Through nine seasons and years and years of reruns following, the series and cast alike have gathered a cult following. Although a self-described “show about nothing,” “Seinfeld” fans across the world will argue this show is everything.
Written by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld and starring Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards, Jason Alexander and Wayne Knight, the critically acclaimed ’90s sitcom aired on NBC from 1989 to 1998.
