Question

Fans ask for official episode titles and discuss where to find them, noting that Seinfeld doesn't display titles on air unlike other shows.

Can someone please tell me the official titles of the past few episodes? I have guessed the episode from 2/3 was called "The Dinner Party", but I have no idea what last night's might have been called.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

This is sort of related to Seinfeld and all other shows. It's about titles of shows. Seinfeld is the only show I know which has put the title of the show at the beginning, but it hasn't so far this year. I've always wondered where people find out the titles of shows, because it makes it easy to refer to them. I was always annoyed when watching the Emmys when they would refer to the title of an episode, and yet the entire viewing audience could only speculate on which one they were talking about.

Well, I don't remember EVER seeing a title in the show itself (*except* for at the start of the satellite feed of course).

There ARE quite a few other shows that give the title though.

Its mandatory! Especially for those of us who write episode guides and also collect a lot of shows on tape.

Unfortunately I did manage to miss the title for the most recent episode... so what was it, "The Mannequin"?

The title was simply "The Pie". By the way, for those wondering where to find the episode titles, they are NOT in TV Guide, but they often ARE in your local newspaper's daily TV listings. Sometimes, all they print is the title; sometimes they include a brief synopsis.

And by the way, "The Contest" is the title of that Emmy Award-winning episode (for writing), not "Master of Your Domain".

Come'on it ain't that hard to do... you take the major plot, or major quote from the show and make a title, that is usually how they come up with titles anyway. You also have to watch a lot of shows to know what makes a good title. Specificlly: The JFK episode could only be attributed to the show that went by the name "The Boyfriend". JFK could not apply to any other show because, as was mentioned before, JFK _JR._ was on other shows, and these are not JFK shows. Also, if there is a possiblity that two shows could have the same name, come up with a new one.

The names at the awards ceremonies come from the writers. At the header of each show it gives the show number and title and other info, but the view never gets to see this info...

BTW, very few Seinfeld shows have had titles printed on the screen at the beginning. One most notabally, "The Boyfriend" (with Keith Hernandez)

Could someone please post or send me an FTP site for the titles to every Seinfeld episode. Also, would someone with access to title listings please post the new title each week.

Thanks,

Louis
