Widely regarded as the small screen's most innovative sitcom, the series created an unparalleled cache of clever plots, snappy dialogue and crafty characters. Cementing the show's standing among classic series, TV Guide ranked Seinfeld #1 on its 2002 list of "50 Greatest Shows of All Time." And while the show's innovators would never consider it endearing, it has earned a spot in the hearts of millions, as the mere mention of an episode will send fans reveling in memories. The foursome's escapades swiftly segue from the corner coffee shop to a Chinese restaurant, from the local movie house to a mall parking lot, and from the car mechanic to a car rental counter as their everyday experience subtly set the stage for incisive humor about modern single life and its assorted inanities in the big city.

Currently, Seinfeld airs in high-profile time periods in leading television stations in more than 200 markets around the U.S., representing more than 99 percent of the viewing audience. Seinfeld's national demographic rating in syndication, particularly among males and young adults, have outrated the best of current broadcast network and cable programs.
