The Invitations (1996)

(1995-1996) Another season in the legendary sitcom about nothing. Inspired by Jerry Seinfeld’s stand-up comedy, the premise was simple -- the everyday little nothings in the life of stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld (played by Jerry Seinfeld), his neurotic childhood buddy George Costanza (Jason Alexander), gal-pal Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and unemployed, eternally wired neighbor Kramer (Michael Richards), and the way they manage to escalate nothing into disaster. Repeatedly. Highlights this season include classic episodes "The Soup Nazi," "The Sponge," "The Cadillac" (with guest star Janeane Garofalo), and George’s engagement to Susan (Heidi Swedberg) in the opener "The Engagement," which ends with the strangely fatal season finale "The Invitations." Other guest stars include Marisa Tomei, Debra Messing, Rob Schneider, and Larry David. The episodes, restored to original broadcast, run longer than the versions edited for syndication.
