One of my earliest TV memories is of the Seinfeld finale. I grew up watching the show in syndication, and in high school worked at an ice cream store so I could afford the DVD sets of all nine seasons as they were released. The end of "The Marine Biologist" makes me cry because it's so perfectly constructed—the platonic ideal of a half-hour, four-story comedy program. I've eaten many times at the diner in Morningside Heights that features prominently in the sitcom. I'm not saying I'd win a Seinfeld trivia event, but I'd probably do better than most of you. Seinfeld squad shirt.

And yet, for all the minutiae I've retained about a show that piloted the year I was born and hasn't been on the air for 20 years, there's one seemingly basic fact I still don't know about it. Actually, it's so elementary that I was recently shocked upon realizing that it wasn't in my repertoire.

Growing up, I always assumed the core four Seinfeld characters were in their 30s or 40s—age ranges which I considered ancient, though now I recognize them as distinct phases of life. But as I've approached the floor of those ages myself, George, Jerry, Kramer, and Elaine still seem impossibly old. One Redditor described the phenomenon earlier this year: "no matter how hard I try to imagine it they will always appear 20 years older than me." What was up? Did the fact that bald-ass Jason Alexander was 29 years old when the pilot first aired lend the show's universe a certain chaotic energy that threw everything off? Did the characters have a static age, or were they written to always seem slightly older than the person viewing it, kind of like how the Mona Lisa was painted to always be looking at you no matter where you viewed it from? Is that even possible? I'm 29, and Kleiger is a little younger than that. We started comparing notes. It was pretty realistic that Elaine would live with a roommate toward the beginning of the show if she was in her 20s, she said. But it was weird, I pointed out, that she never went out to parties or bars. Who is too old to go out but not old enough to live alone, even in New York? "All the woes and troubles that they have are so different from what you would expect someone in their 30s to be dealing with in New York
