Often described as "a show about nothing," the show uses its original point of view to explore life's quotidian occurrences that provide humor when viewed from afar: things such as losing your car in a parking garage, working for an eccentric boss, or coping with the trials and tribulations of dating.

Contributing to "Seinfeld's" overwhelming success is its cast of unstereotypical characters, led by multi-award winner Jerry Seinfeld (Golden Globe, Best Actor in a Television Comedy Series) as a stand-up comedian who, together with his quirky group of friends, wrestles with single life in New York City. Also starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards, who portrays Jerry's eccentric next-door neighbor, Cosmo Kramer. In addition to the Emmy Award, the series has won many honors, including the prestigious Peabody Award (Best Television Entertainment), a Golden Globe Award (Best TV Series - Comedy/Musical) and a Screen Actors Guild Award (Outstanding Ensemble Performance in a Comedy Series). "Seinfeld" is a West/Shapiro Production in association with Castle Rock Entertainment. Larry David and Seinfeld are the creators. Seinfeld, Howard West and George Shapiro are the executive producers and Peter Mehlman serves as the co-executive producer.
