Seinfeld: Season 06 (1995)

With five brilliant seasons in the can (including the now-legendary seasons four and five), Seinfeld keeps up the pace, and then some, as the series enters its sixth year on the air. Things get off to a lively start with "The Chaperone," in which Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) persuades Kramer (Michael Richards) to act as the title character during his date with Miss Rhode Island, Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) meets the "white socks guy" at Doubleday, and George (Jason Alexander) suggest that New York Yankees start wearing cotton uniforms. Can it get any better? How about, "The Pledge Drive," the one in which Elaine's boss eats his Snickers with a knife and Jerry nearly brings down PBS thanks to a misdirected finger. But wait, there's more! Consider Kramer's method of changing his sperm count in "The Chinese Woman." Or Seinfeld's contribution to NBC's famous "Blackout Thursday" (November 3, 1994), an in-depth look at George's bathroom habits titled "The Gymnast." Or Elaine's appearance on a Chinese restaurant "blacklist" and Jerry's "Superman moment" in "The Race." And how about "The Jimmy," with the guy who can't stop talking about himself in the third person (no, it's not Mel Tormé, though he's in the same episode). Season six calls it quits with another first-rate episode, "The Understudy," which explains why George and Jerry should never play softball with Bette Midler. ~ Rovi
