Which seinfeld episode is this ?

I'm trying to remember the name of the episode in which Jerry dates a girl who appears to be perfect in every way yet when confronted by Kramer and George he starts to have doubts. Jerry never discovered what was wrong with his girlfriend - was it ever explained what was wrong with her ?

His parents liked her too much.

So, what's wrong with that? They really loved Elaine.

Plus, George and Kramer didn't like her.

"She's a loser." - George to Jerry.

I've never understood it either. Anyone wanna clear this up?

It's just one of those things. No explanation, no reason. Just that everyone else, other than Jerry, thought there was something wrong, but nothing really was AFAICS. Even her friends were glad that someone was willing to go out with her.

I don't think the girl that always wore the same dress was ever explained either.

They didn't think there was something wrong, they knew there was something wrong. The joke would not have been funny if we could see what was wrong with her.

Again the joke would not be funny if we found out at the end whether it was the same dress or whether she had many that are the same.

Exactly, the gang was so used to finding fault in others that they were finally finding a fault that wasnt' even apparently there.

You hit the nail on the head. The "problem" was that there was no problem. She was perfect and therefore she didn't fit in.

The actress has a few Seinfeld ties.

Odd that the actress, Christine Taylor, who portrayed this girlfriend also played perfect Marcia Brady in "The Brady Bunch Movie," not to be confused with the show, "The Brady Bunch." Even more odd is that she repeatedly appears as Bonnie on CYE, another tie to Seinfeld.

"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

She's married to Ben Stiller, the son of actor, Jerry Stiller, who portrays George Costanza's father, Frank, on Seinfeld. Another Seinfeld tie.

On Seinfeld, Christine portrays a character named Ellen. In real life, her daughter is named Ella. Coincedence? I think not.

Here's more about Christine:

That's a BIG coincedence!

Sure, but recall Jerry trying to explain his relationship problems with Elaine to his folks in The Stakeout.

"Every group has its loser, like Elaine...." - George

Perhaps we were supposed to be seeing her through Jerry's eyes? It's somewhat common to be gaga over someone while those around you question your sanity.
