I'm a new viewer to Seinfeld and I am catching up by watching the old
episodes. On new shows, I often hear a comment about George being fired
for trying to poison his boss, but I don't think I've seen that show.

The only one I can think of is when George tricks a guy who wants to buy
the same suit as him. The guy turns out to be a chef and he sends Georges
table some "bad" cake. But George was not hired yet.

Is this what they are referring to??

Thanks

It refers to an early episode where George worked in a real estate
company. His boss fired him, so George decided to get even, by following
the office people to a bar, where Elaine distracted the boss and George
put a "mickey" in his drink. Before the mickey could take effect, the
boss became gregarious and hired George back. The part we didn't see was
him firing George again after the mickey took.

No, They're referring to an early episode when George got fired from
his real estate job and he slipped his boss a very strong laxative.(I
think that's what it was) Of course this was right after he had been
re-hired.

There's an episode where George, working in Real Estate, is humliated by
his boss and quits. Then when he tries to come back he is humliated by
his boss again in front of everyone. Later, George and Elaine concoct a
plan where Elaine will distract the boss and George will slip a 'jimmie'
(I think thats the word) into his drink. The boss then turns to George
and rehires him and George spends the rest of the episode unsuccessfully
trying to get the drink back but the boss drinks it. In that episode
Jerry and Kramer try to get back at a laundrymat for stealing $1500 (or
some amount of money) by putting cement in a washer.

No. It was when George worked in a real estate office. One day the
boss sends out a memo saying that no one can use his private restroom
any more and they must use the public restroom in the hall. George,
being funny about where he goes to the bathroom, goes into a rage and
goes in and tells off his boss and quits. After realizing what a
mistake he has made, he goes back the next day and tries to act like
nothing happened but he gets fired anyway. He then shows up a company
party and uses Elaine to distract his boss while he slips him a
mickey. After George puts the mickey into his boss' drink, his boss
decides George isn't so bad and decides to rehire him so George tries
to keep hinm from drinking it until he makes a smart remark and calls
George a "shrimpy little guy."
This was one of the all time best episodes. It also had a plot line
where Jerry left some money in his laundry bag and thought the guy at
the laundromat stole it. Kramer talks him into getting revenge on the
guy. They go back to the laundromat and while Jerry distracts the guy,
Kramer pours a bag of cement into a washing machine. Later Jerry finds
the money but winds up having to use it to replace the washing
machine.
Great episode. I'm not sure if it has been on in syndication yet.

It was on in syndication sometime around Christmas last year because I was watching
that one for the first time with my family. A real bonding experience.

This was the episode that hooked me on Seinfeld for good. I'd forgotten
how fun great physical comedy could be until seeing Michael Richards
trying to pour cement into a washing machine unnoticed.

Other than Richards, the only great physical comedian on TV now is
Jaleel White. No, I'm not kidding--Urkel himself. White transformed the
Urkel character from a one-time appearance to a secondary character to
the focus of the show. Ignore the dumb lines and just enjoy how skilled
he is using his lanky frame.

I know that in "The Revenge", George gets fired (for the 2nd time) for
slipping his boss a "mickey". (to pay him back for firing him the first
time)

It's probably a mickey, not a jimmy. (Mickey Finn)

Barry,

The Revenge has been shown in the States in syndication. In fact, this
amusing episode will be shown this Sunday in San Diego

(I think) this is the one where George is fired by his boss for some
stupid reason (I think George used his private bathroom), so George
decides to get even by "slipping him a mickey". He shows up at an office
party with Elaine, and while she distracts his boss by telling him how
she loves to do everything in the nude, George pours a small vial into
his ex-boss' drink.

I think the episode had to do with George quitting his job. He quits because
of having to share a restroom with another office. He and Elaine plot and
try give his boss a 'mickey' in his a drink. Funny thing was it was
moments after his boss decided to give him his job back.

Yes, but George is redeemed when the boss calls his office antics funny
and that he missed "the shrimpy little guy". George repiles with "Drink
up"

A mickey is not poison, it's just knockout drops. A normally healthy
person wouldn't die from it.
