Trivia:

Larry David was the original voice of Newman in "The Revenge," but Wayne Knight overdubbed the voice for syndication.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In common with many other sitcoms, details of characters' back-histories change through the life of the series. We don't count these inconsistencies as goofs in long-running shows.

Quotes:

Newman: I propose... AN ALLIANCE.
Jerry: An alliance?... Deal.
[Jerry and Newman share an evil laugh]
Jerry: [stops laughing abruptly] Now, get the hell out of here.

Recent worthless sitcoms just don't compare with this.

"Seinfeld" is without a doubt the last great sitcom ever. Since then, all these worthless sitcoms just don't compare with this. Hell, even the actors who were in this are having trouble making a comeback. But, "Seinfeld" was great while it lasted. The premise was simple: a show about nothing. With it's hilarious characters and situations, this could be the best show ever. Each main character had something to add to the mix. And now Cosmo Kramer may very well be the most recognizable character in television history! It's too bad that "Seinfeld" ended it's course, but the last episode rocked!! I'm going to look for the DVD, if there is one. Anyway, "Seinfeld" rightly deserves a 10 out of 10.
