hasn't

in (THEIR) top 2000 from Seinfeld:

18 - Seinfeld (the show) 107 - Soup Nazi (Seinfeld episode) 136 - Keith Hernandez spit reenactment (Seinfeld moment) 144 - "The Contest" (Seinfeld episode) 182 - Cosmo Kramer (Seinfeld) 191 - Kramer's entrances (Seinfeld icon) 444 - George Costanza (Seinfeld) 799 - Pez episode, (Seinfeld) 995 - Newman (Seinfeld) 1359 - When we first see that Elaine can't dance (Seinfeld moment) 1634 - Seinfeld's music sting 1652 - Putty [sic] (Seinfeld) 1770 - And you want to be my latex salesman? (Seinfeld moment) 1947 - Elaine's "Get Out!" (Seinfeld)

No, surprisingly enough, people still seem to like it. Go figure.

Anyway, here's how our favorite show fared in the Top 2000.

18.    Seinfeld  (finished 7th on the 'TV Series' list)
107.   "The Soup Nazi" (Seinfeld episode)
136.   Keith Hernandez spit reenactment (Seinfeld moment)
144.   "The Contest" (Seinfeld episode)
182.   Cosmo Kramer (Seinfeld)
191.   Kramer's entrances (Seinfeld icon)
444.   George Costanza (Seinfeld character)
847.   Jason Alexander
799.   "The Pez Dispenser" (Seinfeld episode)
995.   Newman (Seinfeld character)
1359.  Elaine's 'dancing' (Seinfeld moment)
1634.  The Seinfeld theme.
1652.  David Puddy (Seinfeld character)
1770.  "And you want to be my latex salesman?" (Seinfeld moment)
1947.  Elaine's "Get Out!" (Seinfeld moment)

I didn't scrutinize the entire list, but it seems that the only TV show referenced more than Seinfeld was Saturday Night Live. That's pretty fair representation I think, although I would like to have seen George's parents, singularly or as a pair, somewhere on this list.

I think that all of the characters should've been ranked above anything else from the show. I mean, how could Putty make the list, while Jerry and Elaine didn't? Plus, there were alot (yes, *alot*, no space) of other moments I would've put up ("not that there's anything wrong with that," etc.).

By the way, glad to see you fixed your sig, Dave. ;)

BTW - I see "Boy In The Plastic Bubble" made #332 - Seinfeld should get part credit for that - most people thought it was an igloo.

In article ,

are on the

sure hasn't

show

George's

Personally, I'm still trying to figure out how Jerry himself didn't make the list. Kramer, George, Newman and Puddy all made the list as characters, Michael Richards, Julia Louis Dryfus and Jason Alexander all made the list as actors. Somehow Jerry Seinfeld was nowhere on the list.

It's like the damn Emmy's all over again...
