This is a reflective, funny account of one of the most popular TV
sitcoms ever made: "Seinfeld "(1990-1998). Ostensibly a show "about
nothing," its creator Larry David decreed that it should contain
"no hugging, no learning." Nicholas Mirzoeff explores Seinfeld's
obsession with the rules of everyday life in the key areas of
comedy itself: dating, relationships, Jewishness and how to be a
New Yorker, wherever you happen to live. Mirzoeff situates Seinfeld
as an expression of Clinton-era America, from its consistently
ironic take on social life, to the changing culture of sexuality
and ethnicity. This is a reflective, funny and occasionally
digressive account of what it is to watch television.
