Seinfeld is an American sitcom co-created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David that aired on NBC from 1989 to 1998, following the daily lives of comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his three friends in New York City, built around minor, everyday social frustrations rather than conventional sitcom plotting, a structure the show itself referred to as being about nothing. The series broke with prior sitcom convention by deliberately avoiding character growth or moral resolution, and its finale in 1998 was one of the most-watched television broadcasts of the decade. Seinfeld is widely regarded as one of the most influential and successful American sitcoms ever produced, credited with reshaping the structure and tone of the genre that followed it.
