This episode of Seinfeld centres on George Costanza trying to preserve his historical high score on a gaming console "Frogger" while moving it from his childhood pizza joint. To preserve the score, he needs to make sure it doesn't lose power. So he gets help from a couple of dodgy dudes including a character played by the great Peter Stormare. It's a pretty darned funny episode and one that is befitting of the final season, which was otherwise a bit lacklustre in relative terms compared to the prior seasons. The funniest moment for me of course is where George crosses the road through traffic with the game, akin to an actual game of Frogger.
April 24, 1998- Police Commissioner Howard Safir announced two arrests today at a hastily scheduled press conference. "I want to congratulate the tireless officers who worked on this case," Safir said. "I also want to single out Sgt. Cathy Tierny for her efforts to put an end to the terror in Riverside Park."
In a shocking twist, one of the two suspects shares a name with one of the city's most notorious serial killers. Joel Rifkin was arrested outside a Manhattan restaurant without major incident this morning. Bystander reports indicate Rifkin began vomiting violently as he was being led to a police vehicle, at which point he began screaming the cryptic phrase "12 years, 12 years!"
The other suspect, Art Corvelay, was apprehended inside the same restaurant where Rifkin was captured. Corvelay had been missing for several years after his escape from the psychiatric ward at St. Luke's-Roosevelt hospital. Sometimes referred to as "the pig man" due to his unusual facial features, Corvelay's arrest was also without major incident.
Police arrived on the scene when a 911 caller complained of a disturbance at Mario's, a neighborhood pizzeria. Apparently the two suspects got into a dispute with the proprietor over a missing Frogger video game.
More on this story as it develops.

This episode is dumb or thinks its fans are dumb. Not including me because I am not a fan.
George and the Frogger segment makes no sense. Are you telling me New York didn't have a power outrage for 15+ years? Or the pizza shop didn't rearrange or clean where they had to unplug the machine?
Uh... Anyways
March 27th of 2023rd in 21st Century.
What happened in this episode?: George wants to save a game because he has a record.
Elaine doesn't like the force cake social
Kramer uses police tape.
Jerry dates a hot sentence finisher
The story and the production overview: An alright episode. Apparently, Elaine's cake scenes and Jerry's hot girl saves the episode.
Frogger segment was cringe. Sketchy peoples are not funny.
Highlight: Frogger road scene. It was creative. Other Walter arriving late to sing the get well song.
Villain: Elaine's co-workers for being annoying with cake.
Girlfriend attractiveness level: Jerry's girl is a 9. She has that chipmunk face but with a long neck...still she hot... hope she's an actual red head cuz she was blaze'n.
What can be learned?: It's just a game
Verdict: This frogger didn't make it home.

Someone said that he didn't like the episode because the Frogger machine would have been unplugged or lose power at some point. So this is Seinfeld and someone is treating it as if it were a serious drama! Anyway, George had the highest score years previously, so he buys the machine but doesn't think about it losing its list of high scores if unplugged. The humor is in the two guys that Kramer gets for him to bring the thing to his apartment. Jerry is with this gorgeous girl (one of the prettiest of all) and is annoyed that she finishes his sentences. He also is in fear of the the "Lopper," a serial killer who lops off people's heads. Then we have Elaine, who takes Peterman's cake out of the fridge and eats it. It was a historical piece of cake from the wedding of Edward and Wallace Simpson. The ending is pretty sadd.
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to the official Twin Galaxies' world rankings, George's (Jason Alexander) Frogger high score of 860,630 would have at the time been the #1 score in the world. As of 2015, it would rank #3.
- GoofsRegarding the "correction" on the power outage of 1977 wiping out the high score: Frogger wasn't invented until 1981, so this cannot be true.
- Quotes
George Costanza: Kramer, listen to me. I'm never gonna have a child. If I lose this Frogger high score, that's it for me.
