Series Tip: Seinfeld

Like I said before the show revolves around Jerry Seinfeld (played by Jerry Seinfeld) and his friends. Jerry is a standup comedian (in the show as well as in real life) and he lives in an apartment in Manhattan New York (this is the main “stage” of the show). Jerry is kind of a neat freak, a big Superman Fan and in his relationships with women he has the most ridiculous reasons to break up with women (for example: for having “man hands”, for not tasting his pie, for having a terrible laugh, for eating peas one at a time and for making him choose between her and the use of a silly voice, she didn’t think is funny (he chooses the voice)). Then there is Elaine Benes (played by Julia Louise Dreyfus). Elaine is Jerry’s former girlfriend, but after their break up they remain friends. She is attractive, assertive, kind of selfish and she often loses her temper. George Costanza (played by Jason Alexander) is Jerry’s best friend since high school. He lives with his parents for a big part of the show and they drive him crazy. The thing he does best is: lying. He lies about everything mostly to get a job or a women. He is also very neurotic and insecure (this is mostly because of his dysfunctional relationship with his parents). He can be very lazy and he is “bald and stocky”, but he doesn’t do all that bad with women. George is afraid of Elaine. Cosmo Kramer (played by Michael Richards) is Jerry’s next door neighbor. Kramer is pretty eccentric. He has a very distinctive vintage look in his clothes and haircut. He also has a very distinctive way of moving and talking. Kramer is very successful in picking up women, due to his natural charm. Overall Kramer is very caring and very honest, except when it comes to his way of making money. He has a lot of shifty acquaintances. One of Kramer’s friends is Newman (played by Wayne Knight). They often collaborate in bizarre schemes to get rich. Newman is also Jerry's arch nemeses. He lives in the same building and works for the US Postal Service (“If you control the mail, you control information”). It’s often said, that “Seinfeld” is a show about nothing, because it focuses on everyday life and discusses situations we can all relate to.
