Today in TV History: A Little Show About "Nothing" Debuted on NBC - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

May 31st, 1990 - The first episode of "Seinfeld" aired on NBC. *

*To say that "Seinfeld" debuted on May 31, 1990, is true but requires an asterisk. That marked the airing of the first of four episodes that marked Season 1.

The actual "Seinfeld" pilot aired nearly a full year earlier, as "The Seinfeld Chronicles," when NBC didn't know what the heck it was going to do with this show about nothing.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!
