Jerry Seinfeld stars in this television comedy series as himself a comedian. The premise of this sitcom is Jerry and his friends going through everyday life discussing various quirky situations that we can all relate to (especially if we live in New York). The eccentric personalities of the offbeat characters who make up Jerrys social circle contribute to the fun.

Review

The best television show ever. Ever. Its been off for how many years and we still try and get our 1 12 hour fix every weeknight. Like those famous Beatles the combination of Larry David (too outrageous) and Seinfeld (too pedestrian) was so much greater than the sum of the parts. Classic ensemble work by Jerry Alexander Richards and LouisDreyfus. Richards and LouisDreyfus are alltime comic allstars in their own right. It took them about 12 to 1 year to get up to speed and then theyre off and running. With David gone the concept showed considerable wear in the final season where some episodes are a grim caricature of earlier successes (e.g. Georges "Twix" episode). The Puddy story lines were the shows one regular miss particularly so towards the end. But what a run! And completed by a fitting sendoff. The only television series Ive watched regularly in the last 25 years. The DVD collections are highly recommended and include loads of fun commentary from the stars. 10 out of 10.
