Crappiest seinfeld episode
John Logothetis
episode?.
I personally found the episode in which Kramer finds an old game-show
set and remodels his apartment with it totally stupid and downright
boring - I failed to see any humor at all in this episode.

That's your loss. I have yet to see a Seinfeld episode that I haven't
found extremely enjoyable. I suppose if I had to pick the one I liked
the least, it would be "The Seinfeld Chronicles". Without knowing
anything about the characters, the very first episode was the least
entertaining.

I disagree about "The Merv Griffin Show" . The look on Georges face as
he walks into Kramer's Appt. and Kramer introduces him to the non-existant
audience while Jerry & Elaine sit in the panel chairs is
superb! I Loved it!

The one where Kathy Griffin played a stand-up comedian with a grudge against
Jerry... that episode only had one joke, and it wasn't even a good one.

apartment but I guess I'm fortunate. I actually think that the Busboy is funny.
Most people will tell you the finale was the worst episode but I liked that
too. Even though I'll probably get a lot of lip for it I'm gonna say The Pen
cuase I couldn't relate to it. I saw the humor in it I just didn't think it was
funny.

And why on earth do they repeat this one so much?!

Speaking of cars... the one where Jerry is trying to buy a car
from Puddy would rank as my "crappiest". I remember watching it with
someone who had never watched Seinfeld before and I was trying to convince
them how great the show was. I just remember thinking, "This sucks...If I
were seeing this for the first time, there's no way I would watch the show
again."

>episode?
I kind of like the Busboy. It was a defining moment for George--establishing
that he was capable of screwing anything up. As far as your question, I don't
consider any Seinfeld epiosde "crappy", but when Fox was re-running the first
and second seasons of the show a few months ago, I was disappointed with most
of them. Of course, this period produced such gems as the Chinese Restaurant,
so this is not an absolute law for me, just a general trend. The really early
shows had not yet established the main character's personalities (esp. Kramer
who was often portrayed as a slow witted semi-retard intead of the mad genius
he became) and had almost no well developed supporting characters. Also, the
sets (apartment, restaurant, etc.) looked extremely artificial to the point of
resembling some kind of minimalist stage play. Everyone says the early shows
were the best, but i missed the Costanza parents, Steinbrenner, Peterman,
Newman, Susan, etc, etc., etc., as well as the element of surrealism added in
such episodes as the Bizzaro Jerry.

It was not a Parking LOT it was a Parking Garage. There have been A LOT of
episodes about LOTS but not A LOT about garages.:-)
I believe this episode was a poke at The Poseiden Adventure. Trying to find
their way out of the ship. The goldfish was a reference to the sea. (My 2
cents)

Hi
So your seriously saying you found 'the dealership' enjoable. How? This would
have to be the worst seinfeld episode made. George is absolutely crap in this
episode, and there is too much puddy. I admit i did chuckle at Kramer and the
dealership guys empty tank race, and the thelma and louise angle. However i
really didnt find this episode enjoyable at all. On the otherhand The Seinfeld
Chronicles was great, for an episode in its infancy stages. Ok No Elaine, but
George's and Jerrys insightful comments on relationships and the early kramer
character surely must be better than those characters in the dealership.
well thats just my opinion.

I loved that one.
The one that I like the least is probably the early one where Jerry has
to "break-up" with an old friend of his.

I agree -- I think that The Pen is probably the most overrated episode
in the series. I don't think it's worst, but definitely in the bottom
ten.

Seinfeld has had some duds this last season. Last night's re-run,
"The Maid" was not very good. Kramer is afraid of the city? I was
totally confused. Anyway, the first and last season's, IMO, had the
most "bad" episodes. The first season was weak because the characters
were not fully developed and the last season because the characters
had run their course. Seinfeld really got going in Season 2 and kept
gaining momentum until this past season when the show started to
resemble other sitcoms at times. But I will repeat a message that was
posted here awhile back. "Seinfeld is like sex. When it's good, it's
very good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good."

seen, although it started out pretty good. One of the most overrated
episodes is "The Fire" - but I must admit that Kramer's bus driving story is
funny!
>Apart from "The BusBoy", what do you think was the crappiest Seinfeld
Jonathan Look
I've always hated (and please forgive me) the one where his
father gets impeached.
It just seems an implausible story, and there's really no way that
they could impeach him without proof that he embezzled funds,
and so therefore the situation is to avoidable, and when a comedy
situation is avoidable, I don't see it as funny.
Also another one I see as not funny is the one where George is
trying to get the "Frogger" game across the street. I know it's
supposed to be a humourous parady of a video game but it's too
"avoidable" again, there's too many chances George had to ACTUALLY
cross the street and then just back off.
I know it's supposed to be sin to analyze seinfeld like that...
I guess I'm the anti-christ.

*That* was the joke! Kramers girl moved a few blocks downtown and
they were treating it like it was a long distance relationship turning
Kramer into the country bumpkin in the big city. Maybe it was a New

Amen brother! For what it's worth, off hand I would say The
Understudy was the weakest of the series but that was still scores
better than most of the other sitcoms out today.

was just awful- especially Elaine's and Puddy's break up- make up

Slo
"Male Unbonding". I haven't seen the Busboy in a
long time so I'm not sure if it's as bad as it's
reputed to be. A lot of early ones (seasons 1-3)
are pretty bad - by Seinfeld standards of course.
Most Underrated Episodes: "The Gum" and "The Diplomat's
Club".
Most Overrated Episodes: "The Dinner Party" and "The
Airport". These episodes are sooooo predictable.
Here Seinfeld toes the boundary of sitcom hell.
Most Unjustifiably Attacked Episode: Why do so many
people dump on "The Understudy"? The plot concerning
the Korean pedicurists is great, Kramer lipsynching
"The Wind Beneath My Wings" is funny, and the banter
between George and Midler is funny. Not one of the
best but far from the worst.

I enjoy a lot the B.O or beyond BO episode. But someone didn't like it. And
thats ok.
Although most people might disagree there is only one episode that I will
consider crap
"The chinese restaurant" it is below average for Seinfild, if it was another
series, maybe but for Sienfield it was no good,
close to the final episode too but that one I enjoyed.

really consider crappy are all of the ones coming from the last season
(minus the finale) and a hand full of episodes from the two prior seasons.
In general, I think that the series reached its prime at around the season
which ended with "The Pilot." The shows preceding that were great, and a
lot of the ones after it were great, but there seemed to be a steady
degeneration starting then. I'd imagine there will be a bit of backlash
from those people who have only seen the last season, and think they are
the "ultimate" Seinfeld fans, but I really don't care what they think :)

(actors, writers, etc) didnt know when to quit. Except for the finale,
which was brilliant, the last season was not good. The worst
episodes were Jerry's girlfriend and the tractor story/Kramer has
gonorrhea/George wants to get out on a high note/I forget the Elaine
story. Jerry hires a maid/George wants a new name/Kramer gets lost
in the city/Elaine gets a new phone number. Jerry gets in shape/Kramer
gives blood/Elaine babysits/George combines food and sex. Kramer gets
the Merv Griffith set/Elaine gives the guy tictacs/Jerry's girlfriend's
toy collection/ George runs over the pigion. Kramer hides a key/the
neighbor's bird/Elaine's boyfriend is married. Just about
all the shows this season were bad, but I feel these were the worst.

and as for the last episode it was a pathetic attempt at an episode
it was written by Larry David and as far as i am concerned as soon as he

it's sole purpose was to bring back old guests and show highlights

ever seen! I heard that they adopted the idea for The Barber from a play and
shaped it into a more Seinfeldian environment.
In general, I believe that the 4th and the 5th seasons are the absolute
best, the 4th season consisted entirely of excellent classic Seinfeld
episodes, while the 5th season provided a perfect balance between the old
dialogue based shows and the goofiness we've seen in the later ones! Even
the 6th season holds a high standard, but after that I think that Seinfeld
lost it's touch, although it's of course still the best show around.

it, sound and all. It's really something!
But I disagree that the Puerto Rican Day was one of the worst. It was
funny. The three men all using their aliases to use the bathroom and
watch the TV in that rental apartment was hilarious. The laser following
George around was cute. Elaine leading the people under the bleachers
was a mock of the typical disaster film. No way was it a loser episode.
It was far from PERFECT though, I agree. There were lame moments.
The real loser episode was "The Van Buren Boys." Can you give any
reasons why it was good? I could write a treatise on why it is the worst
one ever but I won't.

You gotta be kidding me! You can't have watched much Seinfeld and
appreciate the type of humor Jerry grew famous for. One big event
in PRDay and the characters' reactions to it was classic Seinfeld
humor. And the character's ending up at the house for sale with
different names and stories was brilliant. I'm not saying it was the
best but it was a great episode if one appreciates Seinfeld-type
humor.
And the accidental burning of the Puerto Rican flag and Kramer
stomping on it was absolutely hilarious! I laughed hysterically
as wide-eyed Puerties watched as Kramer accidentally desecrated their
colors. It was a great scene! The irony is that we all know the Kramer
character never would have done that intentionally (Kenny Kramer, maybe).

It was a great way to show how Kramer's stupidity/clumsiness gets him
into difficult situations. The accidental burning of the PR flag and
the PRs misinterpretation of it was an absolute riot (pun intended).

It's people like you that create that racial tension by seeing it
wherever they can. You are looking through colored glasses, in a
sense.

The only thing offensive is your idiotic coments (or trolling?). It
was hilarious and the flag-burning was one of the funniest parts.

Good one! Yes, the flag burning was not only a great plot twist, but it
was also entirely within Kramer's character.

Really. I saw "road rage", but nothing even approaching racial tension.

The real shame is how many people will never get to see this gem of an

My vote for the worst episode is the talking belly bit.
Hellllllloooooooo, Haa...haa...haa (deep belly voice). Where Jerry
has to decide between the babe, or the voice.
Completely stupid and not funny. And even the side line of Kramer
hiring Darrin as an intern for Kramerica Industries was mediocre at

No, it was "The Gum". Between Elaine's cleavage and a rare bit of
physical comedy from Jerry (trying to walk throught the theater with the
glasses on was a howl!), this was one of the better episodes for me.
Heh heh. did I just say "between Elaine's cleavage"? ;)
Anyway, the whole wacky set of circumstances that caused Deena to think
George was insane (Ruthie Cohen, the $20, Lloyd Braun, not being
recognized by Jerry, etc.) was a well crafted subplot that came to a
head 5 months later in "The Bottle Deposit" when George is sent to an
asylum after Steinbrenner misattributes Wilhelm's report to him, and
Deena meets up with him while visiting her father who had a breakdown
(that first occured before "The Gum" because it was her father's
tinkering that did in the Jon Voight car, thus ending an era and making
this episode historically important as well as entertaining.
And if that wasn't enough, Larry David makes a cameo appearance as the
guy who refuses to accept George's defaces $20 bill!
I think whoever first said "The Gum" was a crappy episode just doesn't
understand the Seinfeld series as a whole.
