Seinfeld is a television sitcom, considered to be one
of the most popular and influential of the 1990s in the
U.S., to the point where it is often cited as epitomizing
the self-obsessed and ironic culture of the decade. In
2002, TV Guide released a list of the 50 best TV shows
of all time and ranked Seinfeld #1. The show stars Jerry
Seinfeld playing a character named after and based largely
on himself, and is set predominantly in an apartment block
in Manhattan's Upper West Side, New York. It features
an eclectic cast of characters, mainly Jerry's friends
and acquaintances – Cosmo Kramer, George Costanza
and Elaine Benes. It is produced by Castle-Rock Entertainment
(then helmed by famed actor and producer, Rob Reiner)
and is distributed by Columbia Pictures Television (now
Sony Pictures Television).
