Storyline

When George notices that Elaine's new boyfriend reads the Daily Worker, he asks if he's a Communist. He says he is, which Elaine seems to wear as a badge of honor. Thanks to his friend Mickey, Kramer gets a job as a department store Santa. Things start out okay but veer off after he reads some literature from Elaine's boyfriend. George answers a personal ad in the Daily Worker and soon everyone in the Yankees front office thinks he's a Communist. Jerry meanwhile learns that his new girlfriend's boss is an old high school rival he once beat at a track meet and has accused him of cheating ever since. Written by garykmcd

"Maybe he's just very well... red?"

Season 6, Episode 10, "The Race"

"The Race" is probably my favorite episode in the 6th season of Seinfeld, and one of the few episodes in the season that relies on a intricate, tight script rather than comedic acting alone. All the separate plot lines interconnect and relate fantastically, all the while taking a pretty gutsy (even in the 90's) approach to the central theme of communism and the black lists.

The main cast are all terrific - Jerry particularly does well here - but props should go to the supporters too. Danny Woodburn makes a wonderful return as Kramer's friend Mickey; Renee Props and Todd Kimsey are great as Jerry and Elaine's boy/girlfriends-of-the-week; while experienced character actor Don McManus is hilarious as Jerry's high school rival. In addition, Larry David reprises his role as the voice of George Steinbrenner, and creates a running gag that will last for the next two-and-a-half seasons to great effect.
