There is one thing that never happens in an episode of Seinfeld that happens in every other sitcom ever made, the serious moment. The thing I love about Seinfeld is that it's comedy from start to finish.
Why Seinfeld is the best sitcom

😂 Loved it🔥 Controversial
Fans praise Seinfeld for maintaining comedy throughout episodes without serious moments or moral lessons, contrasting it with typical sitcom conventions.

Yeah. And no dumb Halloweeen or Christmas specials where they all hug and learn some 'meaning' that makes them better people.

Excerpt from Finnish TV guide:
18:00 Kirottua 18:30 Giljotiini 19:00 Seinfeld special 20:00 Kahdeksan uutiset 20:15 Talousuutiset 20:25 Viikonlopun s�� ja Keno 20:30 Kaikki rakastavat Raymondia
Seinfeld special? Well, it's only cause they are showing two episodes in a roll (Boyfriend I & II)
Exactly! But doesn't that lead them to jail? :)

Yes, "no hugging, no learning" was the show's credo. You never heard NBC hype the show like this: "tonight, on a very special episode of 'Seinfeld', the gang wages a contest to see who can go the longest without masturbating."

The thing I find unique is that even after several viewings, you are surprised at what is contained in each episode. For example, in "The Andrea Doria", you start out with George competing with the Andrea Doria survivor for a choice apartment. But you don't immediately realize that this episode also has 1) the bad-breaker-upper, 2)Kramer taking the medicine of Smuckers the coughing dog, and 3)Jerry delivering Newman's back-logged mail. There's continual surprises and "oh, yeah" moments throughout each episode to keep each viewing fresh.

Exactly! Often it is difficult to find out in which episode a particular scene is, since there is so much.
When I first started taping Seinfeld for keeps (the final two seasons), there was no mention here of the episodes having names. After a while I needed to make a record of what was on my tapes and I made up my own names for the episodes. Even after adding records for 'opening scene', 'mid story' and 'ending' I still have a hard time when looking for a particular scene.

They also resisted the temptation to do a musical episode, even though Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander have singing experience.

I think it's something of an understatement to refer to an actor (JA) who has won a Tony Award for Best Actor In A Musical as having "singing experience"!

Yes, but there's more truth about the meaning and understanding of modern life in Seinfeld than in any other show. It's just that the Seinfeld humor itself is the vehicule for this truth, so there's no need to be serious.
Seinfeld is not just humor to me (or: humor is more to me than what it is commonly considered to be). His humor is encrusted so deep in my personality that it became a way for me to look at the world. Oftentimes, Seinfeld's humor is based on these little daily humiliations and frustrations we all have to go through. To be able to relate to a specific Seinfeld joke when it happens to me is a way to couterbalance and stay in peace with myself. Seinfeld's humor is litteraly for me a "survival guide to all the little frustrations of the modern world". With his sitcom, Jerry Seinfeld made the world (almost all the world) believe that he is the most superficial guy that there is, while it is exactly the opposite. This guy deals with the "ego" like nobody ever did before.
Jerry Seinfeld never let his ego wins at the end. He let it wins sometimes, but he always save energy to plunk it down at the last moment. And that's exactly how life should ends. He's my idol.

Reminds me of a book called "The Tao of Winnie the Pooh" in which it is shown that Pooh is actually a great taoist master although he doesn't know it.
Maybe it is time for a new philosophy/religion: Seinfeldtology.
Count me in!
Could you please post them all, here or on your website? I would like a copy cause your short recaps are a lot easier for me to remember the episodes by than the real titles. I would like that list in my PDA along with my episode guide and scripts. Thanks.

Good idea. I don't have a title for each episode though. Maybe about 120.
