Plot Synopsis

The seminal 'show about nothing' focuses on four Manhattanites who exist in each others' self-absorbed, neurotic worlds. Based on Seinfeld's own stand-up comedy, he keeps a friendly relationship with his ex-girlfriend Elaine while cavorting with his out-in-leftfield next door neighbor Kramer and his over-the-top, insecure, best friend George. NBC first aired the show's pilot, THE SEINFELD CHRONICLES, on Wednesday, July 5, 1989 at 9:30pm ET/PT. Then, more than 10 months later, NBC premiered the first full season of SEINFELD on Thursday, May 31, 1990 at 9:30pm ET/PT. To conform with pop-culture convention, we use the premiere date of the pilot as SEINFELD's premiere date.
