Seinfeld Review

One of the lead characters of the show pitches the idea of a tv show to NBC, a show about nothing. That's what Seinfeld is, a show about nothing. Seinfeld has four friends living in New York, which is what most sitcoms are about right? A group of friends hanging out. But that is the only similarity that Seinfeld has with any other sitcom. Nobody is looking for the love of their life, nobody has any dreams or aspirations of making it big, its just four friends living their life.

The characters lack any sort of moral principles which add to its appeal and gives its very own twist of dark humour. The brilliance of Seinfeld is how it makes the most mundane of situations into something absolutely hilarious. Whole episodes are made with the simplest of plots such as the group going out for dinner or going to watch a movie which are as hilarious as the best episodes of FRIENDS or How I Met Your Mother. The characters are lovable although they lack any sort of human sympathy. Seinfeld is not just another sitcom though, certain episodes has some deep social messages and the show uses satire to convey this messages. ("The Outing" satirises how people in our society try to act liberal on homosexuality but get offended as soon as they are implied as homosexual)

If you are of a fan of sitcoms and haven't watched Seinfeld yet then you have no idea what you are missing out on. Your opinion about the best sitcom ever has a pretty good chance of changing after watching Seinfeld
