It's 1992, and Seinfeld is in full swing with its fourth season on cable TV, and it releases the most talked-about episode, "The Contest." Released as the 51st overall episode for the sitcom, Seinfeld and David had to come up with a few euphemisms for the overall storyline concept. The episode focused on Jerry, Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), George (Jason Alexander), and Kramer (Michael Richards) entering a contest amongst themselves after George is caught by his mother in a promiscuous encounter with a Glamour magazine.
The episode soon focused on each character's struggles of staying in the contest, with Kramer having been the first to cave, and then Elaine when she learns John F. Kennedy Jr. is interested in her. Jerry, on the other hand, happens to be dating a virgin during the whole ordeal. By the end of the episode, it's believed that George won the infamous contest, and it's later debunked during the Seinfeld two-part series finale.
"The Contest" ended up being a hit, and David won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series. The episode's long-lasting popularity and impressive writing led it to be ranked as one of the "best TV episodes of all time" by Rolling Stone. It landed at No. 5, with it being reported to have been watched, at the time, by over 18.5 million people. It was also said that David fought for the episode to be aired, but NBC already knew it was going to be a hit.
The Top 5 list of the best TV episodes also includes "The College" from The Sopranos at No. 4, The Leftovers with "International Assassin" at No. 3, The Simpsons with "Last Exit to Springfield" at No. 2, and Breaking Bad's "Ozymandias" landing at No.1.
