Back in 1989, when comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David had a test screening of their new sitcom, the response was not positive. They called it “too New York,” and weren’t laughing at the humor that Seinfeld found in everyday life. NBC ordered just four episodes of the show in the beginning, later boosting it to a season. And now, years later, Seinfeld is not only one of the best sitcoms of all time, it’s one of the best television shows of all time.
