Rolling Stone Cover of Cast of Seinfeld / Rolling Stone Magazine Vol. 787, May 28, 1998, Art Print by Mark Seliger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just the idea of taking the cast of "Seinfeld" and dressing them up as the characters from "The Wizard of Oz" on the Yellow Brick Road sounds good. But Mark Seliger's cover for the May 28, 1998 issue of "Rolling Stone" magazine does a nice job of bringing the obvious stereotyping to life. Working right to left you have Jerry Seinfeld as the Tin Woodman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine "Dorothy Gale (from Kansas)" Benes, Michael Richards as Cosmo "the Scarecrow" Kramer, and Jason Alexander as George "The Cowardly Lion" Costanza (whose oversized right paw bothers me for some reason).
"Seinfeld" was voted the top television series of all time by the editors of "TV Guide" in 2002, beating out "The Honeymooners" and "I Love Lucy," but I shall be interested in seeing what people think a half-century later. After all, Jackie Gleason and Lucille Ball were done in black & white while "Seinfeld" was in color. Just wait until the next generation of situation comedies are being done in holograms or whatever they come up with next to make the current crop of shows look similarly outdated, and then let us see how it stacks up. I never thought "Seinfeld" was as good as "All in the Family," "M*A*S*H," or "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," but then any series that can come up with "The Contest" (November 18, 1992) is never going to be forgotten.
For fans of "Seinfeld" this cover is a keeper, especially if you are looking for a different view of the quartet. But with this deal not only do you get the 15 x 18 inch art print of the cover you also get a dozen issues of "Rolling Stone" magazine. The pop culture coverage in the magazine is obviously a step below that for contemporary music, but there is certainly enough for music fans to keep their hand in with regards to other parts of the pop culture equation. You can read the details above in terms of the math involved here, and, yes, you can be assured that when your free subscription is up they will come make concerted overtures for you to continue getting the magazine, but a dozen issues is certainly enough of a test drive for you to make up your mind.
