November 18, 1992 –
The Seinfeld episode, The Contest premiered on this date. It was a controversial episode which later won an Emmy and was named the number one episode of all time by TV Guide magazine.
The word “masturbation” (the subject of the episode) is never mentioned. The script originally did use the word, but Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David thought that the episode would be funnier and less controversial without it. David claims that if NBC had rejected the episode he would have quit. NBC received only 31 complaints from viewers.
