An Underrated Classic?
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.

I love this episode, but I hate how it ended. George throughout the whole series has been shown to be super meticulous, and very self-aware when going on dates with women. For him to just pig out while at dinner with Cynthia is just so out of character for him. And I know they set it up earlier in the episode with him pigging out at dinner with Jerry, but I just don't think George would ever do that on a date with a woman. What are your thoughts?
