About this title

Review:

Seinfeld is more than just a TV show, and David Wild's tribute is more than just an episode guide. As he states in his introduction, "...for me, Seinfeld is one of those rare redeemers of popular culture; like Sinatra, pasta, or the Beatles, Seinfeld shows that sometimes the masses get things exactly right." Woven around Wild's brief and opinionated summaries of 164 episodes are trivia quizzes, a history of the show's development, a review of the real Soup Nazi's restaurant, and most interesting of all, comments from many of the guest stars who have appeared in Seinfeld. Even George Steinbrenner makes an appearance and he reveals why his much anticipated guest appearance was cut from the show. Many TV and movie tie-in titles feel rushed and opportunistic, but Seinfeld: The Totally Unauthorized Tribute is clearly the work of a real fan, and it's a lot of fun. Favorite fact? Jason Alexander and Holly Hunter made their first movie appearances in the same film. - Simon Leake
