This fan-favorite and critically acclaimed season five episode has a 9.3 rating. Additionally, Elaine hilariously sums up the show when she says to Jerry: "I can't spend the rest of my life coming into this stinking apartment every ten minutes to pore over the excruciating minutiae of every single daily event." Meanwhile, Jerry is dating a gorgeous woman with “man-hands” (another Seinfeld-ism), Kramer inexplicably stumbles into a corporate job and he and Jerry start bickering like an old married couple, and George discovers the golden ticket to the forbidden city of beautiful women. Elaine is fascinated with the bizarro world and starts studying the group like a scientist, but ultimately realizes that it's not the right fit for her. Jerry’s counterpart Kevin (Elaine's ex-boyfriend) is kind and reliable, George’s counterpart Gene is polite and charitable, and Kramer’s counterpart Feldman brings Kevin groceries and always knocks. Seinfeld runs wild with his Superman obsession and crafts an episode in which Elaine enters a bizarro world in which Jerry, George, and Kramer have polar opposite lookalikes. “The Bizarro Jerry,” which has a 9.2 rating, is one of the most memorable season eight episodes and the one with the most Superman references. Meanwhile, birds get revenge on George when a hawk attacks him and his new pet squirrel. Unfortunately for Jerry, Kramer exposes him on his show, now in the format Scandals and Animals. It all goes from bad to worse when George runs over a squirrel and spends a fortune to save its life, Elaine’s plan to sidle the "sidler" backfires causing her to give him some noise-making Tic-Tacs which annoy Peterman, and Jerry keeps drugging his girlfriend so that he, George and Elaine can play with her toys. George is accidentally massacring the pigeons who, for some reason, are breaking “the deal,” Elaine is creeped out by a new employee who keeps sidling on her so she decides to sidle him, and Jerry is upset that the woman he’s dating won’t let him play with her incredible toy collection so he drugs her.

What if Seinfeld was a talk show hosted by Kramer and Newman, and Jerry, George, and Elaine were the guests? Well, in the season nine episode “The Merv Griffin Show,” which holds a 9.1 rating, Kramer finds the set from The Merv Griffin Show in the trash and re-builds it in his apartment. The restaurant shuts down, and so does the sign, much to Kramer's disappointment. In the end, Jerry shakes the fake Russian hat at Kenny's, covering everything in fur. While all that is happening, Kramer gets hooked on the chicken, prompting Jerry to send him back to his own apartment. On no sleep, Jerry essentially turns into Kramer and offers to get a fake hat for Elaine from one of Kramer's friends. Meanwhile, George kind of misplaces the hat, which Elaine has to return. Kramer takes to the streets to run Kenny Rogers out of business, but Jerry doesn't want his friend to lose his job again so he switches apartments with Kramer. Elsewhere, Elaine misuses the Peterman account to buy personal items, including a ridiculous Russian sable hat for George. Meanwhile, Jerry inadvertently gets his old college buddy fired by convincing him to blow off an important meeting, so he ends up working at Kenny Rogers. A Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurant opens across the street from Jerry’s building and the giant red neon sign renders Kramer’s apartment uninhabitable. This is one of the best plotted Seinfeld episodes, in which three storylines run parallel and intertwine in a glorious conclusion. Next up is another season eight episode, “The Chicken Roaster,” which has a rating of 9.1. In conclusion, “The Abstinence” gave us some pretty memorable lines and hilarious moments, so we can see why it’s such a popular episode. Or as Jackie Chiles put it, the man’s a goblin. He opened a smoking lounge in his apartment and as a result, his face got all disfigured from the smoke. While George was getting smarter and Elain was getting dumber, Kramer was getting uglier. There’s George who stops having sex because his girlfriend has mono and thus turns into a genius because the huge chunk of his brain, as illustrated by Jerry with cabbage, that was previously preoccupied only with sex is now finally being put to more productive use.Ībstinence, however, is having the reverse effect on Elaine, who starts turning into an idiot after three days, or as Jerry explained it, no one’s taking out the garbage and the sidewalk is now blocked, so nothing’s getting through and she's stupid. This early season eight episode follows several plotlines. We kick things off with the tenth-highest-rated Seinfeld episode “The Abstinence” which holds a rating of 9.1 on IMDb.
