Hello all, After long, soul searching hours of contemplation, I've decided that these are the ten best episodes. What do you think?

  • The Contest
  • The Junior Mint
  • The Mango
  • The Sniffing Accountant
  • The Tape
  • The Soup Nazi
  • The Implant
  • The Switch
  • The Marine Biologist
  • The Outing

That's it. The Parking Garage was a close 11th. Anyone out there in agreement?

Come on, now, how could you miss "Fusilli Jerry" ?

yes, i am in very close agreement... the contest, junior mint, the tape, the marine biologist, the implant, the mango and the outing are among the best (and the parking garage belongs up there too..) -jamie [email]

Katie email: [email] EDMONTON I still think the Airplane episode deserves a spot in the Top Ten.

Throw out the Soup Nazi. Replace it with anything from before this current season.

I think the episode that reveals that Elaine faked orgasms with Jerry "all the time" is one of the 10 best ... and the following lines say it all:

Jerry: (aghast) What about all the moaning, the breathing, the panting, the screaming ...

Elaine: Fake, fake, fake, fake.

My Ten best (in no particular order) are: The Fix-Up (on syndication 3/14) The Tape (on syndication 3/16) The Deal (on syndication 3/18) The Truth The Contest (of course) The Rye The Fusilli Jerry The Phone Message The Library The Limo There are many other episodes that are really good, but the above are IMHO absolutely wall to wall funny and deserve the title of Must-See-TV. Many of them are never mentioned in "best of" lists because they were early season episodes that haven't been in syndication. Luckily, I have the originally broadcast episodes on tape.

what cracked me up in the Keys storyline (plus the trp 1 and 2) was the scene at the end to the Trip 2 when George and Jerry are on the couches and when they think they've left Kramer in LA.. suddenly the K man comes out of nowhere and to grab some food in Jerry's appt. The exact momen i find very touching is when Jerry throws his keys to Kramer.. people u have to supportme on this one?

(of course after that Kramer throws his hie 100 keys chain to Jerr :)

anyone loved that scene too??

-Dan, a big fan (aka FMUlder.. look fer me on irc) P.S.: TRUSTNO1

1.The Cadillac 2.Soup Nazi 3.Junior Mint 4.Contest 5.The Parking Garge

The worst episode: The Chinese Restaurant

One of the greatest episodes which nobody has mentioned is "The Deal". This is the one where Jerry and Elaine try to sleep together and still be just friends. "The idea is to take the this and add the that"

I AGREE TOTOALLY!!! Fantastic Episode!!!! I only wish I had that one on tape...

I disagree. Its a very early episode when Seinfeld was still trying to figure out what kind of show it was going to be. I much prefer the episode when Jerry found out that Elaine had been faking so they slept together to save the friendship. (Remember the Mangos)

My favorite episode is the "George, I can't stand ya!!!" episode where George's high school coach gives him a wedgie. I also like the episodes with the cigar store indian, the soup nazi, and anything with Poppi

episodes

The best episode ever would have to be when the baseball player spat on Kramer, and they did a JFK take off.The second best would have to be THE BIG SALAD,also the one when Kramer was suppose to be retarted.

Brett.

I love the "The Opposite." I still watch it every now and then.

Richard Germosen

The best episode, IMHO, is the one when Kramer is "retarded". Totally a classic episode, so hilarious!!! :) -kristi

The whole "Pilot" series is hysterical, since, not only is it outrageous, but largely tells the story of the very existence of the Seinfeld show!

FINALLY!!! Somebody else thinks that the "Pilot" episodes are hilarious.

George(Speaking to the NBC executives): "I think I can sum up the show with one word 'Nothing'"...

George (Speaking to Russel, head of NBC): What did you do today?

Russel: I got up and drove to work

George: That's a show

I really can't pick ten, I'll just list my faves:

  • The Close Talker
  • The High Talker
  • The Communist
  • The Soup Nazi
  • The Assman
  • The Opposite
  • The Contest
  • The Label Maker
  • The Devil
  • The Junior Mint
  • The Shrinkage
  • The Pez
  • The Abortion
  • The Dry Cleaning Deal
Fox-Force 5

I like the one where Elaine sends out all those Christmas cards with her photo on them; not knowing that the photo is revealing her nipple.

Elaine: (to George) "..You want your christmas card? (violently grabs his head
            and starts rubbing it into her cleavage) ... HERE'S YOUR DAMN
            CHRISTMAS CARD!!!"

Also has Kramer sporting briefs for a Calvin Klein ad. He tries to impress the CK executives by strutting around like a model; but rather comes across as elegantly clumsy - too damn funny!
