What do you think? Only one!! You have the Power...

IMO: Worst: The Airport Best: (yes, it's hard)... The Bubble Boy

Clara "Who told you to put the cheese on?"

Hmm, that's a tough question. So many choices...

I'm tempted to say "The Contest", "The Cheever Letters", "The Puffy Shirt", or "The Chicken Roaster", but I'm going to have to go with "The Junior Mint".

Doh! I forgot to list my least-favorite episode! While "The Dealership" is a close second with its disappointing ending, I'll stick with the true dog of an episode, "The Dog".

John, I just don't get this dislike of "The Dog". If for nothing else Kramer's ambivalent break-up lifts it to a class of it's own ("How could someone like me be with someone like you? (wait 10 secs) I love you"). And that whole thing about "saving films" for friends is so bang on. I love this episode!

Tod Friendly "Who loves not wisely but too well, will look on Helen's face in Hell. But he whose love is thin and wise,

Hmmm, I didn't think that segment was particularly funny. The way it was filmed was somewhat interesting, but I think Kramer's over-the-top outbursts have been handled better in other episodes.

But I think my dislike for "The Dog" really comes down to the dog itself, as well as the dog's owner. The humor was based on how annoying each was, and that's the problem: not only were Jerry and Elaine irritated by Farfel and the his owner, WE as the audience were similarly annoyed! (Or rather, *I* was annoyed. Your mileage may vary.)

Well personal opinion obviously. I in general found the owner (if not Farfel) very funny.

I too love this episode. I think I gained a better appreciation for it while transcribing it for Mike's web site.

Best...I like Serentity NOW!!! I believe this is the same episode where Jerry is dating the girl that says he never gets mad. If it isnt then its a tie. Seinfeld trying to convince the other cast members that he is mad is hilarious!

Not much into the sexual perversion stuff on the show. And this whole show was based on one.

Worst ep: The Strongbox. Only funny bit was Kramer trying to hide the key. George having a girlfriend who refuses to break up with him: doesn't that give him the elusive "upper hand" in the relationship? Whole deal with the bird made me cringe..

Best ep: The Boyfriend. The Magic Loogy, The first "Hello Newman", "say Vandalay Industries!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All I'm saying is I don't care for "dirty" humour. Like Jerry , on his A & E Biography, saying that he wouldn't curse doing stand-up because he wants people to laugh at the joke and not the cursing. Same concept.

Thanks...E

So is the act itself "dirty"? Lemme guess: you were raised as a Catholic, right? ;-)

Only if you do it right!

Ba-dum bum.

Thank you, good night!

Not Catholic...E

Obviously. And people are free to comment on opinions posted publicly, including making humorous jibes about sexual hangups. :-)

Don't take offense at a conversation that resulted from your message; if you didn't want to discuss it, a newsgroup isn't the best place to express one's opinion.

~~~~~ Sorry about the top posting. I didn't know.

Based on you negative comments I don't think I'm the one who is grumpy. Anyway, I was just answering the question that was asked. I did't point it at anybody, people are free to like what they want.

'Sokay, thanks for fixing it.

Nah, it was just disbelief at someone on a *Seinfeld* group calling masturbation a perversion. (Oh no, someone shoot me, I said the m-word).

I'm just telling you why you are so against "self-relief" (or "pounding one out", as some call it) - it's because you don't do it! It's part of our lifestyle! :)

Lighten up, dude - you don't seriously think that if there even *is* a god (which is highly unlikely) that he cares about you baiting the master a couple of times? Or is pleasure a sin?

"I don't care, you're going to hell" *makes like a demon*

I think they guy made a mistake using the term "perversion" but has since restated that he meant that comedy that doesn't relate to sex or scatology is more difficult than that which is. It's a fair point. I know about 100 good dirty jokes and about 2 good clean ones. :)

worst the last one best is the one where the guy jimmy from there gym speaks in the 3rd person . it is the same one where the velvet fog sings to kramer

Hey fellow Seinfeldaholics!

This is off the top of my thick head…lol:

Best episode: 5 Way Tie "The Contest", "Keith Hernandez", "The Goiter", "Merv Griffin Set" & "Face Painter" (i love the NJ Devils)

Worst episode: Tie "Trapped In Mall Parking Garage" & Too many to name from final season

Best episode : The Pony Remark (seriously). Love that Uncle Leo! =) Worst episode: The Doorman. Without Poppie, this would be even worse....

Jonathan Seinfeld <wrote:

Yeah, I agree. That one is definitely one of my least-favorite episodes. I normally love Larry Miller's stand-up, but his character in this episode was more irritating than humorous.

That said, I enjoyed the subplots like The Bro, etc.

Worst: The Finale. Best: The Contest......although I had to throw aside The Cheever Letters and The Limo to say that. "Only one", pah.
