About Seinfeld:
Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

    no it isnt. it suggests that all outcomes are binary. and they aren't. many outcomes in fact are indeed singular. for example, if you are a short balding chubby guy - you doing the OPPOSITE and approaching a beautiful woman somewhere will in fact net you the same result as if you didnt do anything which is: she's not interested in you. only you will have the embarrassment for trying on top of it and the assurance that comes along with it that you shouldnt be trying in the first place.

    He actually modeled him after Larry David. Woody Allen was the initial basis but then he realized how much of Larry David was in George. There is an interview where he talks about doing a table read and saying to Larry "there is no way this would ever happen to a person and even if it did this isn't how a person would react in this situation." Larry responded "what are you talking about? Thus happened to me and thus is exactly what I did." Once he found out about that it clicked.

    I always found Jerry's acting horrible. It's what ruined the show for me. He looked like the director who gave himself an affirmative-action job in order to be a part of history. Not to mention there was never any depth to his character. Jerry's good at writing jokes and he should've stuck at that. I feel the same at that Curb Your Enthusiasm guy, by the way. A writer who AA'd himself into acting and ended up doing a terrible job of it.

    The whole "the opposite" thing is not entirely wrong. Though probably not for just being the opposite. It's more to do with taking chances, thus greater amount of negative AND positive results. Also the lack of caring, the lack of being obviously desperate (women or job), does help with how they perceive you and give you an air of winner.
