Pop Culture Expert Available to Discuss Impact of Seinfeld

There have been beloved television shows before, but none quite like “Seinfeld.” The “show about nothing” has been a ratings juggernaut for almost a decade and its final episode, for which commercial time is more expensive than for the Super Bowl, is one of the most anticipated television events of all time.

Phillip Gay, a San Diego State University professor who specializes in the sociology of popular culture, is available to discuss the issues surrounding “Seinfeld.” Dr. Gay can be reached in his office at (619) 594-7199.
