![]() Written by Larry Charles, this episode ended the third season by sending Kramer to Hollywood for his guest shot on “Murphy Brown,” beginning an arc of L.A.-oriented shows during which he is mistaken for a serial killer. Nonetheless, here are the best (although I’m not positive about this) of the multitudes I have seen, listed chronologically. Label me a fanatic lite, for I have seen perhaps only 90% of “Seinfeld.” The unseen episodes include the last several from this season, of course, plus the much-discussed hour finale. Then again, perhaps every viewer/show relationship ultimately wears thin. ![]() One thing that I discovered while doing this was that my “Seinfeld” tastes tilt toward 1995-1997 rather than more-heralded earlier “Seinfeld.” For me, its last season has been by far its leanest creatively (despite huge ratings), perhaps because as these characters have grown older, the emptiness of their lives and their commitment to trivia have become less tolerable and harder to justify. How could I have excluded George finding himself about to address a rally of neo-Nazis? A college reporter assuming Jerry and George are lovers? Jerry dating someone whose name rhymes with a female body part, and he has no clue? Jerry wearing that puffy pirate shirt on the “Today” program? Contraceptive-hoarding Elaine sleeping only with men who are “sponge-worthy”? George converting to Latvian Orthodoxy in hopes of keeping his girlfriend? George being chastised for urinating in the health club shower? Kramer taking a sperm test and worrying about the status of his “boys”? Kramer inventing a coffee table book that is not only about coffee tables but can be converted into one? Kramer creating a male bra he calls the “Bro”? Elaine’s clashing with that braless hussy Sue Ellen Mischke? Elaine sabotaged by a goofy rabbi who publicly blabs all the secrets she confides to him? George discovering the value of yada yada, and “antidentite” joining the show’s lexicon when Jerry believes his dentist friend converted to Judaism for the ethnic jokes?
