Description
In this episode we break down the pilot episode of Seinfeld, which was created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. The series premiered on July 5, 1989, on NBC, and aired for nine seasons. The full series is currently streaming on Hulu, and the pilot episode is titled “The Seinfeld Chronicles,” but is also known as “Good News, Bad News,” and “Pilot.”   As always, we take a look at the (Hulu) description: “In the Emmy award-winning ‘Seinfeld,’ Jerry Seinfeld provides a hysterical look at life as a single adult in the ‘90s.” For a show about nothing, this sums it up pretty well!   We also discuss the origin of the show, which is explored in the documentary Seinfeld: How It Began. This includes the original plan to create a 90-minute television special, with the premise of the show being a stand-up comic going about his life and gathering inspiration for his set.   In addition to our detailed breakdown of the episode, we also relate our own experiences to those of the characters as they navigate the gray areas of social interaction.   For more information and to contact us, check out our social media pages: Facebook @YouMeAndTV, Twitter @YouMeAndTVPod, and Instagram @youmeandtvpodcast.
