Essays and Themes about the Show
Why
"Nothing" is interesting.
Seinfeld is the show about nothing so just what
is "nothing" and why is nothing so
interesting.
Plot lines that twist,
turn, then converge.
By the final scene of each episode a series of
separate plots and capers comes together via an
ending of irony and unlikely scenarios.
How the
characters complement each other.
George, and Jerry act as big childlike friends,
Elaine serves as their female acquaintaince, and
Kramer serves as the scheme maker that often
brings them all together.
The
Settings
A show about nothing is composed largely of
settings which are totally ordinary at least on
the surface.
The
Jerry/Newman rivalry
Just why do they hate each other so much and how
do they always manage to be around each other.
Superman
From villains, to music, Superman is never far
from being mentioned
Terms

such as low talker, anti-dentite, festivus,
closing the vault, spongeworthy, and
more.
References
