Comedian Jerry Seinfeld proposed to NBC to make a TV show about nothing, which actually became an episode in the hit series Seinfeld. The show was created y Jery Seinfeld and Larry David and was aired through the network CBS. The show is really about nothing but Jerry Seinfled's life as a comedian and his ironic encounters that take place throughout the show.
Hilliard says, "There must be a peg on which to hang a show. You must develop a clear central theme, capable of being organized into a sound structure, with a unity that holds all parts together" (324).
I do not know if Jerry Seinfelds life is really this amusing and ironic, but there is no central them to this show. There is no back bone so to say, just daily encounters and insight into Jerry's Life in New York City.
