Question: My husband and I ...

Question: My husband and I watched Seinfeld religiously until it went off the air. My question concerns the song that was played during the final montage show. I think it was written specifically for the show and he says no. We don't have a bet but I would like to show him I'm right! (I won't show him the column if I'm wrong). — Tina Bilodeau

Televisionary: OK, Tina. You're absolutely right. The song was written specifically for the Seinfeld montage, so you can show this to your husband.

You might want to hold your hand over this part of the monitor when you do, though, because the preceding statement is a lie. Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," which is from the band's Nimrod album, is perhaps one of the most overplayed ditties to hit the small screen in recent memory, outdone only by Paula Cole's "I Don't Want to Wait" (used as the theme song for Dawson's Creek).

"Time of Your Life" not only served as inspiration for the title of Fox's mercifully canceled, egregious Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicle, but it's also appeared on ER and, undoubtedly, in many a graduation ceremony near you.
