Twenty-five years ago this Saturday, “Seinfeld” debuted on NBC.

One of my favorites of the latter day bizarro episodes is Kramer deciding that the best way to commute in Manhattan is by swimming in the rivers. He dons a frog man outfit and is then seen swimming against the tide in the Hudson, getting out at 34th Street sometimes, other times the Upper East Side...

Castanza gets word over the phone that his test was negative.... He gets quasi-hysterical.... "Why!? Why?! Why!?"

And my favorite Kramer scene:"Why don't you just tell me the movie you want to see?"

Soup is not a meal.

What are you, some kind of soup nazi?

If you crumble crackers in it, it COULD be a meal.
