The preeminent show of the 1990’s decade, Seinfeld grew from an idea of “a show about nothing” into a sacred pop culture icon – not that there’s anything wrong with that… The show follows the life of comedian Jerry Seinfeld and the exploits of his short, quirky, bald guy best friend, George Costanza (Jason Alexander), Jerrys neurotic neighbor Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards), and Jerrys ex-girlfriend Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Through the years, theyre joined by a loveable cast of characters that includes Newman, Uncle Leo, the Soup Nazi, Frank and Estelle Costanza, the Bubble Boy, and countless others

The Seinfeld DVD (Seasons 1 & 2) offers the very first glimpse into the world Jerry, beginning with The Pilot 아오하 (episode 1) which was originally titled The Seinfeld Chronicles. The first scene involves Jerry commenting to George about a button on his shirt (the same conversation later takes place in the last scene of the series finale). These opening episodes provide insight into the development of the shows four primary characters with conversations that range from Georges initial admission that hed like to be an architect (episode 2) to Kramers propensity for get rich quick schemes like a make-your-own-pizza pizzeria (episode 4). From day one, Seinfeld established itself as must see TV, creating such memorable episodes as The Stock Tip, The Pony Remark, The Deal, and The Chinese Restaurant.

Interestingly, in the pilot episode of Seinfeld, Elaines character does not yet exist, and Kramers character (not yet named Kramer, but Feldman) is more of an unemployed, pathetic, shut-in neighbor than the usual quirky and energetic Cosmo. Playing the role of the female in George and Jerrys life is a wisecracking waitress named Claire (Lee Garlington) who never appears in later episodes.

Nevertheless, this initial episode exhibits the flashes of brilliance that made Seinfeld a cultural phenomenon. The show is essentially about nothing. George and Jerry do some laundry Jerry and his neighbor watch some TV George and Jerry have some coffee During that time, the dominant topic of conversation is a girl that Jerry met while taking his comedy act on the road. Shes coming to stay at his place, but he doesnt know whether he should pull out a mattress for her or not. Feldman (Kramer), George, and Jerry debate the topic endlessly until the woman arrives and Jerry learns that its all irrelevant because shes engaged
