Mid seasons were best.

Seinfeld jumped the shark. Making salad in the shower?

getting a little excessive with the material is not jumping the shark.

oh and that term has about run its course in my opinion.

Fun fact - T-Bone - the one who stole George's nickname- is an actor named Damon Jones - former Aggie Singing Cadet! Been in lots of commercials.

Happy George Costanza is not a funny George

I think you mean Relationship George is not a funny George. Independent George, now there's a funny George. Either way, I always believed that New York Yankees George was the best George. Such a great addition to the Yankee tradition...Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle...Costanza! I was devestated when he got traded to Tyler Chicken.

A George divided against itself cannot stand!

one of my favorites. George at his self centered best.

Seinfeld remained great through the end. The later seasons produced a higher hit rate of classics than the earlier and mid seasons, but you're right that they were slightly different. But not in a bad way. They found success at finding the true essence of what made each character funny and stretching it just far enough to be hilarious without being stupid.

Except the actual end.

Pulling this long dead thread to give a post Seinfeld shoutout. Was looking for something else and came across this.

This thread bump is gold, Jerry! Gold!

Part of that is because Jason Alexander admits that he was doing a bad woody Allen knock off in the early episodes. Once he realized that George was modified Larry it got much funnier.

Of the early episode, the one where jerry and Elaine go to Florida and get in the argument over the astronaut pen is one of my favorites. Every time we go to my parents, either my brother or I will say "mrs Seinfeld I am begging you...turn the air conditioner on!"

That pen can write upside and astronauts use it in space.
