A few things to consider: Season one is pretty rough. The show didn't start earning respect until several seasons in. Season two starts to feel like the actual show. By season three, they're in full Seinfeld mode through the last episode of the series.

Stakes are never terribly high, which allows more room for jokes and bits of character work and giving everyone in the core cast their time to shine. You can see its DNA in everything from Friends t...
- The Robbery. (Season 1, Episode 3) One of “Seinfeld’s” earliest episodes helped establish the fact that the four main characters were in no way above settling serious issues in incredibly silly ways.
- The Boyfriend/The New Boyfriend. (Season 3, Episodes 17 and 18) “Seinfeld” never did too many celebrity appearances but this two-parter is a notable exception, with both Jerry and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) vying for the attention of professional baseball player Keith Hernandez.

- The Betrayal. (Season 9, Episode 8) This episode stands out among all other “Seinfeld” episodes, and all other sitcom episodes in general frankly, because it runs in reverse order.
