ARTICLES RELATED TO Seinfeld - Overview | | | |  Seinfeld - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Seinfeld - OverviewThe show has been famously described as "the show about nothing" (a self-referential phrase from an episode describing Jerry and George's attempt to create a sitcom idea), as most of the comedy was based around the largely inconsequential minutiae of everyday life, and often involved petty rivalries and elaborate schemes to gain the smallest advantage over other individuals. Seinfeld himself notes that his original premise - and the purpose for the standup excerpts that bookended each show - was that the show would be about how a comedian ga ...

Seinfeld - Main characters.
Jerome (Jerry) Seinfeld (played by Jerry Seinfeld)—A standup comedian who seeks out relationships with very attractive women which rarely last more than one episode.

| | | | Seinfeld - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Seinfeld - Criticism Though the series had many devoted fans throughout its later seasons, many have criticized the show for changing its tone and losing its inspiration over the course of its nine-year run. As with any long-running series, the question of if and when the show "jumped the shark" is fiercely debated, with many differing opinions held.
In seasons 1 and 2, the show moved relatively slowly, with more of an emphasis on real-life situations. Unlike anything else on television at the time, it developed a cult following and glowing reviews, though this period isn't as h ...

| | | | Seinfeld - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Seinfeld - Music A signature of Seinfeld is its theme music: distinct solo synthesized bass guitar "pickups" which open the show and connect the scenes. These short riffs were composed by Jonathan Wolff and are considered groundbreaking in their use as sitcom music. They vary throughout each episode, and are played in an improvised blues-funk style. An additional musical theme with an ensemble, led by a synthesized mid-range br ...

Seinfeld - The Contest.
One of the most controversial Seinfeld episodes, "The Contest", centers around a pact of self-denial between Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine. The four place a bet (with Elaine contributing a higher stake) on who can go the longest without masturbating. In the show however, they were able to convey the meaning without actually using the word "masturbation". Kramer's early exit from the bet has become a classic moment in Seinfeld history, with his simple "I'm out!" as he slams his cash on the counter. This episode also features Jane Leeves (of Frasier fame) ...

| | | | Seinfeld - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Seinfeld - Product placement A recurring feature of Seinfeld was its use of specific products as plot points, especially various candy products. These products might be a central feature of a plot narrative (e.g. Junior Mints, Twix and Pez), or associating the candy with a guest character (e.g. Oh Henry! bars), or simply discussing the merits of the candy in a conversational aside (e.g. Chuckles). Examples of non-candy products featured in Seinfeld are Rold Gold pretzels (whose advertisements at the time featured Jason Alexander), Kenny Rogers Roasters (a ...

| | | | Seinfeld - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Seinfeld - Ending Jerry Seinfeld announced that the series would end production on December 26, 1997. The announcement made the front page of all the major New York newspapers, including the New York Times. Seinfeld was featured on the cover of Time Magazine's first issue of 1998.
