Amazon.com Review
Seinfeld is more than just a TV show, and David Wild's tribute is more than just an episode guide. As he states in his introduction, "...for me, Seinfeld is one of those rare redeemers of popular culture; like Sinatra, pasta, or the Beatles, Seinfeld shows that sometimes the masses get things exactly right." Woven around Wild's brief and opinionated summaries of 164 episodes are trivia quizzes, a history of the show's development, a review of the real Soup Nazi's restaurant, and most interesting of all, comments from many of the guest stars who have appeared in Seinfeld. Even George Steinbrenner makes an appearance and he reveals why his much anticipated guest appearance was cut from the show. Many TV and movie tie-in titles feel rushed and opportunistic, but Seinfeld: The Totally Unauthorized Tribute is clearly the work of a real fan, and it's a lot of fun. Favorite fact? Jason Alexander and Holly Hunter made their first movie appearances in the same film. - Simon Leake

It's good but needs more details in the episode guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Seinfeld: The Totally Unauthorized Tribute (Not That There's Anything Wrong with That) (Paperback)
A good tribute to Seinfeld but the very un detailed episodeguide ruins the main part of the book. The rest is exellent includinga lot of celebrity's all wrote about Seinfeld. The cast members film credits and all.

A one-stop authority on Seinfeld lore,
By A Customer
This review is from: Seinfeld: The Totally Unauthorized Tribute (Not That There's Anything Wrong with That) (Paperback)
David Wild has created a single source of trivia about the show that has no equal. As Sein-withdrawl takes it's toll, the "Unauthorized Tribute" makes it a little easier to go on with life. I would like to know if David is going to "finish" the book by adding the remaining episode descriptions to a 2nd edition? Thanks for preserving the memories.

If you love Seinfeld, or just pop culture, this is a treat!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Seinfeld: The Totally Unauthorized Tribute (Not That There's Anything Wrong with That) (Paperback)
Buy this book! For Seinfeld-lovers, it's a must-have. For the uninitiated (or heretofore unimpressed), it will show you why the rest of America looks forward to Thursday nights. David Wild is a wonderfully funny writer, packing the book with details you'll love to remember, facts you never knew, and much more. I promise, it's worth it.
