Would you like to feel old? 2009 is the twenty-year anniversary of Seinfeld's premiere on NBC. It makes me feel like an old, old man. In honor of this anniversary (And because, you know, lists are fun. Everyone loves a list.), we at BuddyTV have decided to count down the 100 greatest TV shows of the past twenty years. This is not a task to be taken lightly. Rules had to be made, beloved series had to be cut, and a mission statement had to be created to figure out exactly what we mean by 100 Best Shows. Over the next four days, we will be publishing the list in installments. We hope you enjoy. Feel free to argue all you want in the comment section below.

Before we get started, here are the rules I set down before creating the epic list of lists:

Based on Soup Kitchen International, the Soup Nazi's restaurant on Seinfeld was the best place to get the most delicious soup. At just $3.99 for 32 ounces of mouth-watering Mulligatawny, Crab Bisque or Jambalaya, it's the ideal place to eat. Just be sure not to tick off the man behind the counter.

'Seinfeld' Actor Becomes a 'Criminal'

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Last week, we reported that Jason Alexander will be returning to primetime comedy to work on Til Death. Unfortunately, he won't be showing off his acting skills as he'll be going behind the cameras for an episode of the FOX sitcom. On the other hand, it looks like we'll be seeing the 48-year-old actor on our small screens after all since he just signed on to guest star on CBS' Criminal Minds.

Best known for his role as George Costanza on the hit eponymous series Seinfeld, Jason Alexander has since appeared on a number of TV roles such as Al Harris on Dinosaurs, Tony Kleinman on the CBS sitcom Listen Up! and the title character on the heavily promoted but short-lived ABC sitcom Bob Patterson. On the big screen, he is credited for How to Go Out on a Date in Queens, The Grand, Pretty Woman, For Better or Worse, and The Last Supper.

Warning: Minor spoilers ahead.

'Seinfeld' Actor Goes Behind the Cameras for 'Til Death'

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Jason Alexander, best known for his role as George Costanza on the hit eponymous series Seinfeld, will soon be making his way back to primetime comedy. This time, however, he'll be going behind the camera for an episode of Til Death.

Written and executive-produced by husband-and-wife team Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, Til Death stars Eddie Kaye Thomas and newcomer actress Kat Foster as newlyweds who move next door to a couple, played by Brad Garrett and Joely Fisher, who have been married for more than two decades. The series sheds light on how the newlyweds get a surprising look at what the future might hold.

Alternative Holiday Face-Off - Festivus vs. Chrismukkah

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 19:46:32 GMT

The holiday season is different for everyone. What you and your family celebrates might have a long tradition, or might have no tradition, or maybe it's ever evolving. The correlation between religious beliefs and holiday rituals has become more and more blurred as commercialization has permeated the holiday landscape. Mostly, there is a lot of gift-giving, a lot of shopping, office parties, excess drinking, and time with the family (sometimes needed, sometimes unwanted). On television, there are two brave TV shows that have chosen to buck the conventional rituals and traditions of Christmas and the schmaltzy “holiday episodes” that every single eighties sitcom aired once a year. On The OC, Seth Cohen gave us Chrismukkah and on Seinfeld, Frank Costanza brought us Festivus. Today, once and for all, we look to answer the question that has plagued our society for roughly five years: Which is the better TV holiday – Festivus or Chrismukkah?

Best known as the short and stocky character George Costanza, Jason Alexander became a household name as one of the main cast members of the award-winning sitcom Seinfeld. As the best friend of Jerry Seinfeld, he gave humor to the show with his neurotic and self-loathing persona, not to mention his pursuit of countless jobs and women.
