Each episode of Seinfeld, created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, consisted of roughly 20 minutes of screen time, and it mostly featured the same four recurring characters: Jerry (Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), Kramer (Michael Richards), and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus).

After screening a few episodes for your enjoment, actor-filmmaker Peter Josyph will lead a lively discussion on these topics.
