The Old Man 2/18/93 George and the gang, sans Kramer, try to fill a void by volunteering to help the elderly. George's old pal--Ben Cantwell, walks out on him because George is constantly thinking about death. He also reveals that he wants to meet a woman who doesn't speak English.

The Implant 2/25/93 Betsy is his girlfriend this time and we learn that George can't go left. But he really likes her and finds a way into her heart when her aunt dies.

The Junior Mint 3/18/93 George forgets he invested in Lincoln Savings Bank and now has $1900 to blow. He also rents Home Alone because he was lost when he saw Home Alone 2. He stays at Jerry's to watch it and when Jerry returns, he finds George crying! But still looking for a scheme, he buys $1900 worth of triangle boy's art--which saves his life (or was it the Junior Mint?).

The Smelly Car 4/15/93 George finds out that Susan has turned lesbian when he tries to return "Rochelle Rochelle" at the video store. He didn't rewind the tape and the store is going to charge him $3.49 ($2 for rewinding!), so he keeps it another night. He goes with Jerry to the restaurant to complain about the valet's rampant B.O. (B.B.O. is what George calls it). The tape is stolen and it costs $98 to replace. Lesbianism also turns him on and he's interested in Susan. But when they are having lunch at Monk's, they run into Allison. Susan and Allison then hook up and George has driven two women to lesbianism.

The Handicap Spot 5/13/93 In the original airing of this episode, John Randolph plays Frank Costanza, he is replaced by Jerry Stiller in syndication and later shows. George theorizes that good looking women walk fast. The gang jumps into Frank's car to get a present for the Drake's engagement--they end up with a big screen TV. However, they park in a handicap spot which indirectly causes a handicapped woman to crash her wheelchair. The car also gets trashed by an angry mob. So George and Kramer chip in to buy a used wheelchair for the lady, which of course fails. The woman crashes and Frank, who was just named humanitarian of the year, tells George to pick up a big screen TV (the Drake's TV). The gang pick up and bring it to the mall for a refund and park next to a fire hydrant. Interesting ironic note: Frank orders George to be his butler--just like the spoof TV show!

The Pilot 5/20/93 One of the great episodes. George reveals that sweatpants equals comfort. Jerry begs to differ. George becomes extremely worried about success and believes it could never happen. This manifests itself in George believing he has cancer because of a discoloration of his lip (white spot). He also obsesses on the actor who plays Kramer, whom he thinks has stolen a box of raisins. George's cancer worries turn out to be false, but the show is cancelled and success is ripped from George again. Fact: Michael Barth is credited as playing George in the spoof show.
