Seinfeld, the "show about nothing," gradually grew into an enormous hit and was the archetypal friends-hanging-out series of the 1990s. Most stories were about life's trivia, waiting in line, forgetting where your car is parked, throwing away someone's prized TV Guide. Seen once in a while were Jerry's parents, Helen and Morty, George's folks, Estelle and Frank (who were as neurotic as he was), and Newman, an overweight mailman who lived in the building.
