No doubt, the best tv show in the genre ever. It's a show about nothing and yet everything. It's not your usual sitcom where creators want you to fall in love with the characters and then gradually make a sitcom into a rom-com. After watching this, comedy shown in popular shows like Friends and HIMYM would seem sub-standard. The comedy in Seinfeld is so subtle and on-point, it will lighten your mood immediately. Kudos to Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld for the way they have nitpicked on the behavioral intricacies and insecurities of the humans, and for how they have mocked the events of the time.
All four major characters are excellent and bring their own style of comedy to the table. Kramer's physical comedy; ever sublime and charming Elaine Benes; George's excellent comic timing and self-deprecating humor; and of course, Jerry Seinfeld's observational standups, present an all-time classic. Also, all the supporting characters are so well written that producers could have easily made spin-offs out of any of them. My personal favorite is the Kramer's lawyer Jackie Chiles, who is actually based on a real-life lawyer, Johnnie Cochran of O J Simpson's trial. Yes, they have made fun of that trial too.
Seinfeld's motto is not to make you feel emotional and teach life lessons, but to make you just laugh. As Jerry Seinfeld himself has said, the show's motto is "No hugging and no learning."
