| Who figures an immigrant’s going to have a pony?: Seinfeld Series 2: Episode 2 | November 16, 2008 | The Pony Remark is one of my very early favourites. Mind you I’m not terribly discriminating when it comes to Seinfeld favourites. There are favourite aspects of nearly every episode, but this one is an early treat. The first thing to like is that after Jerry’s opening standup the first scene is devoted to his […] |

| "Fruit’s a gamble. I know that going in": Seinfeld Series 2: Episode 1 | November 8, 2008 | The Ex-Girlfriend begins once again with Jerry’s stand-up, persisting it seems with the sports jacket and abominably colourful, wide tie. Topic – driving in traffic. Nice observations but not laugh out loud funny. We move to Jerry and George chatting in the car, while waiting to pick up Elaine. The topic here is breaking up, […] |

| "guys with cats…I don’t know": Seinfeld Series 1, Episode 5 | October 25, 2008 | The Stock Tip is the finale (or perhaps that’s too grand a term) for Series 1. Once again you can feel David and Seinfeld finding their comedy writing feet. And once again there are a number of foreshadowing topics and characterisations for future series, including George’s homophobia, Jerry’s Superman obsession, Kramer’s crazy money-making schemes and […] |

| "I cannot overstate this…no soft cheeses of any kind": Seinfeld Series 1, Episode 4 | October 22, 2008 | Here we are with The Robbery. Jerry is certainly wearing an awfully dated black and white patterny tie for the opening monologue. First to the apartment with Jerry packing for a trip and readying Elaine to take on the responsibility of house sitting. Best of all his instructions, rules for the refrigerator where apart from […] |

| "A wedding…there’s a lot of people to mock": Seinfeld Series 1, Episode 3 | October 15, 2008 | Episode 3 in Series 1 (The Stake-out) sees the introduction of further key characters and a few recurring jokes. Following the opening standup where Jerry wears a particularly ill-fitting suitcoat and tie, we meet Elaine and Jerry in the video shop. While incidentally discussing pornography, they strike a deal. Jerry will go with Elaine to […] |
