Seinfeld
NBC 1989-98
Yada yada. Master of your domain. Spongeworthy. The catchphrases of Seinfeld have so wormed their way into everyday use, they’ve all but consumed the legacy of the rest of the series. Perhaps it’s because one of those phrases, “a show about nothing,” undersells what Seinfeld did so brilliantly. Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David obsessed over ephemera, but with comic precision, particularly in how different stories (Kramer’s golf balls, George as a marine biologist) collided at the end of each episode. It’s the re-gift that keeps on giving.
