Often I rewatch episodes of Seinfeld. It's a very rewatchable show. The only problem with rewatching it is that many times just reading the episode title alone is enough to evoke the entire storyline in your memory. For example: the episode "The Chinese Restaurant." Just from the title you remember "Oh, that was the time everyone got stuck in a Chinese restaurant waiting for a table before a movie, and George is trying to call some girl but gets in a conflict with other people using the pay phone, and Elaine gets really hungry so Jerry bets her she won't take food off someone else's table." I don't recall Kramar playing much of a role in that one. It's not a bad episode, but it's so distinctly memorable. No point in rewatching that one.
On the other hand, today I have a great moment when I watched the episode "the Robbery" and discovered that it's the one when Jerry and George argue about who should get a fancy new apartment. I had naturally thought that this plot line was from the episode "The Apartment." So if not that, then what really happens in the episode "the Apartment"? A new adventure awaits!
