I found this during the tailend of my research for a paper on seinfeld and pop culture, and i wish i had found it first. it brought together many of the articles and book chapters i had found before (although some were reedited for maximum seinfeld discussion)and a bunch that i couldn't find through my university library. it's a great read for anyone interested in the cultural aspects of the show. book also includes a "complete" glossary of seinfeld terms, a complete listing of the episodes with synopses, and many interesting chapters. i liked this study much better than "seinfeld and philosophy," which i thought less captivating. and because many of these articles come from published works (books, scholarly journals) they have been well written and edited. all in all it was the perfect buy for my research.

This product is a "reader" type, a book for those who like to read about each program that came from Seinfeld. This book comprises reviews by print medium people and the like. Well written, but heavy on cultural meanings and jazzy thoughts versus how the show was put together and what the back story was. There is not much about the personal lives of the actors as they did their magic. This is definitely not a book that tells much about the day to day operation that gave birth to this astoundingly good series.

Well written with in text refrencing to specific episodes that isn't too invasive. Contains a variety of well written academic essays.

This excellent book is a must-have for fans of Seinfeld. Great text, analysis of characters, morales, and good memories from the reading.
It made me want to watch several episodes again!
I recommend!
