Festivis episode of Seinfeld ("The Break") on TBS Thursday night, 9:00PM EST.

For a good start to the weekend, please post opinions and thoughts on your favorite Seinfeld episode.

I look around me everyday and I see beautiful women. It could be very tempting to go out and date them. Going out every weekend to the clubs and picking up an assortment of chicks like so many kinds of chocolates in a Valentine's Day gift. But I will not! It has taken me years, but I am finally getting over the lasting effects of "Seinfeld." Yes, "Seinfeld." What is considered the greatest show/sitcom of all time has also been the biggest plague/curse on my life. Students currently attending the University are part of the "Seinfeld" generation. Society has branded...

Gotta love the 'Sein...

The Center for Consumer Freedom warns in our latest ad -- featuring the actor who played the "Soup Nazi" on Seinfeld -- that if calorie cops have their way, you could be forced into the Salad Line! (To see the ad, click here.) While this fictional food cop measures each customer's weight to determine what, if anything, restaurant-goers can enjoy, there is actually a real-world food "Czarina" taking away treats from Texas schoolchildren. She's just one of the food fascists who think you're too dumb to make your own choices. If these diet scolds have their way, we may all...

LOS ANGELES - The Walt Disney Co. is planning a management shake-up at its fourth-place ABC network to stem a ratings slide and placate dissatisfied investors. The moves include the departure of Lloyd Braun, who has served as chairman of the ABC Entertainment Television Group since 2002, according to company sources familiar with the matter. Meanwhile, Anne Sweeney, a rising star credited with expanding the reach of Disney's non-sports cable networks, will likely be given a more prominent role at the struggling network, sources said. The changes are seen as an effort to buy more time for a Disney recovery...

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) - Comedian Jerry Seinfeld, known for his long-running show "about nothing," gave nothing but rain checks to fans at a sold-out show Saturday. When they arrived for the 7 p.m. show at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, they learned that Seinfeld had postponed his performance until Nov. 13, citing circumstances beyond his control. Seinfeld's representatives did not give specifics. "He's playing a practical joke on us," one fan said when she heard the news. Others holding some of the 3,200, $45 to $75 tickets went straight to being miffed. "That's ridiculous," said Steven Scherer, who had spent heavily on...

Seinfeld star Jason Alexander, who played George Costanza on the hit comedy, intends to visit Israel on February 24, in order to promote the One Voice peace initiative. Alexander will attend a press conference with One Voice founder Daniel Lubetzky officially launching a binational referendum among Israelis and Palestinians about what concessions they would be willing to make for peace. Describing himself as "a Jew with warm feelings for Israel," Alexander said he hopes his visit would "attract attention to the silent majority among Israelis and Palestinians who want peace."

Social conservatives are working overtime to argue that gay marriage would imperil straight matrimony. They say that if Jack and Joe were united, till death do them part, they would jeopardize husbands and wives, from sea to shining sea. "We will lose marriage in this nation," without constitutionally limiting it to heterosexuals, warns Family Research Council president Tony Perkins. The Traditional Values Coalition, meanwhile, sees "same-sex marriage as a way of destroying the concept of marriage altogether." It would be far easier to take these claims seriously if gay-marriage critics spent as much energy denouncing irresponsible heterosexuals whose behavior undermines...

A Dutch football club has banned one of its fans for posing for a photograph with the local mayor with his penis hanging out. Mayor Wim Deetman did not realise the ADO Den Haag fan was exposing himself when he agreed to have his picture taken with him. He had just come from a meeting with club directors and gladly posed arm in arm with the fan who was clutching a bottle of beer. It was only later, when the picture was circulated on the internet, that Mayor Deetman realised he had been set up. He is now taking legal...

Actor Jason Alexander, who is best known for playing George Contanza on NBC's Seinfeld, announced on Sunday that he intends to come to Israel as early as February, in order to promote the One Voice grassroots peace initiative. The initiative seeks to find common ground between the 'silent majority' of Israelis and Palestinians on a two-state solution to the conflict. The program has also been endorsed by boxer Muhammad Ali, and actors Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Edward Norton, Danny DeVito, and Rhea Perlman. In an interview with Channel 2, Alexander described himself as a "lover of Israel," and that he...

Posted on Fri, May. 30, 2003 Kneel! It's the King of Rude Larry David's vulgar. He's cranky. And he can't change a tire. Finally, a hero for our time! By Douglas Perry Star-Telegram Staff Writer Larry David is a man who sticks to his principles, regardless of the bizarre outcome. I want to be Larry David. Yes, that's right, the annoying guy on HBO. Sure, David is bald and schlubby. True, few people like him -- and a lot of people downright can't stand him. But it's worth all that. And not because the Seinfeld co-creator is worth about a...

<p>Larry David: Turned rash decision into a "Seinfeld" episode.</p> <p>May 30, 2003 -- LARRY David's TV career might have ended way back in 1985 if it hadn't been for Kramer. That would be the real Kramer - David's then-neighbor Kenny Kramer, who gave David some timely advice that saved his job and, possibly, paved the way for David's two landmark sitcoms, "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."</p>

When Will Iraq Go Pop? by Jason Gay They now have Americans troops patrolling their neighborhoods, American-supplied radio on their airwaves, and pretty soon they’ll have Tom Brokaw, too, stentorially rhapsodizing on their rabbit-eared televisions. But is Iraq ready for Seinfeld? The American media campaign in Iraq is well underway, of course, even without Jerry. It began with psychological-warfare radio messages urging Iraqi soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender. After Baghdad fell, a specially outfitted military aircraft continued to fly over the region, broadcasting public-service announcements and reassuring, look-into-your-eyeballs addresses from President George W. Bush and British Prime...

Return of Today Sponge may spur bulk buying by loyal users After 8-year hiatus, popular contraceptive is available online 03/05/2003 Associated Press ALLENDALE, N.J. - The Today Sponge contraceptive is back on the market, eight years after it disappeared from U.S. drugstore shelves in an alarming turn famously depicted on a Seinfeld episode. The return of the sponge is expected to lead to bulk buying - and perhaps more spontaneous romance - among its fiercely loyal users. Allendale Pharmaceuticals, a start-up business in New Jersey, bought rights to Today Sponge from the drug company that discontinued it. Allendale began...

For the hell of it... I'm conducting a survey. What was your favorite Seinfeld episode? I need a good laugh.

Tainted "Seinfeld" Rerun Pulled by Mark Armstrong Oct 29, 2001, 1:30 PM PT Sometimes, even a show about nothing can be deemed inappropriate. Add Seinfeld reruns to the list of entertainment that has been reviewed, rescheduled or reworked in the wake of September 11. With anthrax scares shaking up mailrooms up and down the East Coast, Columbia TriStar Television has yanked an old episode of the sitcom, in which George Costanza's fiancée dies from licking tainted wedding invitations. The episode, titled "The Invitations," first aired in May 1996 and features George doing his darndest to get his girlfriend Susan to ...

Jerry Seinfeld has always steadfastly denied being the prankster. The letters started arriving in the mid-1990s - courteous, neatly-typed missives showing up in the in-trays of hotel managers, tourist attractions and airline customer-service departments across the United States. In some cases, the writer was a prospective guest with special requirements - would it be all right if he dressed as a giant shrimp while gambling at the blackjack tables of the Flamingo Hilton Inn in Las Vegas, for example? (The answer was no, by the way: "We feel that because of the high level of activity created by the outfit,...

Jerry Seinfeld may air-lift some laughs to Israel. The master of his own domain is hatching a comic shuttle mission to the war-weary land in the form of a benefit concert there. But while fellow joker Larry Miller proclaimed decisively on HBO's "Dennis Miller Show" the other night that he and Seinfeld are headed for Israel in a matter of weeks, don't pack the babka yet. "Larry and Jerry have talked about it," Seinfeld's rep tells us. "We're going to figure out if it's something that's possible. Right now, there's nothing definite set." Jerry Seinfeld One Seinfeld pal says, "It...
