When “Seinfeld” went off the air two years ago, the media frenzied around the idea that – gasp – all along it had been a show about nothing, an existential sitcom.

The fun includes “George’s Failed Quest for Happiness: An Aristotelian Analysis,” and “Kramer and Kierkegaard: Stages on Life’s Way.” – Lingua Franca
