Seinfeld: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best

3. Season 4

Season 4 is as meta as any major show has ever got. When Jerry is asked to make a show based on his comedy for NBC, he and George try their hardest to write and produce a show that represents them and ultimately that famous line of the show being about nothing.

This, of course, ends with Jerry and George hiring actors to play themselves, Elaine and Kramer, and the filming of a pilot episode. In terms of a narrative for the season, it's a brilliant one that shows just hadn't seen before, and one which Seinfeld was in a unique position to make happen at the time.

This series also marks the first time that George met Susan, who is an executive for NBC and whom he'd later be engaged to (and inadvertently kill).

It was a new thing for the series to start in LA, where Kramer is trying to be an actor after the events of the final episode of the last season. Though it must be said the 2-part opening worked well, the writers didn't really explore this avenue again in the run of the show.

A special episode mention from us here has to be 'The Bubble Boy', where George, Jerry, Susan, And Elaine head to Susan's parents' cabin upstate and Kramer sets fire to it.
