After a slow and inauspicious beginning, Seinfeld broke through to
become one of the most commercially successful sitcoms in the
history of television. It was named by TV Guide as "The Greatest
Show of All Time," and has become an entrenched part of American
popular culture - its language, jokes, characters, and situations
part of the water cooler vocabulary of two, even three,
generations. This fascinating book includes classic articles on the
show by Geoffrey O'Brien and Bill Wyman (first published in the
"New York Review of Books" and Salon.com respectively), and a
selection of new and revised essays by some of the top television
scholars in the US - looking at issues as wide-ranging as
Seinfeld's Jewishness, alleged nihilism, food obsession, and
long-running syndication. The book also includes a comprehensive
episode guide, and Betty Lee's lexicon of Seinfeld language.
