While marketing for Seinfeld focused on the show's aspect of "nothing", it was nothing else. The co-creator of the series, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, built their sitcom from the ground up, with the basis of how a comedian gets its material. Seinfeld even reflects his meta-creating, as one of the flowing sides of the show is Jerry Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld) and George (Jason Alexander) who are trying to set up their NBC series. But for as much as the hitter the Sitom threw the spotlight on the unusual characters and the miraculous scenarios for its inspired stand-up inspired, there were also countless references based on what influenced the creative team of the show. For example, jerryers had a huge fixation of Superman, leading to episodes like "Bizarro Jerry" and the "race" that actively inserted the elements of the desired DC superhero in the plot. Other times, reference points are often manifested as the characters themselves.

In the season three episode entitled "The Library", Jerryryers are in trouble because it has informed the public library in Yorkyork that it is still on the hook for the late taxi of the book he has never returned. He swears he returned his copy of Henry Miller's "Tropical Cancer" back in 1971, but that did not disappoint library investigations, Colonel Oeo Bookman (Philip Baker Hall) from reaching the bottom of things anyway. What could have been a conventional episode about jerryers, trying to find out what happened all those years ago becomes infinitely funnier with a literal book policeman dealing with his case.

Hall was a celebrity actor for characters, whose many guests, besides his work on Paul Thomas Anderson, pictures like "Boogie Nights" and "Magnolia", made it immediately a recognizable figure even if you didn't know his name. He claims that Seinfeld's Bookman's role made people out on the street and tell him they were good and returned their books on time. The appearance of the guests gets stuck in people's heads because, Similar to Leslie Nielsen in "Police Composition!", Hall played directly. His scenes would probably be even more ridiculous without the laughter track.

Bookman is a shooter policeman who is not afraid to tell his delinquent fine avoiders how he really feels about them. He speaks through a controlled cadet on how to practice his monologues ahead of time in the mirror. I always shoot at the moments when Hall begins to move away from jerryers, just to turn right away and turn to the act with the quarrel finger directed at him. If the presentation of Hall subconsciously reminds you of the television chief within the policemen pantheon, then it is because it was deliberate.

In a DVD -SUBJECTSWriter Larry Charles talks about how he was such a fan of "Dragnet" police officers who wanted to include in the body of the Sitcom formula. As he is lucky, he was presented with the opportunity to do so in the "Library" with the Hall's Premiere of Book Premiere:

"I was a big fan of Dragnet. I loved the Jackec web monologues and I wanted to find a way to have a police officer to make such a monologue in the format of Sitcom. "

The way Seinfeld is remembered as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, Dragnet is often considered one of the best plays on television crime. Almost any procedure can be traced back to the radio show has turned into a multimedia franchise that has tackled a number of alleged legitimate investigations with its direct behavior. The first few notes of the unforgettable thematic song indicated that the Jackec web detective would be on Friday the case like a hot dog ketchup. Because, dated as "Dragnet" it is through a modern lens (especially with its more than a flattering image of the Los Angeles Police Department), there is a whole history to get out of how web performance has been going on over the decade. Friday is the kind of police officer that this shiny beacon of moral proceedings by law could potentially be considered comical. By 1987, "Dragnet" received a large adaptation of the screen that was kind of inheritance extension of the original seriesWith a day of icroid as a nephew on Friday à la "naked gun".

Friday was ripe for a parody. Seinfeld has already played the character one season before the "statue", with Kramer (Michael Richards) dressing like him to enter someone's apartment. With the "library", Hall was more than the task. He did a great job to show how he would come across this kind of hard-working law if he was expelled from his time and missed Smac Oak in the 90's. "Well, I have a flash for you, Oyoj Boy," Bookman said funny to the amazed jerryers. It's no wonder that jerryers can hardly keep a straight face in all his scenes with Hall, who never allows the stupidity of a policeman to influence his disposition. It is a loving -oriented parody that respects the material according to its own terms of the show. Needless to say, the detective of the library gives a whole new meaning to reserve. Make sure you care about any arrears in the library, people.
