Despite the tagline of being a "show about nothing," Seinfeld always has something going on with its witty dialogue and hilarious cast of characters, both major and minor. It's one of the biggest and most iconic TV shows of all time, and just from watching a few episodes, it's easy to see how it earned such a stellar reputation.

Seinfeld, "the show about nothing," is still as hysterical as it was in the 1990s. My parents watched it when they were younger, and then showed it to me, and I have many fond memories of watching it with them and bonding over a similar interest. It is one of the better sitcoms I've watched and some of the goofy, outlandish scenarios in the show have me nearly in tears with laughter.
