10 Best Seinfeld Episodes According To IMDb
Which Seinfeld episode is King of the Castle?
The iconic sitcom about nothing, Seinfeld ran for a glorious 9 seasons.
Seinfeld followed the fictional life of comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his group of friends as they lived not so boring lives in New York City. Jerry, along with childhood best friend George Costanza, ex-girlfriend Elaine Benes and neighbour Cosmo Kramer, have a habit of finding themselves in all kinds of predicaments.
Jerry tends to find himself in absurd scenarios, though usually not of his own creation. Yet he still finds time to have over 70 different girlfriends across the course of the show.
George tries to find ways to scheme and lie in order to get ahead. Things never seem to go right for George and he's usually the victim of his own plans going wrong.
Elaine is the self-proclaimed intelligent one of the group. She spends much of the show seeking to move up through the publishing industry and finding a boyfriend who meets all her requirements.
Kramer is the quirky "hipster doofus" who lives across the hall. There isn't a crazy scheme that Kramer isn't involved in, usually with his pal (and Jerry's nemesis) Newman.
With 180 episodes of the show, there's plenty of capers that our gang of four end up in. From ridiculous dates, to misunderstandings, to the infamous contest, there's so many episodes of the show that fans fell in love with.
