Seinfeld. Season 9, Episode 15. "The Wizard" A blink-and-you-miss-it appearance from Constance Zimmer! Nice. She is awesome. Even in this early role. Anyway, this is a wonderful episode giving us more stories from the crazy world that this show portrays. Jerry and Kramer are down in Florida caught up in the chaos of elections in Del Boca Vista and Elaine is dating a guy who may-or-may-not be black. She's not sure and is determined to find out without directly asking him. Julia Louis-Dreyfus looks even more classy and beautiful with every passing episode, by the way.
But the special insanity of this episode belongs to George. He has lied to Susan's parents about having a house in The Hamptons. They find out, but do not challenge the lie. Then he finds out about this deception and decides to up the ante: by offering to drive them out to see the house. They, of course, accept. What follows is comedy gold. Painfully funny, watching George drive the scowling couple on a never-ending journey to a place that does not exist, while everyone in the car continually spouts lies and waits for the other party to blink first. Pure genius. And another example of why George Costanza is the best sit-com character of all time.
Seinfeld. Season 9, Episode 16. "The Burning" Small guest shot from Daniel Dae Kim and a return visit from George's disinterested boss Kruger (Daniel von Bargen). George has some great material in this one, but his boss gets all the best laughs.
Highlight? Seinfeld (George and Susan's parents)
