"The Seinfeld Show"

Paper Summary:

The paper states that "The Seinfeld Show", which became one of the biggest sitcom successes in television history, was built around the premise that everyday life can be entertaining. The author believes that America needs to laugh at itself, the urban setting, the dynamics of the four main characters and the comedic scripts were the core reasons for its success. The paper discusses the negative critics' claim that the show, based on four adults who have no substance in their life, is insulting to the adults in America.

From the Paper:

"The show was viewed by almost 40 million viewers each week at its all time high and never dropped below 9 million viewers per week. The four main characters, Elaine, Jerry, George and Kramer, became legendary across the globe. The deal was cut, however, for Jerry to enjoy the profits of the show while the other three received talent pay only. Jason Alexander, who played George, admitted at the height of the show's success that it was a bone of contention for the cast, but it was the way the deal had been cut before the stardom rocket took off."
