“BY 2013, SEINFELD WOULD BECOME the most successful show ever in syndication. Networks buy reruns in packages sold in “cycles,” and Seinfeld was the first show in history to get to a fifth cycle, taking its rerun sales through 2017—nearly twenty years since its finale.”
― Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything
― Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything
“It is the story of two men whose sitcom—full of minute observations and despicable characters—snuck through the network system to become a hit that changed TV’s most cherished rules; from then on, antiheroes would rise to prominence, unique voices would invade the airwaves, and the creative forces behind shows would often gain as much power and fame as the faces in front of the cameras. Seinfeld”
― Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything

“Not all New Yorkers embraced it: Locals thought Seinfeld so influential that some, like bohemian artist Penny Arcade, who came up in the city’s downtown scene of the ’70s and ’80s, eventually blamed the show for making the city seem attractive and accommodating to suburbanites who then moved in, gentrifying, chain-restaurantizing, and sanitizing the character right out of Manhattan.”
