3. The Opposite (IMDb Rating 9.5)
In The Opposite, things seems to be going well for most of our favourite New Yorkers.
Kramer's coffee table book about coffee tables is being published and he's invited onto Live with Regis and Kathie Lee to promote it. Naturally things don't go well as Kramer acts... well, like Kramer.
Elaine is finally getting a raise at work as a Japanese company comes over to help prevent the publishing firm from going broke.
George has realised that all the decisions that he makes in his life have been wrong so starts to choose the opposite. He begins with his lunch order, then branches out to tell a woman he meets in Monk's that he's unemployed and lives with his parents, to surprise results. This chance meeting leads to a huge change in George's job prospects.
It turns out that the balance of the group means that if George is having a good time, then Elaine's fortune changes with disastrous results.
Jerry learns that no matter what happens to him, he always comes out even.
The Opposite shows the delicate balance of each of the gang and how their fortune is intricate to who they are as a person. As a series finale it sets up the characters perfectly for season 6.
