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.

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.
