All good choices. I will add Mr.Bookman, who had one of the greatest scenes in the history of the show.

Frank Costanza and Puddy should also be excluded if Newman is. Come on Era we can do better than this.
The Maestro
Jackie Chiles
Mickey
Poppie
Tim Watley
Susan's dad
And don't sleep on Jerry's parents. Some great moments from them as well.

Jerry's parents are so perfect. Very underrated. Uncle Leo as well.
You could make a "Top 10 Greatest Sitcom Characters" ranking, fill it exclusively with characters from Seinfeld, and you'd probably be right.
Anyway, another vote for Frank.

Uncle Leo was also a great side character in Everub Loves Raymond.
You want that Silver FoxSomething about Peterman's airs... I just loved. xD

Here's a flash for ya, joyboy: The correct answer is Bookman.
But I am shocked that nobody's even mentioned Morty Seinfeld yet.

Frank.
I remember recently looking him up (researching the actor change to Jerry) and being shocked at how late he came into the show (multiple seasons in) and how few episodes. Absolute scene stealer.
Peterman is probably runner up.
But man is the show full of great side characters. Besides the lack of diversity it's incredible.

Oh man how could I forget Uncle Leo!? I guess I am an old man and got confused. He's a scene stealer and the ongoing jokes about "your cousin Jeffrey" are so apt.
Yes! Scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page to find this! Love every moment of George Steinbrenner.
Apart from the obvious ones, I quite like Uncle Leo because I have an uncle just like that and everything is so true.

And the best character on The King of Queens.
Edit: Beaten with the gif.
This cracks me up so much.
It's one of a small handful of things that I have to stop and watch every time I come across it.
A young lady I know, let's call her Elaine, happened to find herself overwhelmed with feelings of resentment and hostility for her friend, let's call him George...

Thought about finally watching this. I want to watch Curb, but feel I owe it to Larry David to watch Seinfeld first.
When does it start getting good, you know, when does it become Seinfeld?

I love Kruger. The episode he copies George in leaving on a high note is one of the best
There is a few good episodes in season 2 but season 3 onwards is when it takes off.
There should be a differentiation between recurring characters and one offs who only appeared in 1 or 2 episodes.
Recurring: Frank. "Between you and me Elaine, I think I got a foot odor problem"
One off: The doorman. Just those mind games. Bookman was funny, but the shtick was only good for a few minutes of screen time and starts to get old pretty quick.
There are some good stuff in some of the early seasons. Maybe start here....some classics and semi-classics
S2 E2 - The Pony Remark (classic George moment)
S2 E4 - The Phone Message (classic George moments)
S2 E6 - The Statue (I'm about 50/50 on this episode, but funny guest stars)
S2 E7 - The Revenge (first look at Kramer's physical comedy)
S2 E8 - The Heart Attack (funny guest star)
S2 E11 - The Chinese Restaurant (a classic but maybe slow by today's standards. Often referenced in later seasons)
S2 E12 - The Busboy (another 50/50, but funny Elaine stuff and George guilt)
Eary neurotic Geroge can be fun before he turns into asshole George.
(EDIT) Actually forget S2 E2 - I had it mixed up with another episode.

From the start of season 3. Good news is you only have 18 eps in the first two seasons combined. There is probably good stuff here and there in those two seasons, but it's really gold jerry gold from 3 on.
And then Curb, absolutely.
