Seinfeld: Mr. Bookman, The Library Cop
The greatest SEINFELD scene ever, and one of the all-time great guest performances on any show: Philip Baker Hall as obsessive library cop Mr. Bookman in the episode “The Library.” Watch Jerry cracking up all through the monologue (that’s why there are so many cuts in the scene, because the director constantly had to cut away from Seinfeld laughing). Written by Larry Charles.

I absolutely agree with you there. For being a one time-appearing character only, mr Bookman is one of the characters which proves the excellence of this sitcom. None but the Charles/Seinfeld/David threesome could come up with a hilarious 2 minute monologue about overdue library books! If I was a religious person I’d have thanked God every day for Seinfeld:)
