses the alias Art Vandelay when lying or concocting a cover story. Despite these shortcomings, George has a sense of loyalty to his friends and success in dating women and eventually secures a successful career as Assistant to the Traveling Secretary for the New York Yankees. During the run of the show, George and Jerry work with NBC to produce a pilot episode of a TV show called Jerry. During this time, he meets Susan Ross, who works for NBC. George has an on and off relationship with her, eventually getting engaged, until she dies at the end of season seven. Recurring. Many characters have made multiple appearances, like Jerrys nemesis Newman and his Uncle Leo. In addition to recurring characters, Seinfeld features numerous celebs who appear as themselves or girlfriends, boyfriends, bosses and other acquaintances. Many actors who made guest appearances became household names later in their careers, or were already well known. Plotlines. Many Seinfeld episodes are based on the writers real life experiences, with the experiences re interpreted for the characters storyline. For example, Georges storyline,. The show about nothing was just a joke in an episode many years later, and Larry and I to this day are surprised that it caught on as a way that people describe the show, because to us its the opposite of that. The show offers no growth or reconciliation to its characters. It eschews sentimentality. Many episodes revolve around the characters involvement in the lives of others with typically disastrous results. On the set, the notion that the characters should not develop or improve throughout the series was expressed as the. Even Susans death elicits no genuine emotions from anybody in the show. One such example is the story arc where the characters promote a TV sitcom series named Jerry. The show within a show, Jerry, was much like Seinfeld in that it was.

Throughout the show, the main theme could be re styled in different ways depending on the episode. For instance, in. None of the principal characters are related by family or work connections but remain distinctively close friends throughout the series. Many characters were based primarily on Seinfelds and Davids real life acquaintances. Two prominent recurring characters were based on well known people Jacopo Peterman of the J. Peterman catalog based on John Peterman. Other characters based on real people include the Soup Nazi. Rapid scene shifts between plot lines bring the stories together. Even though it does not follow a pattern as other sitcoms, the characters story variously intertwines in each episode. Despite the separate plot strands, the narratives reveal the creators. Occasionally, story arcs span multiple episodes and even entire seasons, the most memorable being season four, which revolved around the pilot pitch to NBC by Jerry and George. Another example is Jerrys girlfriend Vanessa, who appears in. Curb Your EnthusiasmDavids later comedy seriesexpanded on this idea by following a specific theme for all but one season in the series. A major difference between Seinfeld and sitcoms which preceded it is that the principal characters never learn from their mistakes. In effect, they are indifferent and even callous towards the outside world and sometimes one another. A mantra of the shows producers was.
