However, Larry David was the yang to Jerry Seinfeld’s yin.

It seemed like gold (Jerry, gold!) that Jerry Seinfeld would have his own series after his numerous talk show appearances, especially since he would be playing a hyperbolic version of himself: a comedian who draws in big crowds, thanks to his relatable comedy. It was common for comics to get their own sitcoms, particularly ones named after them, that would act as vessels for their latest material. NBC was looking for its next big series when Seinfeld and David teamed up to make The Seinfeld Chronicles. He knew that speaking all of our languages at the same time was enough to draw us in. Seinfeld was known for his observational humour, especially his typically wholesome, non-blue approach. This was especially important concerning who he would team up with: a young comedian on the rise, by the name of Jerry Seinfeld. It’s as if he had the master key to get through any of society’s unwritten rules, and that he could do virtually anything that he wanted at any given time. It’s obvious trivia now, but this was so indicative of who Larry David was as a person: a guy who played by his own rules. Of course, he famously would show up on Monday morning, as if nothing had happened, and he actually kept working at Saturday Night Live.

Working on the sketch comedy series wasn’t easy sailing, as David would furiously quit from the show during his first season there. He would eventually pick up work with the short-lived live comedy show Fridays, which was his foray into a little-known show called Saturday Night Live. Larry David was a struggling comedian that worked a series of jobs across New York City. We have to go back to the start in order to understand more. It wasn’t an immediate success by any means.

The unfurling of the show’s nine seasons actually makes perfect sense in the grand scheme of things, considering that a retrospective look highlights the purely-natural response to the series over time. Instead, the smaller curiosities, annoyances, and oddities of life were just explained in such a way that everyone could identify with Seinfeld. We weren’t looked down upon by a bunch of comedy writers that assumed that they knew better than the rest of the world. None of the main characters ever learned from their mistakes, and there weren’t any lessons for us to take any morals away from, either.

Who cared about the qualms of someone stealing your parking space, overbuying from a discount grocery store, or having to buy socks for your employer? No other show - especially not situation comedies - prioritized the minutiae of life on full blast, as if these were major turning points of the lives featured here.Įxcept they weren’t. If anything, it’s actually about everything particularly the small little details of how stupid the human experience can be that every other series before ignored. Seinfeld wasn’t just a show about complete nothingness. Despite this often-spouted proclamation whenever people discuss the genius being Seinfeld, the history behind said sitcom contradicts how nonchalant this claim makes the show feel.
