  • This created the opportunities for expanding the narrative and cinematographic possibilities we’ve seen since.
  • Seinfeld was a forerunner of the cinematic television we watch today.
  • Seinfeld tackled a host of then-taboo topics, which were part of everyday life, including antisemitism, same-gender relationships and masturbation.
  • The show generated billions of dollars in revenue, making NBC US$150 million (about £93 million) a year at its peak.
