Kurt’s Blog: Seinfeld Started…Yada Yada Yada…25 Years Later? Still Awesome

Apparently, I’m in nostalgic mode…which is really no different than normal…I heart the 80s & 90s…but in July, 25 years ago…we were introduced to the greatest TV show of all-time…Seinfeld.

I still watch Seinfeld re-runs…if I’m scrolling through the Guide, and I see Seinfeld…I instantly have to check in on it, and within a few seconds, I could tell you exactly what this episode is about.

Seinfeld (NBC)

On Tuesday last week, scrolled through TBS…boom…Seinfeld….saw Teri Hatcher…we all know this is the episode where “They are real…and they’re spectacular”…but I also instantly knew that it was the episode where George can’t go left (when making moves on a woman)…Jerry can’t go right…George’s girlfriend’s uncle dies…George goes to the funeral…George double-dips the chip…and I knew this is episode that featured the conversation between Kramer & Jerry regarding the borrowing of swim trunks.

I must say…I am very proud of my useless knowledge of all of this.

Anytime I see broccoli…I still refer to it as “vile weed” ala Newman.
