This is an episoe list of the American sitcom Seinfeld, created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. Seinfeld was a "show about nothing", similar to the self-parodying "show within a show" of fourth season episodes "The Pilot, Part 1" and "Part 2". Jerry Seinfeld was the lead character and played as a fictionalized version of himself. 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.
