The best TV show ever.  One of these days, I'll get around to doing a top 10 Seinfeld episodes list.  The re-watchability of this show is just absurd.

Obviously "The Boyfriend" has to be #1 there.  Gotta run out now, but will check out the article later.

Breaking Bad supplanted Seinfeld as my favorite show ever, but I can't imagine wanting to rewatch shows of BB the same as I crave Seinfeld.  Seinfeld just puts me in a happy place - the featured characters were great but sometimes the occasional characters were even better -- Newman, the Costanza parents, Peterman.

 

My favorite episode was the muffin top/Real Peterman one.

The best one is when they find out Kramer's name and Jerry tries to pull the roommate switch.

 

When I first joined the CG I had no money and got paid something like 600 a month.  All I had for entertainment was Seinfeld VHS tapes I had bought from EBay.  I have yet to met anyone that knows more about this show than I do, but over time my knowledge has slipped a little.

 

I have a few friendships that should have died a long time ago but have been sustained through quoting Seinfeld to each other.  The show is timeless.

You'd do well with me and my buddy's Seinfeld trivia that we play on road trips.

Give me an alias for each character that was used at least twice. Three are easy but Jerrys is a tough pull.

Wow....the only aliases I can think of for Jerry are when he was Murphy in the limo and Cal Varsen in Vandelay Industries.

Need to get the poster brobey in this thread...   heard him recite full episodes (at-least it feels like that) off the top of head.

Much like you mentioned above, over time (and two kids), my recital of Seinfeld definitely is not what it used to be...

 

I can't remember a show that had so many great "part time" characters...there are seriously too many to list. My favorites were George's parents, Kenny Banya, & Puddy.

Varnsen is correct. He also used it in the Puerto Rican parade episode.

How about this one - name as many of kramers' 'imaginary' friends as you can.

Bob Sacamano was the first one that came to mind.  Can't think of any others right now.  You'd obviously be good at this.

 

Funny enough, "Newman" was an imaginary friend for the first few seasons.

Lomaz, Jay Reimenschneider (who gets it from his butcher all the time!), Spector (the fat fetish minimalist).  I think there is another one too, but I'm slipping.  

 

I googled it and there is another one.  Len Nicodemo had the gout.  

 

What's Elaine's sisters name?  I could go on for hours.

Not sure but I know she lives in St. Louis.

 

Her dad's name is Alton or Anton.  Something like that.

Best. Show. Ever. 

 

Still holds up after 25 years, and there are things that happen almost on a daily basis that you can say,"just like that one time on Seinfeld...."

 

Here's one. Whats George's middle name?
