The Seinfeld Scripts Book

Seinfeld was described as "the defining sitcom of our age" by Entertainment Weekly, and to the legions of diehards who tune in and turn on to this cult Classic--no matter what time of day or night the powers-that-be choose to screen it--this unique, quirky and, frankly, funniest-show-on-the-box-ever looks likely to remain, for eternity, the best. The joy of Seinfeld, and perhaps the mystery of its success, is that really it is about nothing at all. Zilch. Just four friends, each with their own well defined and totally neurotic characteristics unashamedly on show, doing the best they can and somehow managing to turn even the most mundane of tasks or conversations into an epic kitchen-sink drama that brings everything sharply into perspective. The next best thing to trying to track the series down in the TV listings is this complete collection of scripts from the show, dating back to the pilot episode and continuing through to the last scene of the second season. Classic episodes such as "The Pony Remark", which sees Jerry convincing himself that a chance encounter caused a Polish woman's death, and "The Chinese Restaurant", where Jerry, George and Elaine wait for a table at a restaurant, are all there alongside 15 other raucous scripts that will leave you with the Pythonesque urge to bore your friends with impromptu recitals of other unforgettable moments. Pure magic and pure genius combined. What more could you ask? --Susan HarrisonRead More
