By Season Six, the Seinfeld crew had their formula and character development down pat making it easy to churn out one classic episode after another. Not only do we learn a lot about Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Kramer (Michael Richards) in Season Six, but we also learn wealth of life lessons. For instance, just because you wear a toupee doesn’t mean you won't be rejected by bald women ("The Beard"). If you think everyone is giving you the finger, they probably are ("The Pledge Drive"). As ridicurous as is sounds, just because a woman has a Chinese name doesn't make her Chinese ("The Chinese Woman"). Eating out of trash is AOK, as long as your girlfriend's mother doesn't catch you ("The Gymnast"). If you try to make the "switch" and date your girlfriend's room mate, you just may get more than you bargained for ("The Switch"). If someone offers you an Armani suit in exchange for a meal, make sure you tell them that soup is indeed a meal ("The Soup"). Just because you are a "beard," doesn't mean you are dating ("The Beard"). Bringing crib notes in the bedroom may not be the best idea ("The Fusilli Jerry"). And just because Mel Torme sings to you, doesn't make you "special" ("The Jimmy"). We also learn phrases such as "re-gifting," and are introduced to new characters like Elaine's new boss J. Peterman (John O'Hurley) and boyfriend, and face painter, David Puddy (Patrick Warburton). In addition to being able to watch these original network versions (1-2 minutes longer then on syndication) and cast member commentaries, this set includes three of Eric Yahnker "Sein-Imation" - classic Seinfeld scenes reimagined in animation. --Rob Bracco

Has there ever been a better show?
Some of the classics include The Chinese Woman, whose advice is taken by Mrs. Costanza until she learns the woman is NOT Chinese. The Couch, when George is too lazy to read a book (Breakfast at Tiffany's) and so goes to a stranger's house to watch the movie.....this is one of my personal favorites of the show. The Fusilli Jerry is uproarious......"'It was a million to one shot, doc, million to one." The Jimmy is another classic, with Kramer getting dental work and being mistaken for.....well, if you watch Seinfeld, you know;-)
Some other episodes:
The Chaperone- Kramer tries to help Miss Rhode Island prepare for a pageant, while at the same time Jerry is dating her. Her birds are killed in her hotel room which she was going to use for her talent act, and instead she must resort to singing, which she does not do very well(an understatement). George suggests that the New York Yankees switch to all cotton uniforms and the uniforms shrink (George=shrinkage again!). Elaine gets a new job and we meet Mr. Pitt.
The Mango- Kramer gets banned from his favorite produce store and so he has Jerry get the produce for him. Jerry learns that Elaine had faked her orgasms and tries to talk Elaine into giving him one time to redeem himself.
The Stall- In a bathroom stall Elaine discovers that she has no toilet paper so she asks the woman in the next stall for a piece(Can you spare a square?). The woman next to her refuses.....only later does she learn that this woman is actually Jerry's girlfriend.
The Scofflaw- Newman is helped by Cramer inadvertently to escape from a cop who has caught the "white whale", a scofflaw the cop has been trying to catch for years for illegal parking.
The Chinese Woman- After lines are crossed, Mrs. Costanza receives advice from Jerry's girlfriend late one night while talking on the phone, and because of it, does not want a divorce. After she learns the woman who gave he the advice is NOT Chinese but is using a shortened name which sounds Chinese, she says 'this changes everything!' Kramer's sperm count is low and he must go from briefs to boxers but he does not want to as his "boys need a house." Many memorable lines from this one.
The Face Painter- Elaine dates David Putty, who paints his face in team colors for hockey games.....the colors for the devils. The face painting is embarassing to Elaine, Jerry, and offends a priest in a taxi. Kramer gets into a fight with a monkey at the zoo when the monkey throws a bannana peel at him and then he throws it back. The monkey then goes into a deep depression(he stops his autoerotic functioning) and the zoo blames Kramer.
The Couch- George is too lazy to read a book (Breakfast at Tiffany's) for his book club and so goes to a stranger's house to watch the movie after he peers over the counter at the video rental store to see who has the movie.....once there, we see the truly obnoxious side of George Costanza. Grape juice on the couch......I mean, can he be any more obnoxious? This is one of my personal favorites for both the season and the show.
Best quotes:
"What's so great about a mom and pop store? Let me tell you something, if my mom and pop ran a store I wouldn't shop there." - George, in "The Mom and Pop Store"
"Have you ever met a proctologist? They usually have a very good sense of humor. You meet a proctologist at a party, don't walk away. Plant yourself there because you will hear the funniest stories you've ever heard. See, no one wants to admit to them that they stuck something up there. Never. It's always an accident. Every proctologist story ends in the same way... 'It was a million to one shot, doc, million to one.' "
-Kramer, from The Fusilli Jerry

Friggin Hilarious!
Season six marks the shows transition from hillarious to friggin hilarious. These episodes are all classics. I don't even want to list them becuase I know I'll leave some out. Take my word for it. If you are s fan of Seinfeld, buy these DVDs! The "Inside Looks" on most of the episodes are great. Each set comes with it's own full-length (well....kinda full length) documentary about some aspect of the show. Not to mention, comercial free Seinfeld is sublime. If you're not aqcuianted with the show, watch a few episodes on TBS. Who knows, you might just become a fan. For me, there is nothing like first popping in each disc to watch the episodes for the first time on DVD. As Jerry says when he sees George's handicapped bathroom, "Xanadu!"
Season Six 'Seinfeld' at Its Best
Season Six is my favorite season of Seinfeld, episode for episode. The fantastic four began to change a little this season, as they each took on a little more edge, becoming all around less 'friendsy.' Season six hit the perfect note as far as character development -- Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine were in their sitcom prime. The following years, the last two to three seasons of Seinfeld, after co-creator Larry David departed, the characters almost became charicatures of themselves -- the show was still very good and quite funny, but I feel Season Six was the last truly great stand, episode for episode.
The scripts from this season were just brilliant. Retired stand-up comic and familiar working actor Fred Stoller joined the staff for 'Six' and penned 'The Soup' -- Seinfeld at its finest (this episode introduced a one Kenny Bana.) Stoller, a Jewish New Yorker himself, was always a favorite stand-up of mine to catch on TV in the late 1980s and was a natural staffer for Larry David's unique style of sitcom. He also storied out 'The Face Painter' with David, and Stoller himself can be seen in the crowd at the hockey game on this particular episode. Stoller (perhaps most recognizable to the sitcom crowd as Ray's whiney cousin on 'ELR') would later have a guest role as Fred Yerkes, a date of Elaine's.
I recommend Season Six as a keeper for any true Seinfeld fan
