Seinfeld: Good News, Bad News (1989)
Distinctly, the first episode
As soon as the episode begins, it's obvious that this is the first episode. The credits are different. The nightclub is different. There is more stand-up than usual. The restaurant is very different. No booths! Jerry's apartment building is different. His apartment is nearly the same.
Jerry worries that a guest is coming from out of town. A female guest. He thinks he should clean the bathroom. George says: Filth is good! You think rock stars have soap and ammonia lying around? (Take a look at the memorable quotes.)
They meet Laura as she gets off the plane. She gets seductively comfortable at his place, requesting wine and an extra night.
And it goes on from there. It ends with a good bit of stand-up.
Overall, a good episode. Although without Elaine, it doesn't feel like the whole show. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was a great addition with Elaine, starting in the next episode.
