	THAT GIRL on The Web Bookstore - Entertainment
		His 20-year stand-up career, working alongside the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Garry Shandling, and David Letterman, was a long, hard, and laugh-filled battle to the top.
		Included are an episode-by-episode look at every season, the complete "Seinfeld" "filmography", a "Seinfeld" dating guide, and "yadda, yadda, yadda".
		It seems most jokes from stand-up comedians through the years have poked fun at race, religion, gender or sex while the rest have intended to be downright offensive.

	Official Ticketmaster site. Jerry Seinfeld tickets, dates
		In 1980, Seinfeld was cast in the sitcom Benson, but was fired after just a few episodes; he returned to stand-up with a vengeance, and a year later made his first appearance on The Tonight Show, winning over host Johnny Carson.
		Premiering in 1991 under the name The Seinfeld Chronicles, the show was an immediate critical hit but fared poorly in the ratings; known as simply Seinfeld from its second episode onward, the series gradually gained momentum, and NBC agreed to an order of six more episodes, followed in its third year by 13 more.
		Throughout much of the decade, it remained the highest-rated sitcom on television, but in 1998 Seinfeld pulled the plug on the show, despite reports that NBC offered him a staggering $5 million per episode to continue for another 22-episode season.

	AskMen.com - Seinfeld
		And just so you know, I omitted my personal favorite for the greater good read on and you'll know which one it is. By the way, Seinfeld was famous for morphing various storylines into one, but for the most part, this list mentions the main topic that makes the episode stand out.
		This show is entitled "The Puffy Shirt," but its notoriety stems from the fact that it was Kramer's soft-spoken girlfriend who asked Jerry, in a low voice, to wear a puffy shirt that she designed on The Today Show.
		In what was probably the greatest stroke of irony, Jerry is shocked to learn that the show he was to develop for NBC could be about...

		Seinfeld was played by Phil Bruns in the Pilot episode, and by Barney Martin in all subsequent appearances.

		And he described what, to me, seemed like a sound design problem: He invisioned The Main Title sequence to center on him performing stand up comedy relating to the story line of the episode.
		I based the rhythm of the SEINFELD theme on the rhthyms of his speech patterns.
		(The organic nature of these sounds would hopefully blend well with his speaking voice.) The prominent bass line of the SEINFELD theme is in an audio range that does not compete with his voice.

	Amazon.co.uk: Seinfeld: Seasons 1 - 3 [1993]: DVD
		Co-written and co-created by Seinfeld and Larry David (who later went on to plumb greater depths of misanthropy with Curb Your Enthusiasm), it revolutionised American sitcoms with its cynical and mature comedy, and its ability to find comic gems in the most mundane situations (one classic episode is set entirely in a mall car-park).
		There's about 30 mins of outtakes/bloopers, commentary tracks on selected episodes ("Yada, yada, yada"), a featurette about Kramer's character and the real life inspiration for him, deleted scenes ("In the vault"), some stand-up footage from Jerry that wasn't used in the shows, and TV spots, trailers etc.
		Seinfeld is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of American sitcoms, and this long-delayed box set goes a long way in demonstrating why.

		The episode title is "The Seinfeld Chronicles" on the Season 1&2 DVD.
		When this episode first aired, the series was known as "The Seinfeld Chronicles".
		Lee Garlington (Claire) was supposed to be part of the original cast, as the friendly waitress who gave advice to the boys about their daily lives (hence why she was in the opening credits, and not Pamela Brull, who played a bigger role in this episode) but was dropped because she was considered boring.

	Seinfeld DVD
		The pilot episode entitled 'The Seinfeld Chronicles' was actually not exclusive to the show, it does not, for example have most of the acting talent as seen later on in the show, and some of the references might not make sense at first.
		The titular Jerry Seinfeld is a stand-up comedian (a damn good one too) who is surrounded by the obvious bucket-full of eccentric characters, oddball friends and the occasional loopy neighbour.
		Seinfeld is quintessential American comedy and nothing much else produced in the last ten years save from the two aforementioned sitcom's can really touch it.

	Sony Pictures Television - Seinfeld
		Cementing Seinfeld's standing among classic series, TV Guide ranked the comedy #1 on its 2002 list of the "50 Greatest Shows of All Time." And while the show's innovators would never consider it endearing, it has endeared itself to millions, as the mere mention of an episode will send fans reveling in memories.
		The group's core is Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), a stand-up comedian whose professional path includes a shot at creating a network sitcom, a guest spot on the "Today" show, and a wealth of other quests gone-awry with a personal life rife with an endless parade of never-quite-right girlfriends.
		Seinfeld earned a well-deserved reputation for generating water-cooler conversation with brilliantly-spun storylines about Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer, oft-repeated conversation snippets and unapologetic glee for a revolving line-up of quirky friends, relatives, dates and urbanites.

	Journal of Popular Film and Television: Sitcoms Say Goodbye: THE CULTURAL SPECTACLE OF SEINFELD'S LAST EPISODE
		Seinfeld's final episode was written and produced by Larry David, who had left at the end of the seventh season but returned for the finale.
		Self-reflexivity was embedded within its premise Jerry Seinfeld played himself as a stand-up comic who used his own experiences as the basis for his on-stage performances, in much the same way that the real comedian bases his act on acute observations of the small moments of his own off-stage life.
		The hype surrounding the closing episode of Seinfeld (May 14, 1998), in particular, elevated it to the status of cultural spectacle.

	Movie Poop Shoot - Toy Box
		If you've seen the classic SEINFELD episode involving Bizarro Jerry, Kramer and George, then you know just how difficult the idea of the Bizarro World can be to explain.
		Considering the body reuse and the stand reuse between the Supes and Bizarro figures, you would have assumed they could have gotten the price down.
		That's a bit of a negative, since Bizarro is usually depicted as somewhat physically abnormal to Supes, and really the only reason I docked the sculpt score.

		Pinette opened for Frank Sinatra and later got engagements opening for Howie Mandel, Michael Bolton, Ray Charles and The Four Tops in Las Vegas.

	BBC - h2g2 - 'Seinfeld' - the TV Series
		Kenny Kramer currently runs the 'Seinfeld's Reality Road-Show' which was spoofed on Seinfeld in the 'Muffin Top' episode as Cosmo Kramer's 'Peterman Reality Tour'.
		There is a general idea of a curse among the cast of Seinfeld, that after working on the hit show, success somehow eluded them.
		For six years, Larry David lived across the hall from Kenny Kramer, who was the inspiration for Cosmo Kramer.

	Insomniac with Dave Attell
		Each episode opened with a bit from Dave Attell's stand-up act ala Seinfeld, then he went on a night time tour of the city he was performing in, in each episode.
		Standup (by this millennium is too “out” to build a show around anymore) and the wild people Dave encounters in the cities he visits are not necessarily always the best main elements of the comedy.
		Dave Attell is probably the least interesting and funny part of this show.

		This multimedia stage show is in part a globe-trotting version of Kenny Kramer's popular tour of Seinfeld sites in New York, and part stand-up comedy with Kramer telling the stories behind the sitcom's side-splitting plots.
		Kenny Kramer's New York bus tour was actually parodied in the show, when Cosmo Kramer started the Peterman Reality Tour in the Muffin Top episode.
		There's also plenty of humour to be had from stories about Kenny Kramer's post-Seinfeld existence, including how the show inspired him to run for mayor of New York City.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Annie Hall
		Annie Hall is Woody Allen's masterpiece, and indeed any film that can beat Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope to the 1977 Best Picture Oscar must be pretty damn good, and it is. This is Woody Allen's most autobiographical movie, and the lead character of Alvy Singer is a pretty thin disguise.
		Singer used to be a gag writer for comedians, but made a career decision to do his own comic stand-up routine.
		The relationship between Alvy Singer and Annie Hall is portrayed with the closest attention to detail, so that whether it is waiting in line to see a movie, buying books for one another, persuading Annie to take up an academic course or photographing Alvy during a very amusing lobster incident, the result is highly effective.
