Seinfeld is a classic sitcom about the daily lives and situations of the comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his three close friends. The main group i.e Jerry, Kramer, George and Elane were all fantastic. Loved them all. Kramer was my favourite. His impulsive and weird nature was such a joy to watch. There was also a plethora of great and memorable secondary characters throughout the show, my most favourite being Newman (The fat guy from Jurassic Park).
This show has the usual/typical sitcom main format. You have your group of friends. You have the apartment where they usually meet. There is the usual eating place/cafe/diner where they hang out etc etc.
Seinfeld is like the definition of sitcom(situation comedy). It makes the smallest daily routine stuff into hilarious full on episodes. It doesn't delve into romantic entanglements between group members which carry out for seasons like how other sitcoms usually do(Friends, How I met your mother). This adds to the fun factor of the show as no lovey-dovey stuff makes room for more funny situations. And all four main characters usually get proper screen-time in each episode.
The writing was great. So SO many awesome jokes, quotable lines and such throughout the seasons that I was baffled. And I loved how the show didn't care about giving lessons or stuff. The main characters had this non-consequential routine to their lives, so you can just enjoy the craziness without having to care about the rest.
As any long show (5+ seasons) usually decreases in quality overtime, Seinfeld was no different. But it did something that I haven't witnessed in a long running show before. IT totally bounced back late in its run, the 7th season, which I didn't expect and really enjoyed and found to be one of the best seasons. ALAS, the momentum died in the last two seasons and the show became way more ridiculous in them. Still, it was better than most at this stage.
Huge props to the creators for the ending though. You usually get a partially satisfying ending or a really horrible one with shows like these but the way this show ended in a totally unexpected way was really great.
Great sitcom, a real classic. One of my favourite. Perfect for anyone who likes these type of shows.
