THE STORY ABOUT NOTHING

In theory, the television series Seinfeld was a television show about nothing.  In theory, none of the episodes of Seinfeld was allowed to have a plot because the show was supposed to be about a bunch of people doing nothing.  Gentle Reader, don't believe the inaccuracy.  The television show Seinfeld is a television show about something.  In truth, most of the episodes of Seinfeld was about one of four permanent central cast members inability to land a date with a member of the opposite gender whether it was losing a fiance to cheap envelop glue to weird romance killing hangups.  None of the four permanent central cast members was allowed to truly fall in love.  If Jerry Seinfeld's idea for his television show Seinfeld was doing a show about doing nothing involves ruining a perfect chance to fall in love, then he accomplished such a goal with his television show.  If Jerry Seinfeld's idea for his television show Seinfeld was doing a show about nothing involves nobody doing anything, then he never really accomplished such a goal.  In truth, a television show about nothing will never work.  That's because all forms of fiction needs to have a plot and a storyline.  Otherwise, you'll just have minimalism and stagnation. 
As I'm lost in thought about television shows about nothing, here are some photos of television and film actress Charisma Carpenter.  Charisma Carpenter has done two television shows about something entitled Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel (Not to be confused with the television show with a similar name and also with a Hispanic born lead Dark Angel).
