What Season 1 of Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld plays a fictionalized version of himself as a comedian who lives in an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He is joined by his best friend George Costanza, his ex-girlfriend Elaine Benes and Cosmo Kramer, his neighbor across the hall. The stories are small: the show focuses on everyday life in New York, from doing laundry to men's uncertainty about what women want when they spend the night with them. Each episode starts from a minor issue. Jerry looks for a woman he met at a party, moves to another apartment after a break-in at his place and avoids an old acquaintance. He also buys stock alongside George.
