What was Seinfeld all about? Hear producer and writer Peter Mehlman’s take on that (no moral lessons, lie and scheme shamelessly, lust, lust lust) in this 90-minute workshop recording. Learn the secrets of a good episode and how Jerry Seinfeld, the star, and Larry David, the co-creator, assembled one of the most successful and long-running (1989-1998) television comedy series ever broadcast.
Peter Mehlman was a writer and held various producer titles during the heyday of Seinfeld. Mehlman’s produced scripts include “The Nose Job,” “The Implant,” and “The Smelly Car.” He went on to executive produce “It’s Like, You Know” and “The Father of the Pride.”
