I just watched The Airport. Man, this is a really, really solid stretch of episodes: The Bubble Boy, The Cheever Letters, The Contest, The Airport...

Think The Contest is my favorite episode to this point, with The Boyfriend probably in second place.

The Contest is genius. Talking about it without talking about.

The hot nurse and patient in the room with George's mom.

The naked woman across the street.

The virgin.

John F. Kennedy ah-JOON-yah

And never said the actual term for the act.

The Contest is by far my favorite episode.

It is 53 seconds from the time Kramer leaves Jerry's apartment and returns with "I'm out!"

Since we're going to into a holiday weekend, I'm just going to leave this round open and bump it a couple of times this weekend so anyone who wants to vote can. Probaly reset it to the final 8 on Monday night. Several picks are too close to call and one is dead even so get your vote in.

Ha....that episode gave one of the most memorable Seinfeld quotes....

"Who are they running against?"

"Common sense and a guy in a wheel chair."

I feel like we need two Seinfeld threads. One for the OG's (90-95) and one for the '96-'98 fans. There have always been two very different fan groups.

Give me OG.

I use "Dad likes his chicken spicy" all the time.

Along with "sweet fancy Moses" interchanged with "sweet merciful crap", my favorite Simpsons line.

Kenny Rogers chicken episode is on right now.

Jerry notices the red coming through Kramer's peephole. Initial exchange and then Jerry said "why don't you pull down the shades?"

Kramer: They are down.

Then later spills the tomato juice all over wall, sops it up with an oven mitt, then squeezes it back into the pitcher.

And finally: Cah-STAN-zha.

Soup Nazi vs The Hamptons was the only one I had to really think about on this one. The others feature great episodes, but one is just iconic to me.

For me, The Marine Biologist is #1.

Same on Marine Biologist.

I went Hamptons though, loved getting the scenes in the different place with a different social construct going on.

Nobody voted today, so here come your results!

#1 The Contest vs. #5 The Pothole, 85%-15%
#3 The Rye vs. #15 The Summer of George, 49%-51%


#1 The Marine Biologist vs. #13 The Yada Yada 77%-23%
#2 The Chicken Roaster vs. #6 The Opposite 54%-46%

#1 The Bizarro Jerry vs. #4 The Little Kicks 46%-54%
#6 The Muffin Tops vs. #10 The Shower Head 54%-46%


#1 The Soup Nazi vs. #4 The Hamptons 73%-27%
#6 The Cadillac vs. #10 The Merv Griffin Show 23%-77%

A couple of these results really bummed me out, but what can I do, other than alter all votes to suit my personal tastes, but that's not fun.

Which results bummed you out?

Glad to see people gravitate to the Merv Griffin show. The Cadillac is a great one, but the Merv Griffin Show is just too uniquely funny.

Muffin Tops over the Shower Head and Soup Nazi over The Hamptons is disheartening.

How can my fellow men vote for The Soup Nazi over The Hamptons? Seinfeld gave us the best PSA on shrinkage for all women to understand, and you snub it? FOR SHAME!

Hamptons losing and Bizarro Jerry losing. I love George as the Bad Boy, but as I stated earlier on this thread, Bizarro Jerry has my favorite Kramer plot line, and Jerry making his George the Animal Steel joke about Man Hands, George making a reference to the Forbidden City from Gorilla Grodd, and the greatness of Kevin, Gene, Feldman, and Vargas makes that probably my favorite wire to wire epsiode.

Little Kicks is great too, not like Bizarro lost to a chump. I think people loved seeing the best character, George, so his little 180. Plus, the ending in the police station is so great with Stiller.

Love when Fowler says "No, you idiot" as George tries to bring the squirrel closer.

I'm enjoying a sort of rewatch.

My son is now watching the entire series and I occasionally see one with him. I have told him on a few episodes to make sure and watch it with me - some of the best ones of course.

It's been fun he is really enjoying it. He is 26 now.

What's incredible to me now is how much of it you could actually not get away with today. The gay humor seemed completely benign at the time but no way you could make those references today. In fact at least one character would have to be gay today and another one a minority. You could never make this show today as it was. Sad.




Lotsa shows wouldn't get made today. Or wouldn't be near as funny. No way The Office as we know it gets made in 2022. Or at the very least wouldn't be near as funny because of all the stuff they'd have to take out.

Newman's there to take some of the pressure off of Kramer.

How in the hell did they get a take done without busting into laughter every single time watching Richards as Kramer in that scene.

I went to Youtube to go watch the ending to The Marine Biologist, and stumbled across this. I had no idea this was the first take they did, and it was based on a rewrite. That is incredible. Even moreso because the entire cast kept their composure:

Well you know a lot of the stars from the 70s, they were not as hygienic as they appeared on TV. You can take Mannix for example
