No Blog For You!

It is hard to argue that Seinfeld is not the greatest sitcom of all time, but it is insanely easy to argue the best episodes.

A poll conducted by The Hollywood News has found that the top three episodes of Seinfeld are:
1. The Soup Nazi
2. The Bubble Boy
3. The Opposite

While these are all appropriate and phenomenal pieces of television work, three others stand out for me:

3. The Hamptons - Season 5 - Episode 85. What does it take to ruin a gorgeous weekend at the beach? Apparently a grotesque baby (Jerry: Boy, a little too much chlorine in that gene pool.) and a quick dip in frigid water (Elaine: It shrinks? Jerry: Like a frightened turtle!).

2. The Marine Biologist - Season 5 - Episode 78. Seinfeld is known for its interweaving story lines, but the fact that George saved the life of the whale that Kramer shot a "hole in one" on is classic.

1. The Contest - Season4 - Episode 51. It still amazes me that a show about four friends wagering on who could be master of their domain the longest would pass on prime-time television.
