The continuing misadventures of neurotic New York City stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his equally neurotic New York City friends.

A group of strange friends who live in New York City wander together on numerous wild, chaotic adventures. From time to time they get themselves into more serious situations and need to work together to extricate themselves and one another from trouble and live their own lives.—RECB3

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld stars in this television comedy series as himself. The premise of this sitcom is Jerry and his friends going through everyday life, discussing various quirky situations to which anyone can relate--especially fellow New York City residents. The offbeat characters' eccentric personalities who make up Jerry's social circle contribute to the fun.—Tad Dibbern <[email protected]>

One of the most-watched television shows of the 1990s, this show is a true-to-life comedy series that follows the events of a group of friends. The group consists of Jerry Seinfeld, a stand-up comedian who questions every bizarre tidbit about life; George Costanza (Jason Alexander), a hard-luck member of the New York Yankees organization; Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a flashy book editor who is not afraid to speak her mind; and Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards), an extremely eccentric, lanky goofball. Another notable member of the show is chubby mail carrier Newman (Wayne Knight), who is Kramer's friend and Jerry's nemesis--and Elaine's admirer. The parents of both Jerry and George are further sources of comedy.

Jerry Seinfeld is a very successful stand-up comedian, mainly because the people around him offer an endless supply of great material. His best friend is George Costanza (Jason Alexander), a bald, whiny loser who craves the kind of success Jerry has, but is never willing to do what it takes to get it. Jerry's neighbor Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) often barges into his apartment and imposes on him. In the second episode, Jerry's former girlfriend Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) comes back into his life, and the four of them are able to form a mutual friendship. The episodes were rarely very plot-heavy, focusing more on mundane conversations and situations that could be found during everyday life in New York City.—rmlohner
