The Best 'Seinfeld' Episode Tournament @Fox Sports
Fox Sports website has a March Madness style bracket to vote for the best Seinfeld episode.
Just went up yesterday so it is still in the first round.
They started with 32 eps instead of 64 so a lot of good ones have been left out.
If you go vote, do me a solid and show little love to The Merv Griffin Show and The Bizarro Jerry.

It's all about matchups, and those 2 episodes are great, but face some stiff competition.

The Summer of George is an underrated episode. The Bubble Boy also got a surprisingly low rank. If they didn't want to bias the votes, they shouldn't have "ranked" each episode and given them seeds. In fact, looking at all six seeds, I think they purposely designed the brackets for some upsets.

The Betrayal...thought the one in reverse where they went to India is on of the more brilliant eps of tv ever.

They should expand the pool and include the finale. I hated it when it was first aired but thinking about it and rewatching it years later, I really appreciate what it was. It should be a low seed upsetting a high seed just for fun.

I didn't care for The Chinese Restaurant. Always turn the channel when it comes on.
The only tough one for me was Merv Griffin vs. The Hamptons
My favorite episode is The Burning.. not in bracket.

I'd like to think that after 15 years off the air, fans might be tired of the conventional wisdom and the episode that has Frank inspired by the girl from The Bus, Lloyd Braun getting chalked up on The Big Board, Kramer living in Anytown USA, Jerry proposing to Elaine, Elaine fighting her shiksappeal, and George scaring Jerry straight has a puncher's chance of taking down The Contest.
The Serenity Now is a GREAT episode.

Huge 8/9 apologist here. It's blasphemous to suggest any post-David episode could be in the running for all-time best.
If there's an episode that deserves to dethrone The Contest it's The Marine Biologist.

I was perfect in my picks until I got to the Elaine region.
I got the first pick, but then lost the final 3.
As for snubs, how in the hell is The Implant not there? I mean it has both George double dipping the chip and "they're real and they're spectacular!"

The Contest is a bit overrated at this point. It has the most memorable punchline of any episode and one of the raunchiest premises from the series going for it, but there are funnier episodes.

Whenever a tournament for Worst episode of Seinfeld is created, I guarantee that "The Finale" will be in it (and probably the odds-on favorite).

Yeah I agree. I think it may be the most infamous episode of the series and one that everyone knows but I wouldn't even put it in my favorite episodes to be honest.
