Love the "Chinese Restaurant" ("Cartwright, Cartwright?") and the "Chicken Roaster", but, really, all amazing. What a great series!

Memorable episodes for me:


The Kenny Rogers / Mr. Marbles episode where Jerry & Kramer switch apartments.

The non-fat yogurt episode where Jerry cusses @ a cussing child and Elaine breaks a chair.

The Elaine mannequin, the Elaine tv guide stalker... When Elaine thinks she's dating a black guy. Elaine dancing. Elaine poppy seed junkie episode.... etc.

The episode where Puddy tells Elaine she's going to Hell. & GERMS! Puddy, period.

The episode where Kramer has on some really tight jeans and walks around like Frankenstein.

The Aids Walk / Ribbon.

The Wig Master / Pimp.

The Merv Griffin Show.

The one where Jerry dates a girl that looks just like him and George gets all weird.

Man hands!

SERENITY NOW! Insanity later..

I believe "The Contest" is widely considered the best.

My personal favorite is "The Little Kicks" - but more for George's storyline vs. Elaine's dancing. And of course, the iconic exchange between Elaine and Frank at the end.

I also loved "The Opposite".

I can't decide between the Contest, the Soup Nazi, and the Opposite.

Too many good shows. They must have had 20 A+ episodes.

When I saw this thread, this ^^ episode was the first one I thought of: "That, my friends, is one magic loogie!"

Also, "The Contest" and "The Hamptons" are favorites as well:

Elaine: "It shrinks?"
Jerry: "Like a frightened turtle."
Elaine: "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things."


There's also "Abstinence," in which George turns into a genius by giving up sex and Kramer ruins his looks by taking up smoking.

The one where Elaine says some filthy sexy things on a tape recorder that Jerry is using to record one of his stand-ups.

When they found out it was her, Jerry Kramer & George were VERY intrigued, to say the least. George fell in love with her and wanted to tell her

The episode where Elaine is invited to her boss' son's bar mitzvah, takes a crappy gift, and the kid takes his "today I am a man" schtick a little too seriously. And then uses the explanation of what disappointing gifts he received as a scapegoat explaining his sense of entitlement. When it is mentioned that she has subsequently been invited to 7 more bar mitzvahs, that just really tickled my funny bone. And then every man she went to seeking solace, tries to put the move on her too.

The Soup Nazi is also a personal favorite, to the point where in the final episode when the prosecutor calls Yev Kassem to the witness stand, I knew the second he mentioned the name, who that was gonna be.....And I think that is the apex of the entire series. Coffee spraying out both nostrils!!

It's very hard to choose.

It would have taken some reworking, but I've always thought the backwards episode, which was the second to last episode, would have been great as the finale, right down to the last scene, with Jerry saying, "Don't be ridiculous. We're neighbors, what's mine is yours" and Kramer says, "Oh, really".
