On today's episode Tim and Michael will be discussing German Unification as a major event of 1990, why it was important, and how its effects still resonate today.

    Episode 8 -- There's Just Something About Seinfeld

    In this episode Michael and Tim will be discussing one of the most popular television shows of the 90s (and of all time)...Seinfeld! Seinfeld was an enormously popular show that had its first season in 1990 and ran for almost the entire decade for a total of nine seasons. The show was well written and innovative and often topical. While in some ways, Seinfeld is a product of its time, it still seems fresh, and still makes you laugh today as it can be seen in syndication almost everywhere. Can Seinfeld tell us anything about the trajectory of American culture during the 90s? We think so, and today we decided to sit down and talk about it. We think you'll enjoy this episode where we explore the different ways that this important television show can teach us something about the history of the 90's!
