The Mango Another great one. Elaine reveals she faked her orgasms with Jerry. George becomes impotent. Kramer tries to return used fruit.
I didn't really want to go through all 7 pages so I'm sure someone already mentioned this one. "I was in the pool!"
This philosopher's rockin'. One of the all time favorites. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ZZ13_vMXyCk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Watching the worst episode I've ever seen. It's called The Statue, originally aired 4/11/91. Only good for the last 5 minutes. Other than that, awful.
The Pledge Drive is a great one with the high talker and Danny Tartabull. I said a long time ago that I liked the one with Izzy Mandelbaun (making his first appearance) and that still is a fav but my all-time favorite is probably The Soup Nazi which I know is not an original choice. However, there are very few Seinfeld episodes I don't like.
I went back and looked up the title of the episode with Izzy Mandelbaun and Chelsea Noble playing "Danielle" and it's called "The English Patient". Definitely in my top 10 - probably top 5 but I can't declare it #1.
It is The Mango... followed closely by The Lip-Reader. What am I going to do for fruit?!?!!?!? I don't know what's going on with the Papayas!! I'M BACK, BABY!!!!
Man hands/Forbidden City/Kramer gets a job/Bizzaro Jerry was all in the same hysterical episode, my favorite by far.
I think I would change my vote to the Chinese Restaurant. It is the quintessential episode of Seinfeld, no convoluted storyline, just the gang trying to make it to dinner and a movie.
The Contest holds up much better over time... Chinese restaurant was good, and was the first Seinfeld episode I watched live, but its hard to watch now (especially with pay phones playing such a big role in the episode). Same goes for the episode with the "two-line phone". The later episodes are actually holding up quite well... they could put it on in prime time and it would likely be the most quality writing on TV.
"The Slicer" was on the other night - first episode with Kruger in it. Maybe the best episode of Season 9.
Chinese Restaurant was on last night. Called my older boy in to watch it. Amazing how well it holds up. Still so relevant and funny. Just brilliant that an entire show's premise was waiting on a table.
Watched (last night)the one where Kramer gets his tooth pulled, and tries on Jimmy's jump shoes. And then gets mistaken as being "special". I don't watch much tv but I found myself watching a few episodes on TBS. Show is great.
Thank God for TBS and "Seinfeld" re-runs. It's still the funniest show on TV imo. No matter how many times I've seen the episodes...I can always watch them again. It's like every time I'm watching "Seinfeld"...everything is right in the world. It's my perfect calm.
