‘Seinfeld,’ ‘Friends,’ and ‘ER’ Made For ‘90s Must-See TV
The term “Must See TV” has been used so often that it has almost lost all relevance. Game of Thrones? Must see TV. The Sopranos? Must see TV. Squid Game, Ted Lasso, The Mandalorian? Must see, must see, must see. Yet there was a time not all that long ago where the term wasn’t a…

‘Seinfeld’s Most Annoying Character Isn’t Who You Think It Is
Let’s face it, everyone on Seinfeld is a jerk. Okay, except maybe for Kramer (Michael Richards), he’s just lovably weird. Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) would be insufferable if they existed in real life. Thankfully, they’re just creations, even if George hits a little too close to home to series…
