Review: Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything
































































Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything


Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an interesting book that anyone who liked the show Seinfeld should enjoy. It goes into the writing and
casting processes. It did feel a bit redundant at times like the editing had missed a story being started in 2 places but it was full of interesting insights and facts about the characters and actors. A good look at home the show influenced modern culture and tv. It’s amazing g it has been off the air for over 25 years already.

I found this book very interesting particularly since I lived in NYC in the early 90s   In fact, I frequented the real Tom's Restaurant while a student and just out of college as I lived just down the block from the diner.  My husband's first NY apartment was a block away from Jerry's fictitious one.  Like any show set in NYC all true New Yorkers know how fictitious  the apartments are compared to reality.  It is not uncommon for recent grads to have 4 grads in a 3 bedroom where a portion of the Living room is walled off to create a 4 bedroom - without an actual closet.  But living in NYC is definitely a unique and memorable experience.
