Ask anyone what their favorite TV comedy is, and most people will have a different answer.
Maybe yours is “Friends” or “The Office.”
My vote has been and always will be “Seinfeld.”
It remains one of the best comedies of its time and possiblythemost quotable.
As a ’90s kid, I remember my family looking forward to Thursday night episodes.
Lucky for us, that changed and Elaine’s character was introduced in “The Stake Out.”
This sparks the stakeout angle of the episode.
Plus, we hear George make up the famous fake name that appears throughout the series: Art Vandelay.
After giving their name to the manager for a table, they wait.
And wait some more.
And that’s the episode.
Of course, that’s not exactly the entire plotline.
Alongside him is George, who has a fascinating premise: the show is about nothing.
It’s one of his longstanding lies, especially when boasting about himself.
That’s why “The Marine Biologist” episode is one of my favorites.
Instead of admitting the truth to her, George goes with it.
He wants things to change.
He begins by ordering the opposite lunch of what he usually orders.
Alongside this is Elaine, who starts out the episode with fantastic luck.
She’s expecting a job promotion and looks forward to moving in with her boyfriend.
As George’s luck rises, hers falls dramatically.
I’m George!"
It all begins when a famous soup chef starts a restaurant in the neighborhood.
They’re all enthralled.
Despite her initial misgivings, even Elaine admits the soup is amazing.
This quote is one of the more famous and oft-repeated from the entire series, still enduring today.
