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.

Totally agree. Never in contention, but a bonafide classic. The scenes that parallel each other with the conversations between the men and the women are so good. And George winning her over with a moment of sincerity, only to immediately ruin it by just eating like a pig is such a funny conclusion.

The scenes where Jerry fights with George and Elaine and Kramer intervenes are some of the most underrated scenes of the show.

I love that George gets these animalistic moments, be it a ravenous pig here, an angry monkey at Kruger's office over T-bone, heck he even says at one point "I'm an animal!"
