Jerry Seinfeld is an unfunny comedian who somehow got popular enough to get offered a starring role (or maybe he came up with the idea, I never bothered to find out because I never cared) in this hilarious "show about nothing" featuring the daily grind of a small group of friends in New York City. Jerry Seinfeld is not an actor and it shows. Unfortunately, since he is the 'star' of the show (and the least funny cast member), all of the other very talented cast are forced to act down to his level. But they manage to pull it off and still make the show funny, such is the talent of the lovely Julia Louis- Dreyfus as Elaine, Jason Alexander as George, and Michael Richards as the slapstick Kramer. They are assisted in their saving of this show from Seinfeld's lack of talent by characters such as George's parents (Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris) and Elaine's boss Mr. (J.) Peterman (John O'Hurley). Newman is as unfunny as Jerry. There are a plethora (yes I just went all El Guapo on y'all) of minor characters that round out the show and make it amusing and interesting. You grow to love these guys and root for them to overcome life's silly problems. Except Jerry. I cannot state often enough how pathetically unfunny and untalented Jerry Seinfeld is, and I am quite certain that if he were not in the show, it would be one of the funniest shows ever. Seven out of ten, would be 9/10 if Jerry was never involved.
