I don't feel bad in saying that I dislike seinfeld and think much of it is poor television.
the show should have ended 4 or 5 years before it did, as the characters became even more unlikable, and pathetic parodies of their earlier selves.

This is why I'm in the minority of people that loved the finale, they rubbed it in everyone's face that these characters that everyone grew to love and cheer for, were really just a bunch of detestable scumbags who negatively impacted the lives of nearly everyone they came in contact with.

Yup this one was the first that came to mind for me too.

The best episodes for me are, in no particular order;

a) the contest

b) the one where George is a marine biologist (best monologue ever)

Best episode was "The Betrayal" - the one that was played in reverse. I never see that one on TV re-runs anymore which is a shame.

My vote for best scene is the write off:

Crave tv is almost worth it, just for Seinfeld.

I don't know if I could pick a favorite episode... By themselves, Seinfeld and Lois-Dreyfuss were not THAT good and funny as actors. It was the brilliant supporting cast that made them and the show look so funny. (other than writing, of course). I'd say pretty much all episodes with lots of Kramer, Newman and George's father were pure gold and are still funny today. "The Butter Shave", "The Chinese Woman", "The Doll", "The Pilot" are all hilarious.

Marine Biologist might be the quintessential Seinfeld episode.

I disagree with you on Lois-Dreyfuss.

I think she is quality, and produced some great moments on that show. I would suggest that she was brilliant.

The whole scene starts 4:30 or so here, but jump to about 5:20 for the coffee shop part.

Friggin hilarious to this day.

The Kenny Rogers episode just kills me every time. So damn funny.

I also loved the episode where Kramer reverses the peep hole on his apartment door.

Wow that is quite the list and it is hard to disagree with the top picks. I will however repeat another poster's love for "The Betrayal" which the article doesn't seem to enjoy. The reversing gimmick was done well, the story and twists were hilarious, and the ending going back to when Kramer moved in was a nice treat for fans.

Also, my wife was watching a Friends marathon on Mother's Day and I just realised that it is pretty much an inferior rip off of Seinfeld.

The “Jimmy”.

Jerry: “you feel the need to use profanity at the dentists office?”

Kramer: “when they pull that needle out I let the explicitives fly”.

“The Berayal” would be my pick as well. I don’t know if the reverse storytelling style they used was a first for a sitcom or not but it was fantastic.
