Is Seinfeld really a show about nothing?

Maybe not. At least not according to Nerdwriter who argues that Seinfeld was one of the first shows of its kind to break out of the traditional sitcom format. And the whole "Seinfeld is a show about nothing" label really stuck around by accident when the idea was introduced on the show itself by Jerry and George. This is a fantastic breakdown of the show's format and how it helped bring on a fresher type of entertainment to television audiences.
