The series grew from the free-association <font color="blue">monologues</font> of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who in partnership with producer Larry David launched the program in a limited-run format beginning May 31, 1990. <font color="blue">Slowly but surely</font>, the series developed a <font color="blue">rabid</font> fan following, and by the time the 1993-1994 season <font color="blue">rolled around</font>, Seinfeld was America's third most popular program, reaching the number one slot the following year and never dropping below second place for the duration of its run. The <font color="blue">eponymous</font> star played "himself," a young, unmarried comedian named Jerry Seinfeld who lived in a medium-sized apartment (well stocked with breakfast cereals) in midtown Manhattan. However, we seldom saw Jerry at work. Most of the time, he hung out with his three best friends: the <font color="blue">obnoxiously neurotic</font> and <font color="blue">self-absorbed</font> George Costanza (Jason Alexander), who lived with his parents, Estelle and Frank (Estelle Harris, Jerry Stiller), who was for several years employed in the office of New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner (who never appeared on-camera), and who spent much of his spare time <font color="blue">kvetching</font> over his miserable love life; Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards), wild-eyed, wild-haired <font color="blue">entrepreneur</font>, whose many <font color="blue">get-rich-quick schemes</font> had a tendency to <font color="blue">backfire</font> disastrously; and Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Jerry's onetime girlfriend, who worked in the publishing industry and was ever on the lookout for a male companion who was truly "sponge-worthy." <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Expressions:</span><br /><br /><br />Comments, Questions, Praise, Shout-outs...<br /><li><a href="javascript:HaloScan('MrGregTeacher');"rel="self">Post-it Board</a></li><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7317430990404447427-1222576752547669094?l=mrgregteacher.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>comatosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08450603571934078914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317430990404447427.post-36497111617327399192008-07-25T15:08:00.001+09:002008-07-25T15:13:19.046+09:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7576734@N02/2200110791/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2092/2200110791_fde10f0ee2.jpg?v=0" width="400"></a><br />Title: Philip Morris - An Ounce of Prevention<br />Photo by: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7576734@N02/2200110791/">stevesobczuk@rogers.com</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Class Date:</span> July 25, 2008<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Theme: </span> And On They Go...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Topics Covered:</span><br />-Presentation tips<br />-Presentation critique and feedback<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Activity:</span><br />-Student presentations: Depression, How to Save Energy, <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Homework: </span><br />-None!
