This site comes to you via my friend Jack. If you’re a Seinfeld fan as so many are, then you should love this site. And even if you never really were a fan, I believe you would have to admit it’s amazing the impact this show continues to have on our culture 25 years after the pilot episode aired.

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee
http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/

Just over one year ago, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee was featured as a ‘Site of the Week’. Each unscripted episode features Jerry meeting up with a fellow comedian for a drive–usually in a classic car–and coffee. If you haven’t watched it yet, I recommend it. Season 4 just began June 19. Sarah Jessica Parker was guest star and frankly I was surprised at how enjoyable the episode was.
