Worst Seinfeld Episode

The show where Jerry's car gets stolen by his mechanic, Kramer hijacks Newman's van, Newman gets shot at by a farmer for responding to the farmer's daughter's advances . . .

I think I might have smiled once during the whole show. Definitely well below the usual standards.

Yeah, The Bottle Deposit. As I've mentioned before, the first episode was pretty good, and the second half was almost unwatchable.

I felt the same way about the recent show where George was gonna give a scholarship to some kid. I feel like somebody wrote ten minutes of a good script, then ran out of time, tossed it to someone else, and said, :Let's see what you can do with this!"

You're only saying this cause it was just shown as a rerun the other night. It would just be some other show you label "the Worst" ....

People always do this. I notice that the "Best Episodes" or "Most Underrated Episodes" always seem to include ones that were just shown the other night (with exceptions like The Contest or Soup Nazi).

I think the worst episode was the one where they were all going to the movie, and Elaine was trying to save the seats but gave up...I can't even remember what else happened. I think that was the only episode ever that didn't make me laugh at all. In fact, I couldn't even pay attention to most of it.

That was on in syndication this week. In the last scene, the daughter distinctly calls out to Newman as "Norman". Do you think that is his first name or just an error on her part?

Norman Newman? I think it was a scripted error - this girl wasn't very bright, you know.

"The Bottle Deposit" was okay. A little weird, but still funny. I would have liked it better as a half hour show (maybe by dropping that farm sequence), but it was no where near "worst" in my book (I'd say the worst episode is "The Bris". Pig-man indeed).

Jerry's mechanic was hilarious if you've ever had a mechanic like that. And the look on Jerry's face after the car was stolen was priceless.

Pigman? Bris??? Are you insane? That has to be one of the funniest episodes in the Seinfeld catalogue. Man o man, if you think that is the worst, you must think the present season is the best ever. *snicker*

I did not like the Chinese Restaurant episode. That's the only one though. Andrea

Yeah, that mohil was a million laughs, especially when he....um.....gee, I can't think of anything funny that he did.

George was the only good thing in that episode.

I'd have to go with the episode with the holistic healer...I suppose it shoulden be given some slack given its an early show, but its still awfully awful...but this season is easily the worst ever...

The worst show ever begins and ends with "The Wig Master"

Almost all of them have been pretty bad. The only good one was the one about Kramer giving a tour of NY to some Japanese business men.

I hated "The Bris" the first time around but it grew on me the more times I watched it. I think the worst episode is one where Jerry goes on a date with Miss Maine(or some NE state) and Kramer escorts them.

In that Seinfeld episode, the joke was when the girl called Newman's name out as Norman, because she told his father he loved him, and she didn't even know his name. Not very funny, but still a good episode.

That was one of my favorite episodes from last year. I loved how they made ownership of the car sound like a custody battle over a child. "You got the mileage wrong. You barely know the car." "...this car's running on my sweat, and my blood!" And when Jerry told the detective, "What's the difference, it's my car, I'll do what I want with it," then after the detective gives him a shocked look, he adds, "...not that I would ever do such things." And the scene where Jerry and Elaine go to identify the car was classic.
