“It’s about nothing”*…

Seinfeld, which originally aired on NBC from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998 (for a total of 180 episodes over nine seasons) ruled the airwaves during the 90s. Its reign continued, first in syndication, then streaming, and hold sway to this day. The series won all of the major awards for which it was eligible (a few, several times over) and is universally regarded as one of the greatest and most influential American shows of all time. Quotes from several of its episodes have become catchphrases in popular culture.

Most of us know Seinfeld, but not all of us… and even those if us who do, have more to learn. Andy Kirk is here to help…

I was intrigued by the possibilities of mixing work with pleasure: visually exploring a sitcom through its data.

Intrigued became compelled. I wanted to explore how Seinfeld and David, with the support of their evolving pool of talented writers, managed to achieve such sustained sitcom brilliance. Much like a sports coach seeks to assemble the right players in the right combinations, to win a game, how did the Seinfeld ‘coaching team’ use their resources to assemble the right characters in the right scenes, in order to score the laughs and create TV gold?

And so began a self-motivated, long-running, entirely unnecessary, data-driven exploration of every episode of Seinfeld.

The first product of this work was my 2020 publishing of The Seinfeld Chronicles, a limited-edition printed book presenting all my extensive analysis. With 176 copies released, matching the number of written episodes, this reached a small but exclusive, passionate, and generous audience.

A few years later, I decided it was time to revisit this work and develop a new format that could reach a wider audience…

A trove of insight into a epoch-defining sit-com and a glorious example of data visualization: “The Seinfeld Chronicles: Digital Edition,” from @visualisingdata.com.

As we codify comedy, we might recall (on this, National Junk Food Day) that it was on this date in 1988 that The New York Yankees traded Jay Buhner (along with minor leaguers Rich Balabon and Troy Evers) to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for 33-year-old first basemen and designated hitter Ken Phelps– widely considered one of the most lopsided deals in MLB history. While Phelps had a brief, productive stint in New York before being traded again, Buhner became a fan favorite and a legend in Seattle. Over his 14 seasons with the Mariners, he hit 310 home runs and was a key piece of the team that reached the ALCS in 1995, 1997, and 2000. He was inducted into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame in 2004.

In Seinfeld‘s seventh season episode “The Caddy,” Yankee’s owner George Steinbrenner (voiced by Larry David) visits George’s parents to (mistakenly) inform them that their son is dead. While George’s mother tears up, George’s father Frank (Jerry Stiller) responds…

Out and about(sp?) running errands this afternoon and can already see signs of the impending weekend Canuckian invasion.

Saw a few groups of forward scouts/Toronto Blue Jays fans malingering about the neighborhood in advance of this weekend's baseball games.

It a couple times for it to click as to why so many Blue Jay fans were piling out of over-sized clown cars at different places.😆

While visiting Seattle to cheer on Team Australia in the FIFA men’s World Cup, many soccer fans took the opportunity to enjoy a far less expensive sporting event: a midweek, daytime baseball game.

Seattle in het kort: Een auto zo groot als een flat, drie stadions en één minuut stadiongeluk dankzij een halfopen deur. Soms is dat genoeg om een hele stad te voelen.

First the Mariners come within a game of reaching their first World Series. Now, the Seattle Seahawks are the top seed in the National Football Conference (NFC) and favored to win their second ever Super Bowl.
But are Seattle sports fans getting their hopes up only to have them dashed by yet another decade of heartache and disappointment?

Shit. Damn. The #Mariners came so close. Next year is our year! #seattlemariners #seattle #washingtonstate

Crushing, late, one-run loss in Game 7 for the Seattle fans. I truly feel for them, pretty much as close as you can get…. But the Blue Jays earned this victory. ⚾️ 🔵⚪️ #MLB #ALCS #GameSeven #GameSevens #ALCSGameSeven #Seattle #SeattleMariners #TorontoBlueJays #Toronto

Oof.

I wondered why they wouldn’t intentionally walk Springer there, give themselves force-out/double-play options. They didn’t… and the outcome was very, very bad for Seattle. ⚾️ #MLB #ALCS #GameSeven #GameSevens #ALCSGameSeven #Seattle #SeattleMariners #TorontoBlueJays #Toronto

A long day in meatspace full of doctor's appointments. Figure I'll just chill out tonight with Game 7 of the #MLB playoffs. *sigh*

Growing up I was never a #mlb #baseball fan. I never got it; I never understood what made the strategy, pitching and fielding so exciting - you know, the boring stuff.

The movie #moneyball helped explain a lot of the nuance to me. i got it.

A week later, just because I heard the jays were "doing well", I tuned in just in time for "that inning" - game 5, 2015 ALDs:
