The Seinfeld Episode NBC Tried To Stop: How “The Chinese Restaurant” Became A Classic

I still can’t believe how groundbreaking “The Chinese Restaurant” episode was! Jerry, Elaine, and George just spend the whole time waiting for a table – it’s basically set entirely in one place. Apparently, NBC almost didn’t even air it! Now, everyone considers it one of the best Seinfeld episodes ever and a huge part of what made the show so special. It’s amazing how far it’s come!
