In 1990, “Seinfeld”, TV Comedy, starring Jerry Seinfeld, premieres as a summer series on NBC as “The Seinfeld Chronicles”. It was seen as a pilot the previous July and returned as a series in January 1991. After this show premiered, sitcoms never were the same. Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards and Julia Louis-Dreyfus star. The sitcom ended its run in May 1998 — leaving us with such catch phrases as “no soup for you,” “yadda yadda yadda” and “master of your own domain.” On tonightʹs show, George and whats-his-name stakeout the lobby of a woman they met at a birthday party.

In 1998, “The Larry Sanders Show”. “Weʹre a superstar short,” Larry grouses as he reviews the guest list for his final show. Kevin Costner has dropped out because he slipped and fell during the filming of his new, entirely on-ice movie. Someone suggests David Duchovny, but Larry winces. In the past, Duchovny has been so alarmingly tender to Larry offstage that…the host shudders to think. But after several humiliating turndowns, Larry warily phones the X-Files star. “Meet me at the Bel-Air Hotel,” the exquisitely ambiguous Duchovny says. Larry, agonizing between his craven need to seem important on TV and a raging homosexual panic, drags himself to Duchovnyʹs hotel room. Duchovny greets him wearing only a bathrobe. As Larry makes his pitch, Duchovny crosses his legs. Was that — no, impossible. He recrosses his legs. Could that have been — no way. Then his legs part again, wider than ever, and Larryʹs eyes pop as the battle between his basic instincts goes nuclear.
