What is Seinfeld?

Let’s talk about American TV’s most lucrative sitcom ever, a show which generated over $3bn. To give you some more numbers, it lasted 9 years from 1989 through to 1998, taking in 9 seasons and 180 twenty-three minute episodes. A 2012 poll by Vanity Fair magazine declared Seinfeld the best sitcom of all time, but in Europe, it has never managed to match the success and popularity of other American sitcoms like Friends or How I met your mother.

So what’s the show about? Why is it such a cult hit? Why didn’t Seinfeld succeed outside of the United States? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
