Comedy23 min per episode

Jerry Seinfeld is a lightly fictionalized version of himself, a stand-up comic navigating dating, friendship, and everyday aggravations in 1990s New York with a tight, argumentative circle. Jason Alexander’s George is Jerry’s needy best friend, always turning small setbacks into elaborate crises, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus is Elaine, an ex who remains firmly in the group’s orbit. Along with the ever-unpredictable neighbor Kramer, they build entire conflicts out of waiting in line, losing a car, bad social encounters, and the unwritten rules of city life. Created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, the series keeps its focus on the petty details people can’t stop discussing.
