Any Seinfeld fans?

Seeing as we have a seperate thread for almost every other comedy program I can't believe there's not one for one of the best TV shows of the past twenty years. So err, here we are.

Love Seinfeld.

Love it. Started to get a bit boring after season 6 or 7, but still funny.

absolutely love it too! Only really got into it after getting into Curb Your Enthusiasm about a year ago, but have seen all the episodes since, only finishing up with them last weekend.

As mentioned above, the frogger episode is a winner. Also love The English Patient, The Phone Message, The Marine Biologist and my all time favourite, The Race.

One of my favourite scenes was this, when George comes up with a plan to start dating his girlfriend's room-mate....

GEORGE: All right. Let's go over it again, one more time.

JERRY: All right. So I tell Sandy that I want to have a ménage à trois with her and her roommate.

GEORGE: That's right.

JERRY: And you believe this course of action will have a two-pronged effect. Firstly, the very mention of the idea will cause Sandy to recoil in disgust, whereupon she will insist that I remove myself from the premises.

GEORGE: Keep going.

JERRY: At this point, it is inevitable that she will seek out the roommate to apprise her of this abhorrent turn of events.

GEORGE: Continue.

JERRY: The roommate will then offer her friend the requisite sympathy even as part of her cannot help but feel somewhat flattered by her inclusion in the unusual request.

{George takes over.}

GEORGE: A few days go by and a call is placed at a time when Sandy is known to be busy at work. Once the initial awkwardness is relieved with a little playful humor, which she [Laura] of course cannot resist, an invitation to a friendly dinner is proffered.

JERRY: Huh. Well, it all sounds pretty good. There's only one flaw in it:
They're roommates. She'd have to go out with me behind Sandy's back. She's not gonna do that.

{Another pregnant pause. George?}

GEORGE: You disappoint me, my friend. Sandy wants nothing to do with you.
She tells Laura, "If you want to waste your time with that pervert, that's your problem."

{Final pause. Jerry?}

JERRY: It's a perfect plan. So inspired. So devious. Yet so simple.

GEORGE: {George, finger in the peanut butter jar}: This is what I do.

SALES WOMAN: The asking price is $1.5 million.
KRAMER: Oh, I spend that much on after shave. Yes, I buy and sell men like myself every day. Now, I assume that there's a waterfall grotto?

and then later on.....

KRAMER: Uh, Varnsen.
