About this listen
Comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld never thought anyone would watch their silly little sitcom about a New York comedian sitting around talking to his friends. NBC executives didn't think anyone would watch either, but they bought it anyway, hiding it away in the TV dead zone of summer. But against all odds, viewers began to watch, first a few and then many, until nine years later nearly 40 million Americans were tuning in weekly.
In Seinfeldia, acclaimed TV historian and entertainment writer Jennifer Keishin Armstrong celebrates the creators and fans of this American television phenomenon. She brings listeners behind the scenes of the show while it was on the air and into the world of devotees for whom it never stopped being relevant, a world where the Soup Nazi still spends his days saying, "No soup for you!", Joe Davola gets questioned every day about his sanity, Kenny Kramer makes his living giving tours of New York sights from the show, and fans dress up in Jerry's famous puffy shirt, dance like Elaine, and imagine plotlines for Seinfeld if it were still on TV.

Review
The book was interesting to know more behind the scene of filming the show Seinfeld.
I did not like the narration, was flat and did not need to try to sound like Larry David voice. Was awful.

Helloooooooo!
I listened to this entire book in one day. I love this show so much, I watch reruns on TV all the time and still find it completely relatable.
I enjoyed hearing the stories of how it got started, and how it was in the writing room and on set. I also thought the final few chapters that covered its impact long after being taken off the air was cool as well.
This book is more for just the fans, if you are interested in TV trivia and the process of getting a show developed and the writing room structure and all that I think you'd still take something away from this book.
SERENITY NOW!!!!
