As I understand it, the basic premise of "Seinfeld" is that it was a "show about nothing". In that it certainly succeeded: nothing to recommend it, nothing funny about it, nothing to make it worth one's while. Over the course of half an hour it might elicit a guffaw or two, but for the most part the humor is either sophomoric or nonexistent. It's the sort of show that made me feel embarrassed to watch, even if I was the only one in the room. My time was better spend elsewhere, like in a good book.
