I work at the GE building in Rockefeller Plaza, and I have access to their digital archives. That’s as much as I can divulge. We also have the entire original Seinfeld series in multiple formats, including original reels and VHS tapes. I noticed an episode with the production code “607” was missing from the tape set, and it was relocated in a set of old news reels. The replacement episode “The Mom and Pop Store” was filmed a season later to replace the missing episode. It is oddly titled “The Mason”. The episode starts out as normal, with Jerry’s apartment, but the camera is much more steady. Jerry walks out as though he’s been drugged and remarks that all of his family and friends have been dying lately. His buzzer rings and it’s George. George runs up, half crying and tells Jerry he’s seen something terrible. He’s mumbling and stuttering for about five minutes until he can form a sentence. There are still pauses for humor, but there is no audience or laugh track. George informs Jerry that planes have crashed into the twin towers due to a terrorist attack on New York. Jerry turns on the news and you can see modern footage of the 9/11 attacks, all pré-filmed several years beforehand. George says that isn't the worst part: Elaine and Kramer were in the towers at the time of the bombing. What proceeds is a graphic and explicit phone call of screaming and crying and Kramer saying that something terrible has happened, and Elaine is dead. Kramer screams there’s no air in the building, and he’s burning to death, and that he’s going to jump. The camera cuts to live footage of a man falling from the twin towers. George genuinely looks upset and says “I’m sorry Larry, but I can’t go through with this” and he tries to walk off the set, but people stop him and push him towards the stage. He walks out Jerry’s prop window and you can hear him calling his agent. There’s a lot of mumbling, and you can see candles being lit behind the stage. Jerry goes over to the bookcase and pulls it aside, revealing a ceremonial black table with candles, a dinner plate, and a strange box. There is a Masonic symbol against black cloth just outside where the fake stage window would be. Jerry says some weird things in a foreign dialect, and one cut of the camera shows a poster of Barack Obama (This episode originally aired in 1995). The scene ends with Jerry waking up in bed, as though it’s all a nightmare. Kramer comes in and asks if Jerry has seen a lizard. Jerry laughs and says “We are the lizards” and the camera zooms slightly. His eyes become slivered, like almonds. The tape is only 7 minutes long, and what proceeds is just 20 minutes of dead air. If you continue watching to the end, it seems there are three more news reports tacked on. The first is about an outbreak of swine flu, the second about a train bombing, and the third...

Other sitcoms in this era were in the midst of Very Special Episodes, and heartwarming stories where Ross learns an important lesson about being a father, and Seinfeld had the balls to put a laugh track over George's fiance dying from licking 1000 poison envelopes. Thats nothing I devoted the entire year of 1992 to masturbation.

Seinfeld was funny and I automatically lose respect for someone when they tell me that "they didn't get it." Especially if they're fans of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," which is brilliant. Jerry Seinfeld didn't make the show good. The writing and the rest of the cast did.

Saying you get it and still don't enjoy it is acceptable. Usually people either say they love it or HATE it though.

I loved The Opposite except for Jerry's plot. You have George going bananas on everyone, Kramer ruining his book tour and Elaine getting kicked out of her building but the Jerry even steven thing was pretty dumb.

When my (old and retired) parents are visiting me, Seinfeld reruns on TBS are about the only agreeable thing we can all watch together my dad only wants to watch war movies on Netflix, but he's seen them all a zillion times (because he is old) so he complains that there's nothing on there to watch my mom will ask to watch It's Always Sunny if he's off doing something and laughs her rear end off
