Seinfeld

One of the most successful comedies on network TV, Seinfeld finds its way onto the list at number 74.

I may not have loved this show as much as many others, but I did watch it regularly. It was clever and funny, with a group of some of the most eccentric characters on TV.

To this day, I will use lines like “NO SOUP FOR YOU” or “Hell-oooo Newman” in my life. Seinfeld has a place in the zeitgeist of American culture, unlike few shows of its generation.

Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards made one of the best foursomes in TV history. The show worked because of these four characters, as unlikable as they may be to the on show world, were beloved by the public.

Though the show reviled in the idea that it was a “show about nothing,” it was actually about life. Life with these four characters and their desperate needs to find something more than what they had.
