Seinfeld: 8 Funny Scenes

Seinfeld (originally called The Seinfeld Chronicles) is an American television sitcom that originally ran for nine seasons on NBC from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998. It was created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the latter starring as a fictionalized version of himself. Set predominantly in an apartment in Manhattan's Upper West Side in New York City, the show features Jerry's friends, particularly best friend George Costanza (Jason Alexander), former girlfriend Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and neighbor across the hall Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards).

In 2002, TV Guide named Seinfeld the greatest television program of all time. Many Seinfeld episodes are based on the writers' real-life experiences, with the experiences re-interpreted for the characters' storyline. For example, George's storyline, "The Revenge", is based on Larry David's experience at Saturday Night Live. "The Contest" is also based on David's experiences. "The Smelly Car", storyline, is based on Peter Mehlman's lawyer friend, who could not get a bad smell out of his car. "The Strike" is based on Dan O'Keefe's dad, who made up his own holiday—Festivus. Some stories were inspired by headlines and rumors. In "The Maestro", Kramer's lawsuit is roughly similar to the McDonald's coffee case. "The Outing" is based primarily on rumors that Larry Charles heard about Jerry Seinfeld's sexuality.

FAME Original Movie Trailer and Theme Song 1982

Have you ever remembered a television show fondly? Thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, then watched it several years later, only to discover that it didn’t stand the test of time? That happened to me recently. I was a huge fan of “Fame”. My little heart went pitter-patter whenever those show stopping musicals came on at the end. Well, I recently sat down to watch a “Fame” marathon. . . I made it through the first one. By the second one I wanted to shove a pencil in my ear. It was a sad, sad day. But I still love the opening.

Star Search Debut - 1983

Star Search was an American television show that was produced from 1983–95, and hosted by Ed McMahon. The show's contestants competed in several genres of entertainment. On the championship show, winners of Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist, Vocal Group, Comedy, and Dance, are awarded $100,000 but unlike American Idol, no record contract was guaranteed. Many Star Search winners from the early seasons secured recording contracts within a few weeks of the end of the competition – first season vocal group winner Sawyer Brown, first season male vocalist champion Sam Harris and second season male vocalist champion Durell Coleman were the first three. The winner of the Spokesmodel category is awarded $100,000 and a contract with a well-known modeling agency. The first Spokesmodel winner was Tracey Ross, who later became a leading actress on the soap opera Passions.
