It's exactly what the name implies - Jerry gets coffee with comedians and each 15ish minute episode captures their time together.
I love this because it combines two of the things that make me happiest - laughing and having deep, honest conversation.
I love it because in the midst of the jokes and the breakfasts there is this moving dialogue about shared experience and shared passion. I love when Jerry meets with his pal Michael Richards (aka Kramer) and Richards looks back on his time on Seinfeld and wonders if he should have been more selfless in his career, and if his job was really more about doing for other people than doing for himself.
I love it because it reminds me of the freedom and the leisure and the intimacy of grabbing a cup of coffee with someone who knows you and understands you. It's a beautiful thing. And often, in a way that makes it even sweeter, it's hysterical as well.
