Yeah, i was an early adopter of the show. Then i fell off in the late 90s. The finale did not hold enough for me, but i love looking back to the show, especially the filet years.
And now, people celebrate Festivus with so much love. Very impressive. The holiday has been around longer than i have been alive, but it really only got popular over the past 18 years, mostly because of constanza's dad.
It is the most. Wonderful time. Of the year.
The airing of grievances. The feats of strength. The aluminum pole. Tinsel is so distracting. Yep, it still holds up.

I never watched Becker when it was initially on but having just watched it the eponymous character seems like a fusion of Jerry and George, so maybe Seinfeld is not quite as new as we think?
I'm not alluding to the comedy of the show which is no where near as good as Seinfeld.

I actually liked Becker. Um, that show came on after Seinfeld did. Seinfeld had 9 seasons.

Yeah, the camera and set looked like it was from that decade. It had some funny moments.

Possibly Ted Danson's need for Cheers style lighting from the early 80s.
Imremember tuning into Becker thinking it was something about my second favorite German atp player. Now, he's the one needing some 80s lighting.

Yes that is the one. The same one as "Poppy peed on my sofa"
Or maybe that is the one when Poppy decides to do what Kramer suggested and let people make their own pizza, but they get into the fight if cucumbers should be allowed on a pizza or not

That's actually the tennis episode! Elaine has Jon jr in her aerobics class and Jerry needs to let this awful employee at the tennis club beat him so his wife won't leave him haha.

Agreed. Some of the most influential roles came out of the early years. Soup **** for one.

Anotherr gyem fahr Milos!
Seinfeld was very influential.
Without it, would we have a Canadian star player?

I know what you mean. George was not as neurotic, Kramer was a ducks/strange (more so) and jerry was a pansy. Yes, I believe they let Larry take over after the 2nd season. Early seasons were good in their own way, but I believe beginning season three the show really took off. The characters just became who they were known to be.
Interestingly enough, even if Jerry bought the wrong racquet based on this poor-player's opinion, he's still able to toy with him once he's had enough with his insults.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it's pre-strung too!
A lesson for all of us maybe? ;-)

Good to see that Elaine's a mother, but she has aged rather badly and the erstwhile father in the background seems estranged from his own progeny.
What is going on here? Pic is from a few days ago.

There were a couple of tennis related episodes.
The one you mentioned where the tennis pro Milos is an awful player and JS has to throw their match to make him look good in front of his wife. The woman who played Milos' wife later showed up on The Nanny playing a rock star and much later on Chuck playing Casey's old flame.
The other tennis episodes were the one where Kramer runs over Monica Seles at the US Open while serving as a ball boy. The other, Elaine is charged with getting Mr. Pitt's racket restrung.

I thought the first season or two was mediocre at best. It wasn't till Kramer poofed up his hair, was the show at its funniest.

fearsome with the thorough response per usual. Thanks. I don't actually think I remember the Monica Seles episode though it sounds vaguely familiar. Look forward to checking it out. I like Kramer's history of injuring athletes. His delivery of the story of him punching Mickey Mantle during that baseball game is easily one of the funniest scenes in seinfeld imo.
One of the great episodes I sort of forgot about but watched again recently was when George had sort of a bedroom built in under the desk in his office, with drawers and everything. Then Steinbrenner came in with his grandchildren, and George from under the desk called Jerry to make a bomb alert as a terrorist, so George could get out without being caught. Not that it mattered to Seinbrenner anyway..
Seinbrenner at the phone when Jerry withdrew his demands on George's behalf: 'But you're a terrorist, you've gotta want something". Epic stuff.

Reviving this thread on the 25th anniversary of the first broadcast of Seinfeld.
Then, in the 1989 pilot episode, it was called The Seinfeld Chronicles and Kramer was known as Kessler.

I'll add one to the above list. I was watching Californication and one of Mulder's sex partners looked very familiar but I could not place her. Turns out she had been on Seinfeld 20+ years earlier. She (Paula Marshall) played the NYU student reporter who sat next to Jerry and George in the diner and concluded they were a gay couple; not that there is anything wrong with that. On CAfornication, she played the woman who Mulder thought he had impregnated but the kid was black so he was off the hook.

So many actors have made cameos on Seinfeld. I remember the guy who played Carlton Lassiter on Psych also played Susan Ross's brother in an episode where they found out their dad had a gay affair with John Cheever, lol. It was like one of his first acting roles.

Way too late but in case anybody still wondering it's from Jerry's current show Comedians in Cars going for Coffee. It was just a brief scene for half time at the Superbowl I think. It was lame but his show as a whole is brilliant. The show is about Jerry and a guest just going for a coffee and talking shoppe, life, career or anything that comes up.What is going on here? Pic is from a few days ago.

Adding to the list of ex-Seinfeld actors who show up somewhere else....
Anyone watched 'Magic City"? It was a premium network show (Starz?) that ran for two years (16? episodes) about two years ago. Not a bad show. Rumor is they are going to make it into a movie. The show is on Netflix now.
It had a recurring character who played an exiled cuban who was the general manager of a luxury hotel in Miami circa 1959. He looked somewhat familiar but I could not place him. Turns out, he was the guy who played the threatening gay hispanic character (Cedric?) who stole Elaine's armoir from Kramer(the one they got from the Soup N-azi) and he famously said "Who doesn't want to wear the ribbon?" in the AIDS Walk episode when Kramer didn't want to wear the AIDS ribbon.
