For 28 episodes over five years, the Seinfeld writers tortured poor Susan, which made her the consummate partner for sad sack George. But in the real world, the cast didn't like the actress much more than their fictional counterparts. In fact, it was Julia Louis-Dreyfus who suggested killing off the character after finding actress Heidi Swedberg hard to work with, according to interviews with Jason Alexander over the years.

The summer is a fantastic time to play video games. Many of us can recall fondly those days in July and August after school ended, waking up on a particularly humid morning while everyone else was still asleep, and setting up in the basement to play through some levels of GoldenEye on the N64.
