During its nine-year run, 180 episodes of Seinfeld were produced.
The first season is considered the smallest sitcom order in television history. However, NBC executive Rick Ludwin believed the series had potential and therefore gave Seinfeld a budget to create four more episodes, which formed the rest of season 1 and began airing on May 31, 1990. The pilot episode was met with poor reviews, and as a result, NBC passed on the show.
The series debuted on July 5, 1989, on NBC, as The Seinfeld Chronicles. Set predominantly in an apartment block on New York City's Upper West Side, the show features a host of Jerry's friends and acquaintances, which include George Costanza, Elaine Benes, and Cosmo Kramer, who are portrayed by Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards, respectively. Jerry Seinfeld is the lead character and played as a fictionalized version of himself.
Seinfeld has been described by some as a "show about nothing", similar to the self-parodying "show within a show" of fourth-season episode " The Pilot". Seinfeld is an American television sitcom created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.
