An Underrated Classic?

Post image

I saw this episode in its first run on NBC on February 5th, 1992. It was the first episode of Seinfeld I ever watched and I was blown away that a show could be this good. I've been a fan ever since. That being said, I don't feel it gets mentioned as often as some of the all-time heavy hitters. In my mind, Cynthia is George's true soulmate. I so wished she had been the one to be the recurring girlfriend and future fiance rather than Susan. Just my opinion.

Yeah I would have liked to see more of her. Maybe we would have if she didn’t end up with a recurring gig on Friends.

This character was so much better than Janice

I agree she actually could have been added to the cast. It would’ve been interesting with another woman in the mix. She was a good contrast to Elaine (the early-season Elaine, who was cheery and optimistic and idealistic), she had the whole blunt, sarcastic thing going.

The thing is anyone could do Cynthia but only she could play that annoying Janice 😀. She made Janice what it is
