 Jerry Seinfeld is a very succesful stand-up comedian, mainly because the people around him offer an endless supply of great material. His best friend is George, a bald, whiny loser who craves the kind of success Jerry has but is never willing to do what it takes to get it. Jerry s neighbor Kramer often barges into his apartment and imposes onto his life. In the second episode Jerry s former girlfriend Elaine comes back into his life, and the four of them are able to form a friendship together. The episodes were rarely very plot-heavy, focusing more on mundane conversations and situations that could be found during everyday life in New York.
