Seinfeld

Seinfeld remains the definitive sitcom of the 1990s, running nine seasons and earning over $3 billion in syndication revenue. Co-created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, its observational humor about trivial daily life generated an industry of imitators. The series won 10 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 1993, and its finale attracted 76 million viewers — a record for a sitcom that still stands. No other show has so thoroughly proven that a comedy about nothing can sustain enormous commercial and critical success.
