Top 5 Seinfeld Episodes

This is a tough one, especially after the first two.

5. The Opposite

There were probably funnier episodes that could’ve taken this spot, but this was just a brilliant season finale. Having Elaine’s life fall apart while George’s turned around provided plenty of comedy while also setting up completely new dynamics for the next season.

4. The Little Kicks

Two words: Elaine dancing.

3. The Boyfriend

The hour-long Keith Hernandez show was full of hilarity, including the classic “…and you want to be my latex salesman” line. Also, the “JFK” parody nearly killed me.

2. The Chinese Restaurant

This was one of the early episodes that really sent the show down a new path for sitcoms. Set in real time, it was like a mini-version of “24″…though I think Jack Bauer would’ve gotten a table.

1. The Alternate Side

The first half of this episode is full of so many great jokes that it’s almost unbelievable. “Who put the cookies in his mouth? You’re not supposed to do that.”

    What happened to The Merv Griffin Show? That’s got to be up there don’t it?

    Good list…I’d include “The Marble Rye” (who can forget Jerry mugging poor old Mable Choate?), “The Outing” (“Not that there’s anything WRONG with that!”) and “The Marine Biologist” (“the sea was angry that day, my friends”) on my list!

    “The Outing” was probably the toughest one for me to leave out.
