I didn't watch Seinfeld.


How is that possible. It's the most
iconic show of a generation.
References to it in our culture
are everywhere. It made Seinfeld
a billionaire. The shows influence
is mind boggling. Just say 'soup
Nazi' to anybody and they instantly
know where it comes from.

You did not miss much
It was a show about nothing
Seriously
They made a serious point in the show about the show being about nothing.

You need to go back and watch it. In the 1990s you were out of the loop if you were not up on it. Probably the last show that will capture the nation in the way that it did. It even had a season where they did the show within itself and spoofed itself.

It broke so many sitcom rules at the time. Today we do not notice, but when they did it back then it was so amazing. A show where they just wait for a table at a Chinese restaurant. Now, shows can take that kind of risk. When the showed it to the network in 1990 or so the execs lost their minds.

Robert W. Gore, the inventor of Gore-Tex fabric, dead at 83

Would you know about goretex if not for "Seinfeld?"


I think anyone that lives in a cold climate knows about Goretex. I know I never saw a Seinfeld about it.

I have the actor's autograph right outside my office. It says, "Mike -- No soup for you!"
