The Seinfeld

The Seinfeld

Sitcoms are good stress busters. All you need to do is to choose from the large number of sitcoms created by different production houses. We must thank NBC (American National Broadcasting Company) for creating ‘The Seinfeld’.  Seinfeld was the pioneer of the sitcoms and the nine seasons lasting July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998 was kind of humorous revolution.

The success of this successful sitcom goes everyone who is part of the Seinfeld.  Strong consistent characters, simple situations and effortless delivery of jokes (involved in day to day life) make it humorously engaging. I am addicted to Seinfeld, its must watch for me. It’s a great stress buster and you just can’t watch once.

The cast couldn't be more perfect.  The cast includes Jerry Seinfeld who has played himself (as small scale celebrity stand-up comedian), George Costanza who is a cheapo, annoying, rarely honest and jealous best friend of Jerry.  Elaine Benes as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and Cosmo Kramer who is Jerry's "Crack neighbor".

I like the way characters unfold themselves from first episode. It takes 4/5 episodes to build the momentum but after that it’s a roller coaster ride. The punches are unforgettable and become part of your life. For example

·         George to Jerry “just remember, it's not a lie if you believe it”

·         George to his boss on getting fired “Well, you didn't have to say it like that”

·         Jerry to his girlfriend” I'm a man who respects a good coma”

·        Cosmo Kramer: I'm at the corner of 1st and 1st... How can the same street intersect with itself? It must be at the nexus of the universe.

There are countless punches which can make you burst into laughter. So in case you haven’t heard/watch ‘The Seinfeld’ just go for it, the laughter is guaranteed.
