Seinfeld-Best Show Ever

For my sixth blog of the year, I am being asked to write about my favorite TV show. I watch a good amount of TV but it’s mostly sports and random shows. After thinking about a few shows which I definitely prefer to watch such as Seinfeld, King of the Hill, the Simpsons, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, I realized that there wasn’t even a contest for my favorite show. The best show ever is easily Seinfeld. I wouldn’t be the only one to say that as it is considered to be one of the best shows ever on just about every “Top Television Shows” list. Most shows deal with big issues and have touching plots that leave you thinking. Seinfeld is nothing like that, it constantly deals with small issues and problems that people have in everyday life such as dealing with strangers, dating, and riding the el. The show is about a comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, who lives in New York and spends a lot of time with his three good friends George, Kramer, and Elaine. Jerry Seinfeld plays himself in the show and seems to point out every small flaw with everything. A lot of the plots revolve around the women he dates and every girl seems to have one small flaw. A few examples of why he couldn’t date different women would be a girl having man hands, a girl who eats peas individually, a girl who is naked “too often”, a girl who used a toothbrush that fell in the toilet, and that‘s just the beginning. He is considered by many, including myself, to be the funniest character just with his perfectionism and hilarious responses. George is a stocky, bald man who seems to have bad luck with just about everything. He lives with his parents during one season and just deals with being unemployed, bald, and cheap. Kramer is definitely the strangest character in the show, and one of the strangest in any show I’ve ever seen. He does everything from punching Mickey Mantle in the face to tanning with butter. Elaine isn’t that great of a character in the show. A lot of the funny parts of her have to do with her reactions to different things and the men she dates.
After writing this paragraph I realized it would be hard to understand how funny the show is without actually watching it. I’m sure anyone who likes Seinfeld who is reading this would like all the funny moments mentioned in this blog.
