Seinfeld how many series

Louis-Dreyfus was also pregnant in the second half of the season so, if you pay attention, Elaine noticeably hides her belly behind set dressings. Some great moments from Season 8 include Jerry's continuing attempts to reference Superman, Elaine's terrible dancing skills, cockfights, adventures with J.

Peterman, and, of course, the Summer of George. You can't really find a bad episode in the bunch. Now we get into the Top 3 Seasons. It's really difficult to choose just one here so a case can be made for any of them to be in the top spot.

As for Season 5, the only thing that keeps it from being a silver or gold medal winner is its lack of a cohesive narrative that runs from the season's beginning to its end. The individual episodes are fantastic, enough to move this season high up on the list, but as an overall season it falls just short of being the best.

When I mention things like the Puffy Shirt, the restorative property of mangoes, or the non-fat yogurt conspiracy, if I ask you to spare a square or if you trust Eric the Clown Jon Favreau to keep his cool during a fire, you'll likely get a strong sense of nostalgia for this season of Seinfeld.

The beauty of Season 5 - which can also be said for Seinfeld overall - is that you can drop in on any episode and enjoy it without having seen the one preceding it. But this list's top spots will go to the seasons with strong individual episodes as well as cohesive season-long narratives.

Season 7 might have the strongest season-long storyline, one that starts with George's engagement in the premiere and ends with Susan's death in the finale. While the latter wasn't exactly the plan when scripting started, David's departure from the team necessitated a change to how they handled Susan's character, leading to one of the show's best and most talked-about episodes.

Season 7 also saw what could be the most memorable supporting character of the whole series, the Soup Nazi. Whether you're in the mood for a calzone from Paisano's, or you want to take in a showing of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" just don't leave your car at Jiffy Park , or you have a plan to make money recycling bottles on Mother's Day, you just can't go wrong watching Season 7 from start to finish.

It's hard to pick a season that doesn't have the Soup Nazi for the top spot, but Season 4 has a couple of things that give it the edge. Its season-long story may not be as shocking as the one in Season 7, but its self-referential nature represents what makes the show so great on a larger scale. Have you ever noticed that in "Friends" commercials, not even they, the reigning kings and queens of sitcoms, dare tread on the title of "funniest show ever"?

Just watch the next commercial you see, and you'll find "the funniest running show on television! Seinfeld was groundbreaking, and it went to places that few comedies or dramas, for that matter have since gone, and nothing before nor since has in quite the same way equaled it. I notice a reoccurring complaint of negative reviews on this site: the opening and occasional ending of Jerry Seinfeld doing standup.

I admit, it isn't the funniest thing that I've ever heard, though he is by far the best "have you ever noticed" comedian, but give me a break! That is your complaint? At least some other reviewers go on about characters, and the implausible plotlines not that I agree in the least with them , but just that reason alone?

You obviously don't have the intelligence to grasp the humor of the series, content only with the easy-to-understand slapstick of today's comedy; but nonetheless, in your blatant stupidity, you cannot grasp why it ISN'T funny, either -- so you pick the standup.

In any case, despite the negative reviews or even the positive, Seinfeld stands the test of time, and is the greatest sitcom ever made. The last and greatest juggernaut of comedy, I know I'll be watching the untiring reruns that never seem to get old when I'm old and gray and long since committed to a retirement home.

And do you know what? The intelligent viewers of humanity's next generation will be doing the same thing. FAQ 9. Who is Ruthie Cohen? What are the words to George's song on his answering machine?
