"No soup for you!" Boy was New York tough to pick, but "Seinfeld" set the bar high for modern sitcoms to follow, moving away from the typical family set-up and toward the "group of friends" format.
It was what viewers wanted television comedy to be — a relatable, lighthearted chronicle of four highly addicting characters, Jerry, George, Elaine, and Cosmo, their day-to-day lives on New York's Upper West Side, and a plot chock-full of some pretty memorable quotes.
Other notable shows we considered: "Friends," "All in the Family," "The Honeymooners," "Cosby Show," "Diff'rent Strokes," and "Sex and the City"
