We’re watching: Seinfeld

If you have not watched Seinfeld, you are seriously missing out. Seinfeld is known as “the show about nothing” and was one of the most popular TV shows back in the 1990s. It was created by Jerry Seinfeld, a stand-up comedian, and Larry David, a comedy writer, in 1989. Seinfeld and David wanted to break away from traditional TV storytelling and focus on creating a sitcom that turned moments of everyday life into comedy.

Seinfeld follows the lives of some unique and unforgettable New Yorkers – four close friends who navigate the ups and downs of everyday life. Whether it’s grocery store checkout line stress, the mystery of the lost sock or the panic of forgetting someone’s name, Seinfeld captures life’s smallest frustrations and turns them into relatable humour. Each character has a certain quirkiness about them as well as their endearing qualities. Seinfeld stars as himself, joined by Julia Louis-Dreyfus as his ex-girlfriend Elaine (you should see her dance!), Jason Alexander as neurotic George and Michael Richards as chaotic Kramer, who lives in the unit opposite to Jerry.

The best part is that there are 9 seasons with 180 episodes that roughly go for 30 minutes each, making it the perfect study break companion! What’s more, the humour truly does stand the test of time. If you love a good laugh, unforgettable characters and clever storytelling, you must watch!
