10 Reasons Why Seinfeld is The Greatest Show of All Time

1. George Louis Costanza

128211920611183550 For my money George Costanza is one of if not the greatest tv character of all time. George is an obnoxious, cheap, paranoid, lying, loud, self proclaimed lord of the idiots and not to mention a very neurotic individual. All of these traits and many many more are what make him such an amazing character. Here's just a few of his stories... One episode features George getting a job at Play Now (a company that builds playground equipment) in which he lies about being handicapped which scores him a big office, personal bathroom and a rascal scooter to boot. He eventually gets caught lying by his boss but since he's under contract he can't be fired. Refusing to leave he continues to go to work everyday as if nothing happened. What a guy huh? During one of his meetings with the Yankees George starts swallowing shrimp as if there's no tomorrow so a co worker makes the comment, "George, the ocean called. They're running out of shrimp." Humiliating him in front of his co workers at the meeting. Of course he thinks of the perfect comeback later on only to find out that the employee that zinged him moved to Ohio. End of story? Nope. Of course George then decides to fly out to Ohio in hopes of getting his revenge by zinging him back. As usual his whole plan back fired as he did the walk of shame, only to think of the perfect come back after he got back to New York. Typical. Then, there's Susan Ross, George's fiance. George never really wanted to get married but him and Jerry made a "pact" at Monks to become real men so George decided to take the leap of faith and convinced Susan to marry him. Long story short, Susan died while licking toxic envelopes from their wedding invitations that George picked out because they were the cheapest ones. Don't worry, it gets better.. Last but certainly not least... FESTIVUS! George HATES Festivus. He would've never had to deal with it again, however he got caught giving out fake Christmas Card donations to his co workers. Caught between a rock and a hard place George told his boss Mr. Kruger the reason why he gave out fake donation cards is because he doesn't celebrate Christmas but rather Festivus! George is then forced to invite Mr. Kruger over to his parents house in order to prove that he's not lying. Hilariousness then ensued. So there you have it, 10 of the greatest reasons why I believe Seinfeld to be the greatest show of all time. I know I left a lot out but if you want know more, WATCH THE SHOW! You won't regret it. And if for some strange reason you don't like it, I'll allow you to punch me in the face if we ever meet. On that bright note, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing. Until next time, thanks.
