THe show really solidified what it was in this season. This was also when the ratings started to pour in and everyone began to know about the show. George is really funny by this point with his neurosis. Then again they all have that which makes it even more better.Classic - eli_quincy
It says something when even the show's two-word episode descriptions can immediately bring a smile to my face. Season 4 continues the classic show's brilliant run with a series of amazing episodes -- my favourites being the two-parter "The Pilot" which close the year, and cleverly parallel the real experiences Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David had getting this show off the ground.Perfect! - Pr0metheus
it was season four where the show really hit its stride and became the pop culture phenomenon that we know it as today.
The middle of season four saw NBC move Seinfeld to Thursday nights, the biggest night in television on every network. With Cheers set to leave the airwaves the following season, NBC executives were grooming the show to replace the venerable Cheers in the 9 p.m. time slot, a key to the whole Thursday night lineup.
And the move paid off. Seinfeld was pure gold in season four. Episodes that will always be remembered as classics happened in season four. The Contest, The Junior Mint, The Implants, the Smelly Car, The Handicapped Spot, The Bubble Boy. All of these episodes were fantastic and will go down in history as some of the greatest episodes of comedic television of the 1990s.
Where as Seinfeld was still growing in popularity at the start of the season, by the end, it was a full blown hit and NBC knew it, giving creators Seinfeld and Larry David more leeway to do a lot of things, particularly in The Contest episode, a full half-hour focusing on being "Master of My Domain."
To me, that episode is one of my favorite episodes of all time and I found myself cracking up as I sat in my apartment watching the hilarity ensue.
This season also follows Jerry (as himself) and George (Jason Alexander) as they go bring their television pilot through the paces at NBC. The network president falls in love with Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and leaves his post to work for Greenpeace to try and impress her, leaving the pilot to die on the network floor. Of course it is through the pilot that George meets Susan (Guest star Heidi Swedberg), his on again, off again girlfriend through a number of seasons, despite the hell that is having a relationship with George.
Elaine begins the year in Paris with her therapist boyfriend, but returns to her usual relationship drama, including a mistaken case of BO, brought on by a smelly valet
