The episode when George supposedly dies and Steinbrenner goes to deliver the news to George's parents and Georges father says you traded Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps ?

My all time fave episode I think is The Heart Attack from Season 2 episode 8 - I feel like this episode caught the vibe of the later episodes.
The SciFi movie start with Larry as the alien
The Hospital / Kramer comments

I like "Seinfeld". Never was a Seinfeld nerd though. It's like the thinking man's "Friends". There are a lot of re-runs though. I often catch one of those. Perfect to watch when there's nothing else to watch on the tv.
One minor thing: I like the fact that he drives a Saab 900 convertible. Black. I'm sorry that that didn't help poor SAAB to survive though. GM cut Saab:s lifeline in the end.

This and the voice message he left on (I think) Jerry's answering machine... "It's Frank Costanza. Steinbrenner's here. George is dead. Call Me"

This one was on TBS this morning! I had not seen it in years and it was funny as hell! From the holistic doctor treating George for his tonsil problem, and Jerry spending the entire episode trying to figure out what he wrote on a piece of paper in the middle of the night just for a comedy bit! Classic episode about nothing (LOL)!

Almost of these episodes were from the early years of Seinfeld, which, in my view, were not nearly as funny or clever as the latter years of the show. I like The Merv Griffin Show, The Dealership, Fusilli Jerry, The Wig Master, Serenity Now far more than the episodes listed. But, again, it is a matter of personal taste. It was all fun and laughter and not to be taken too seriously.
Your comments actually reinforce the notion that a lot of Seinfeld fans and critics have that the series actually got better over time. Seinfeld himself stated on several occasions that he wanted the show to end on top and reportedly turned down serious money by the network to continue with another season or two.

This also reminds me of when George's car broke down in the Yankee office parking lot, and they thought he was overworking, burning the candle on both ends!
... actually is it possible this is the same episode where they thought he was dead? I think it is.

The episode that George was looking after the old guy, and was 'given' his record collection, which included Emotional Rescue.
That takes this from "extremely off topic" to "slightly on topic".

His African maid (with the accent) then proceeds to rub oil all over George's head. Hilarious.
Seinfeld was the best.
I remember spotting an album I knew out of that stack he's holding, couldn't remember which album/band etc., as I haven't seen the episode since 90's, or maybe early 2000's reruns (seen those many times). There's about a 1/2 second window, where Kramer is in the back of the car or a cab & you can see it. Way to spot it btw!

The show never rests. It's on a constant re-run loop. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing. Of course you don't have to watch it. One thing that bothers me with the series is Jerry.
The others are flawed or losers (poor George) in a sense. Not Jerry. He is the only successful one. I don't know what that tells us...
