It was about four single people living in New York City.

Basically, no show can air every week and be successful if it was about NOTHING

If you watch the early episodes of Seinfeld, there were a few that were about nothing. The Chinese Restaurant, The Parking Garage were really about nothing. Jerry, Elaine and George at a Chinese Restaurant, and the four of them in a parking garage. That was basically it about each episode.

A lot of the episodes were focused on ordinary everyday things instead of a big problem or something.

Love the show, but they really overstated it being about nothing, kind of gets annoying hearing it in every commercial for the show. (Take a note TBS)

I thought it was interesting how in the last episode, they went to jail for doing nothing.
