Characters didn’t grow, and showed no real moral compass in situations. It eschewed sentimentality, with the mantra of “no hugging, no learning” applied to each episode. “Seinfeld” broke the mold in focusing on the mundanity of life as opposed to plot contrivances. The wide variety of oddball side players, including numerous girlfriends, boyfriends, relatives, bosses and enemies, are often entangled in their schemes and machinations. Self-centered, back-biting and inconsiderate, these merry misfits were made for each other. Though Jerry was front-and-center, “Seinfeld” succeeded thanks to its supporting cast: best friend and ne’er do well George Costanza ( Jason Alexander), former girlfriend Elaine Benes ( Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and wacky neighbor Kramer ( Michael Richards). In honor of its 30th anniversary, let’s take a look back at 30 of its greatest episodes, ranked worst to best.

Yet momentum continued to gain, and soon the series was dominating the ratings, collecting Emmys and entering the cultural lexicon with its popular catchphrases. The self-proclaimed “show about nothing,” rebranded as “Seinfeld” when its remaining four first season episodes finally aired almost a year later in 1990, was championed by critics and ignored by audiences. Created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, it centered on the mundane life of a standup comedian and his eccentric friends.

On July 5, 1989, “The Seinfeld Chronicles” premiered with a whimper on NBC.
