I think what makes Seinfeld so great, besides the writing, is that pretty much every character outside of the main 4 was so well cast.
Newman, the Costanzas, Uncle Leo, Steinbrenner, Putty, Kruger, Jacky Chiles, Walter White, Bania, Peterman, the whackload of famous actresses who got their start on the show etc etc. Just so many amazing characters all around. All of these minor characters are just as important as the main 4. I mean Mr.Kruger only appeared in 4 episodes, but I feel like he's an integral part of my Seinfeld experience. Kayyyoooogger.

Whatever you say T-bone.

No one on here has scene the Curb Your Enthusiasm Seinfeld within a Seinfeld episode a couple years back? Where the cast reunites to redo the finale to make up for the bad finale? It's so ingenious, hilarious and adds a whole new layer to Seinfeld.
My most favorite series of all time, by a long way. Of course the theme's and terms are still stuck in cultures lexicon ("not that there's anything wrong with that", "master of domain" etc), but each episode had great subtle comedy made by great timing and great characters.
Some of the early ones (when it was still a pilot in 1991) are some of the best. George wasn't the same loser, Kramer was a bunch more creepy.
The casting of the bit characters (Crazy Joe, Newman,Jackie Childs, J Peterman, Ping, Morty, Jack Klompus, Tim Watley etc etc) was superb and always right on the money and IMO Jason Alexander was the star of that show.
Now way can one put all the great clips and scenes from all those years, here's some early stuff though.

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.

Heads up, the 'Puerto Rican Day' episode is on Comedy at 4:30. Hilarious episode.
I want to thank whoever posted the youtube Behind the Scenes, I've made my way through about 80 of them.
The second to last episode...the last "true" Seinfeld episode...I recall when watching it the first time, the comment that Kramer made that "Everyday is like this in Puerto Rico" and then stomping on a flag he accidently set on fire, being a bit edgy, and sure enough, some Puerto Rican groups told people to boycott the series finale the next week.
This episode as a result of that controversy (not helped by Michael Richards' racial routine a few years back) isn't on very often.
I just started re watching the series in order. I didn't know that Art Vandelay, Importer and Exporter at Vandelay industries was first introduced in the 3rd episode. The little things they carried through the whole series are so awesome.
