Seinfeld


The famous show about nothing.  Just some people in New York complaining about everything, but in a very entertaining and amusing way.  From the inventive Kramer (Manzier, anyone?), to the incredibly selfish George Costanza, the neurotic but attractive Elaine, and the ever fussy Jerry Seinfeld, it was a show that took small mole hills of plot and turned them into mountains.  It ruled the roost of television for most of the nineties.

I was not a big fan of the show, but there was no denying it's tremendous impact.  It had a huge influence on many subsequent shows and effected the way we looked at sitcoms.


So congratulations, Seinfeld!  You now occupy the premier second spot on our imaginary Hall of Fame mantle piece.  Huzzah!
