It was on this day in 1991 a television show was first broadcast on NBC. While I am not a big fan of it, I have seen my share of episodes and it still has a major cult fan base. From Cosmo to George, Elaine to Jerry.

Jerry – “He’s talking about Seinfeld!”

George – “There is NO WAY he is talking about us!”

Jerry – “But the title suggests he is”

George – “It could be a rouse”.

Kramer – “He’s got a point Jer”

Elaine – “How can it be a rouse? George, you are stupid. Everything points to him talking about us”.

Jerry – “OK. Maybe it can be a rouse. But it SOUNDS like he’s talking about us. ”

George – “I think he’s talking about us and I don’t want to be a part of that punchline. I’M OUTTA HERE”.

pause…

Kramer – “Do you really think he’s not talking about us Jerry?”

Jerry – “Of course he’s talking about us! George is just going on one of his tirades once again. After all, why WOULDN’T he wan’t to talk about us?”

pause…

Kramer – “You got a point there, Jer”.

The first Series episode of “Seinfeld” aired on January 23rd, 1991. Now you might say “Hey! Wait a minute! Seinfeld has been around a lot longer than that!” – and you are right. Seinfeld Technically started in 1989 as “the Seinfeld Chronicles”. The series officially got a timeslot on the 23rd after NBC’s popular show “Night Court”. The show was suppose to air on January 21st, but the Persian Gulf War was to start that day, so execs decided to push the show back a couple days.

Seinfeld went 9 seasons and 180 episodes before it’s last hurrah on May 14th 1998.

So to this milestone, we say “Good job Seinfeld”.

It’s a new twist to the classic question – “Mac or PC?” This video doesn’t have John Hodgeman or Justin Long, but it does put a new twist to the now “Cult” commercial.

I’ve seen it parodied many times, even seen the Southpark and DC vs Marvel versions. But this video takes the crown. It would be one that Weird Al might be proud of.

So sit back and relax to the beat, as he’s a right clicka, he’s an iBook flippa.
