Season 4
Another season with a year-long subplot (George and Jerry pitching a show about nothing to the networks), strung together by a brain-blasting number of classic episodes that resulted in the show’s only Emmy for Oustanding Comedy Series. In Season 4, we meet the Bubble Boy, learn how not to pitch a network sitcom, dodge death threats from Joe Davola, and learn that John F. Kennedy Jr. has a way with virgins. The undisputed heavyweight champ of Seinfeld seasons.
Standout episode: The Contest may be the single best episode of television comedy ever. The fact that Larry David could build an episode around a masturbation contest, not even mention the word “masturbation,” and win a writing Emmy for his trouble? Truly a master of his domain.
