"Seinfeld, which began tentatively in 1989, is an anomaly, one of those rare step-changes in entertainment that owes absolutely nothing to anything that came before it."
"Seinfeld is eager to give you more comedy value for your viewing investment. Seinfeld isn’t laugh-out-loud funny, but it’s one of the most amiable shows on the air."
