Now you can own 180 episodes about nothing
"Seinfeld," considered by many TV viewers as the greatest sitcom of all time, ran on NBC from 1989 to 1998. Standup comedian Jerry Seinfeld starred in "the show about nothing" along with Jason Alexander as his best friend George, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as his ex-girlfriend Elaine and Michael Richards as the quirky Kramer. There was great chemistry between the cast members, and 75 million people tuned in for the final episode.
