So many great ones to choose from, including:
- Mulva
- The Summer of George
- The Contest
- The Serenity Now
- The Merv Griffin Show
- The Butter Shave
- The Frogger
- The Soup Nazi
- The Chicken Roaster
- The Van Buren Boys
- The Pothole
- The Bizarro Jerry
- The Little Kicks
- The Foundation
- The Little Jerry
- The Strike (Festivus)
- The Reverse Peephole
and so many more
My favorite is the one where Jerry and Elaine are afraid of "Crazy Joe" DeVola, and, at the end of the episode, they all go to the opera - (I have no idea what the title of this one is)

(3,569 posts)Mr Bookman! "A library cop named Bookman? That's like a guy selling ice cream named Cone". Kramer. Loved him. Loved the librarian too. In a real life Seinfeld moment, I love librarians and have some nice times with a couple, so this episode has that. But those moments are ever present.

(27,849 posts)but this time, to impress a date, he said he was a marine biologist.
Walking with his date along the beach, a crowd of people were standing around watching a whale in trouble not far from shore, and one of them yelled out "Anyone here a marine biologist?"
Later, telling Jerry, Elaine & Kramer the rest of the story, he said that the whale's blow-hole was "clogged up with something", which turned out to be the "Titliest" golf ball that Kramer had hit out into the ocean earlier that day.

(16,104 posts)I would start adding in "Vandelay Industries" just for kicks!

(27,849 posts)The Betrayal was the "backwards" episode where the gang flew to India to attend Sue Ellen Mischke's wedding (George was afraid he'd catch something if he used an Indian bathroom)
catbyte
(34,447 posts)as the episode went on. George also wouldn't take his boots off, right? They made him taller and he didn't want his girlfriend to know he was short. Timberlands?

(27,849 posts)Also part of that episode, Kramer & his friend FDR exchange wishes that the other would drop dead.

(40,416 posts)But there are so many great Seinfeld episodes.
The series with network executive played by Bob Balaban falling in love with Julia Louise-Dreyfus is priceless. Also, that's the autobiographic "Show About Nothing" episodes. The actor playing Kramer steals George's snacks.
"Shrinkage" episode, if only for that one line.
"Man hands" for rather obvious special effects.
And, of course, "The Soup Nazi".
But none of those rise to the level of "Puffy Shirt" for utter, hilarious mayhem. George's rather short lived hand model career is part of the story line.

(8,652 posts)Definitely 'Poppy's Pizza;' when Poppy neglects to wash his hands before returning to the kitchen to prepare Jerry's pizza.
red dog 1
(27,849 posts)Poppy was played by Reni Santoni, who played a young Carl Reiner in the autobiographical 1967 movie "Enter Laughing"..which is a hilarious movie about Carl Reiner's early days.
(Carl Reiner directed it)
It had a great cast too, including:
- Jose Ferrer
- Elaine may
- Jack Gilford
- Shelley Winters
- Michael J. Pollard
- Don Rickles
- Janet Margolin
Excellent pick!
