Seinfeld history yadda yadda yadda... redundant, but the facts need to be heard and explained. This critically acclaimed show about nothing forever changed television. Writers and friends, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, pitched a television show to many television networks during the 1980's but nothing every from the pitches. NBC finally took a chance of the duo. During the time of Seinfeld, the only shows on television featured families and in a work environment, but Seinfeld presented a new kind non-blood related friends who did not work together or in some cases didn't work at all. Other sitcoms and television programs during the 1980s and 1900s spent their time slot with the sentimental values that arise in the family and wrapped up every episode with some kind of lesson learned or parable, if you will, but creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld avoided that at all cost, which created this "dictum "no hugging, no learning" [which] gave the show its distinctively cold and cynical tone." ("Seinfeld")
As WikiSein explains the show, "concerns [the] characters' attempts to do nice things for people, only to have them backfire exponentially." ("Seinfeld") The show was centralized around the themes of the stupidity behind social customs and rules, extreme behaviors of individuals, and how relationships succeeded or failed. Seinfeld has been "[categorized as] the show as a comedy of manners." ("Seinfeld")
Who were these characters? Where did they come from? The creators of Seinfeld made it their job to dissect reflect the everyday activities that happen each and everyday in persons life. Seinfeld had been based off of either Jerry Seinfeld's or Larry David's real-life acquaintances. For example, many of the story-lines portrayed in Seinfeld are real accounts that both occurred. Characters like the Soup Nazi (Larry Thomas) was based on Al Yeganeh and also J. Peterman (John O'Hurley) of the J. Peterman Catalog.
Below you are able to watch how it all began between Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld through the documentary How It Began (2004).
Seinfeld was on the air from July 5, 1989 to May 14, 1998. It has been recognized as, "One of the most popular and influential TV programs of the 1990s, it epitomizes the self-obsessed and ironic culture of the decade." ("Seinfeld") Back in 2002, TV Guide ranked Seinfeld as the greatest TV show of all time. Even after sixteen years since the finale aired on NBC the show continues to impact so many generations.
