简介:本剧集被评为“21世纪最伟大的剧集”,由Jerry Seinfeld和Larry David共同创意,1989年至1998年在NBC播出,总共180集。《宋飞正传》以纽约为背景,主要人物包括由Jerry Seinfeld本人饰演的喜剧演员“宋飞”Seinfeld、他的多年老友George(杰森·亚历山大 Jason Alexander 饰)、以及前女友Elaine(茱莉亚·路易斯-德瑞弗斯 Julia Louis-Dreyfus 饰)和对门邻居Kramer(迈克尔·理查兹 Michael Richards 饰)。《宋飞正传》与其它情景喜剧最大的区别在于它是"A show about NOTHING",没有主题,没有主线。每集故事自成一体,主要情节即是四位主要人物的日常生活、工作、异性关系等等,笑料也在这其中铺设。然而这样一部about nothing的情景喜剧,却在播出之后立即得到了评论界和观众的一致好评与喜爱,收视率连年居高。2002年美国权威电视杂志《TV GUIDE》组织的"50 Greatest Shows of All Time"评选中,本剧排在第一位,而George和Kramer则名列"TV's Greatest Characters"。

However, there are no gangs, no guns, no drugs but instead a lyrical story that draws on folklore and the supernatural.family tensions are already simmering when Harry (Danny Glover) arrives to visit his old friends. He exudes an easy charm, knows secret past and present and is soon installed in the heart of the family. However, as his stay lengthens, so does he begin to cast an even more malevolent spell, provoking turmoil, setting son against son, reviving past hatreds, and inflicting a mysterious illness.Glover delivers a career-topping performance as the garrulous family friend, full of hidden menace, effortlessly evoking nostalgia and horror in the same breath.As ever, Burnett provides a wonderful music track featuring gospel, blues and jazz and a cameo from the legendary Jimmy Weatherspoon.'A slow-burning, soul-insinuating, 12-bar blues of a movie.' Tom Charity, Time Out'Danny Glover is marvellous, and terrifying, as a charismatic old-timer.' The Times(from the description on the back cover of the DVD)
