The first few episodes are classic.
In those, in no order:
The pilot, with the different diner, and Jerry's different dad. Jerry has a engaged woman stay with him for the weekend.
George is successful, and not a loser. (although he slips a mickey in his bosses drink after his boss makes fun of him and humiliates him)
The foreshadowing (8 years) of the line Jerry: "Wouldn't Life be great if you could do the opposite" George: "Well that will never happen".
Then, where George gives Jerry the rights to his Blackhawks jacket if he dies (George is in the hospital for his tonsils). In that episdoe, Kramer busts Geoerge out of hospital and takes him to a holistic healer, who turns George purple, after some hilarious lines.
I remember seeing those episodes the first time, the first time they were aired, in the summer of 1990, before they picked him up for that Fall of 1991, and even then the show was on thin ice.
