I love the show about nothing


I love Christmas for the atmosphere, time off work and of course the killer presents that I get. I was given some great presents. One of those presents was season 9 of Seinfeld. My collection is now complete.


I thought that I would share a couple of my favorite clips from the show.

George is my favorite character. He knows he is a born loser but he he makes it look so funny.
I love when he pretends that he is handicap to get his own bathroom.




Of course I had to add the classic phone message from George







Kramer, when he gets a job in the city when he is not even really employed.




And of course Elaine and her amazing dancing skills.






I love this show and all the characters. There are so many funny clips that I don't have enough time to get them all on here.
I also found some interesting facts about the show.

This is a ratings chart for the last years of the show.

Season Ranking Viewership
Four (1992–93) 25 12,754,700[22]
Five (1993–94) 3 18,274,800[23]
Six (1994–95) 1 19,652,400[24]
Seven (1995–96) 2 20,330,800[25]
Eight (1996–97) 2 19,885,000[26]
Nine (1997–98) 1 21,266,000[27]

The show was very popular and that meant a lot of money for Jerry. I pulled this from Forbes magazine.
Jerry Seinfeld's annual earning from the show in 1998 was $267 million, making him the highest-earning celebrity that year.

Seinfeld still generates more revenue than most current shows, through syndication. He reportedly turned down $5 million per episode, for 22 episodes, to continue the show beyond its final season.[12] In 2006, he earned $60 million from syndication deals and stand-up appearances.

I wish that Jerry would have taken the 5 million a show for a final year. I would love to see another 22 episodes.

Now that I have all 9 seasons my life feels a little more complete. I now have all 180 episodes that I can watch when I want. It was a good Christmas.

This clip is the first episode that I ever watched. Got me hooked.

Whenever I rent a car I think about that line..."give me the insurance because I'm going to beat the hell out of this car!" One of these days I'm going to use that line myself.
