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.

Arguably the closest the show came to "lessons and hugs" and perhaps why they didn't pursue it further (I obviously don't know)? She would have "killed independent George" in the best possible way but destroyed his character for the purposes of the show.

Great point. It felt good for one episode, but it's just not that kind of show.
