As I said on my review of The Trip I believe that The Pitch/The Ticket is the actual start of Season 4. The Trip felt like a part of a mini series that began with The Keys and ended with Season 4 two part nightmare.
Getting specific with The Pitch/The Ticket, I think this is the perfect start of the season. Being an hour episode (and one of the best in that format) you are given the time to get invested in the arc about Jerry and George writing a sitcom. If they had done the same plot in a half hour episode it would have felt rushed and if they had done half of the plot it would have felt disjointed.
The side story is Kramer and Newman's trade and eventual team up to get Newman out of a legal problem. Wayne Knight is absolutely fantastic in this episode fomenting further on that he is one the best supporting characters in the show. His chemistry with Michael Richards is unbelievable in this episode and their scene in court is priceless.
Along the episode we get a lot of seinfeldisms mainly from the Jerry and George story. Like the "salsa" bit, Jerry screwing it up by telling Davola about Kramer's party, Jerry's telephone talk with TMI, George getting upset because Susan asked him to pay for the vest, Jerry and Uncle Leo's situation. It's the kind of social commentaries we love about the show.
