What Episodes of Seinfeld DON'T you like? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Schmoopie · 08-23-2008, 05:16 AM

If this is possible... are there any episodes of Seinfeld that you didn't care for or don't like at all? I'm in the middle of trying to watch them all in a row, and the one so far that I don't care for is "The Nose Job". It wasn't that funny and Jerry's comment about his "organs playing chess with his brain" was kind of over the edge for me. They were very blunt when they mentioned the "organ", and there was a "visual" scene of Jerry sitting at his table dressed as his brain who is playing chess with another "Jerry" dressed like the organ in question. I noticed that the scene didn't get very many laughs and I think if they hadn't come right out and said the word, but instead used it evasively (like in "The Contest"), it would have been funnier.
If I were to watch "The Nose Job" again, I might decide it's not that bad, but for now, it's on my list.... which I'm sure will be really short.

I found something I liked in every episode except the backwards one. It was just terrible, backwards and forwards.

I didn't like the one with Susan dying from the envelopes at all. In fact, I didn't care for any episode centered around Susan!!

Yeah, that one wasn't that great. Kind of cool that they filmed it backwards, but definitely not a classic episode.

Yeah, I wonder why they killed her off anyway? That was a little weird...

I didn't care for the episode in reverse, and like you guys, Susan dying. Even for Seinfeld that was cold and kind of nasty. Kramer is my least favorite character, so there were a few with him that I wasn't crazy over, but can't think of at the moment. I gotta say though, that Merv Griffin set was hilarious.

I've seen every episode at least three times, on average. Some episodes I've seen six times, while others, I've seen once. I'll now mercifully put an end to this babbling, lol.

I think she was in the way. They needed to keep the characters single to create more opportunity for humorous storylines. We needed George to keep goofing off on dates. "It's me, not you." "Shrinkage", on and on.

That's my choice...also, the pilot episode wasn't that great either.

DSfan · 08-23-2008, 11:30 PM

I was going to say the backwards episode as well, it seems to be the majority of those who have posted responses so far, interesting....

Some parts of the episode when Kramer is accused of being a serial killer I can't stand anymore because for some reason I only seem to see part 2 of that episode and have seen it like 5-7 times now.

I agree. I just never cared for Susan in the first place - she was annoying.

Dutabi84 · 08-24-2008, 12:35 AM

Don't really care for the clip episodes. I needs me a plot to follow along to keep me interested. Even if I have seen some of the same episodes dozens of times.

Wasn't the backwards episode in the last season?

She was, and what a nag. She was all over George, just carping away at him all the time. His character wouldn't have been funny as a married henpecked husband.

I think so. I didn't really care for this one either. The only cool thing about it was that it was backwards. The beginning was actually better! Or would that be the ending?!?

I didn't like Susan that much, either and you guys are right that George wouldn't have been as funny being married.
