but all of those episodes have a problem, or something to revolve the episode around, or at least some sort of premise: The troubles one can run into when looking for a car in a parking garage. What would happen if the gang went to a dealership. How to beat the traffic from a parade (although this episode has less structure than most, and abandons the problem halfway through) The scenes are not completely random.

Thanks for agreeing with me. I think what happens is that Art, you expect too much of an episode from the second season. True, The Chinese Restaurant was a masterpiece, but the odd one out of the season. At this point of time the show was still one of its kind & experimented with various ideas, if you treat The Ex-Girlfriend appropriately you'll see that it's far from being as horrible as you described it. Also, George not caring is believable, because as the episode courses we can see how annoying she is.

I know George not caring is believable, that doesn't make it funny. I already said that this episode was TOO MUCH like real life. I know it's the second season......I don't care. If viewed on an equal plane as all the rest, it is by far the worst. I'm looking at it completely objectively, I'm not gonna cut some slack to an episode from the first or second season...why should I do that? I'm ranking episodes on their quality, completely disregarding when they originally aired. The fact is, that the episodes got better as the show progressed, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't say that an episode isn't bad because it aired early.

Also, the fact is, I think this ep is worse than all the season 1 eps. Therefore, even if its season 2, shouldn't it have been better than season 1? Technically, yes. But I already told you I'm completely disregarding that in my opinion.

no one has been able to answer my original question of why Jerry's voice is so high and whiny in most of season 1. Has anyone else even noticed this?

He's a "high talker" and a bit of a "fancy boy." Maybe he's a woman?

He's one those pretty boy celebrity types, it's always about him.

I think it's just part of anybody's journey as an actor. All of the other actors played their parts much differently at the beginning than at the end. Jerry is no different.

i find the first series really slow.. the episodes don't seem to have two or three stories going through them, like they did in the 'normal' ones.
i like the ones set in the same place the whole time - the chinese restaurant, the parking garage, the dealership, the peurto rican day..
sorry if i've said something that's already been discussed, i forgot to read the second and third pages

Seinfeld is indeed a very unique show. I can only account for such a vast spectrum of opinions from fans in the fact that the show went through so many different phases and appealed to all sorts of brands of humour. When I hear things like, "the show got better every season" and I think to myself that the show essentially got a little bit worse every season following season two, because it lost its roots and slowly became more mainstream, I realize that saying you are a 'Seinfeld fan' leaves a lot of room for further decription of what you find funny.
