Seinfeld, the iconic NBC sitcom about friends living in Manhattan, premiered 30 years ago on July 5, 1989. The show ran for nine seasons and spanned 180 episodes, winning 10 Emmys and leaving a lasting impact on audiences and pop culture. The original trio of characters was later expanded to include Elaine, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the show's concept was based on their real-life conversations and stand-up routines. The cast, including Seinfeld, Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards, and Wayne Knight, went on to have successful careers post-Seinfeld.
