Although I did not watch it from the very first episode when it was still on the air, Seinfeld remains one my all time favorite sitcoms. The http://www.chemistry-blog.com/ chemistry that existed between Jerry Seinfeld, Michael Richards and Julia Louis-Dreyfus was unique, fun to watch and so very rare. The show itself was sometimes centered exclusively around their interactions. Interactions that would not had been funny with any other set of actors.

Seinfeld was also fun to watch because of the depth and conciseness with which it captured the random idiosyncrasies of life in Manhattan. The everyday things that everyone in the city simply ignored or tolerated, no matter how minute, became the bases for an entire half hour gripe session on Seinfeld. They did not hold back either. From inside Manhattan jokes to simply mocking institutions within the city, everything was fair game.

The show also followed some strange but interesting character arcs. From the beginning when Elaine was the winner and George the loser, to the middle and near end where they switched roles. The constant soap opera of George's and Jerry's parents locked in mortal competition with each other.

There really has not been a show like it since. It broke the mold and became a template for future, less successful, sitcoms. Fortunately, the entire series can still be watched on satellite TV, that I got after seeing this www.cabletelevision.net, in glorious color. The reruns, for me, never get old.
