I just recently saw it for the first time in awhile. George: "He's not a pigman, is he?" Kramer:"No he's just a fat little mental patient."

The one I never see on reruns is the "Puerto Rican Day Parade." Not the funniest one, by a long shot, but it was the second-to-last episode and had some funny moments.

This gives a great flavor of Leon from Season 6 of CYE.

The Best of Leon

John Ratzenberger (Cliff) had a tiny role in "Gandhi." I always laugh when I see him, although it is not a particularly funny movie overall.

That episode was on last night -- TBS I believe

Wayne Knight has been a secondary actor in a variety of things beyond Seinfeld. He had a role in the infamous Sharon Stone scene in Basic Instinct, he was one of the investigators on Jim Garrison's team in JFK, and he turned into a dinosaur's meal in Jurassic Park. All three were big hits at the box office.

Jon Lovitz did a hysterical turn as Gary Fogel, the guy who faked cancer for a free wig.

Gary: "Hey, George, you decided to get a rug. Good for you, JACK!"

I saw an episode last night when Kramer befriended the three Japanese tourists and had them sleeping in the drawers of a large piece of furniture.

Classic, Klyd!

When Kramer is "tucking them in" to their drawers, I almost became incontinent.

That was a classic moment. I also got a kick out of Kramer relaxing in the hot tub with the three guys, all wearing cowboy hats, and splashing George.

My favorite moment from the above episode is when George calls Jerry in a panic, complaining that the Japanese guys had sake in the hot tub and were late for a meeting with George & Japanese tv execs.

Jerry's response: "Who is this?"

George reacts by banging the phone and screaming at Jerry.

Did you ever notice----that for a short, stocky, slow-witted bald man, George had mostly beautiful girlfriends on the show?

And Jerry? What a picky S.O.B.!

That girl that ate her peas one at a time? DEAR GOD man, are you insane?

And Kristin Davis? She could drop her toothbrush in a pile of poop. There's no way I'm giving that up.

Rusty!!

George completely overachieved. He should have gotten women no more attractive than that skanky cousin who wanted to date him!


Jerry was no great looking guy either. I thought Kristen Davis was stunning, as were the following:

1. Nicky, the girl who could talk any man into or out of anything (she got out of the speeding ticket and she "won" the nonsensical bet with Todd Gak).

2. Mulva - oo la la

3. Teri Hatcher. Say no more. The were, and continue to be, spectacular.

4. The woman who claimed to have gotten gonnorehea from a tractor

5. The woman who Jerry got her phone number off the AIDS walk list. "Don't the bums get tired of soup?"

And don't forget Kramer.

He was the oldest one on the show, yet continually dated women in their 20's.

Then again, he had the Kavorka.

I think the funniest was the woman with giant hands.

There's a beach towel on the rack.

and don't forget Kramer as "The Ass Man".

"You got that straight!"

Kramer always had some real weirdos, mostly never seen. My favorite was Sister Roberta in "The Conversion" episode.

"My new surgery is already working. Kramer made a pass at me. He stopped short and made a grab."

"That's my move!"

"Unh, I stopped short!"

One of my all-time favorites was on last night: "The Chicken Roaster." Filled with so many classic scenes:

1) Kramer eating the chicken in Jerry's bed, wiping his mouth with Jerry's sheets

2) Newman spitting out the broccoli and crying out "vile weed!"

3) Kramer's apartment turning red from the Kenny Rogers chicken sign. Kramer & Jerry switching apartments as a result. "If Jerry finds out I'm hooked on Rogers chicken, I'm back in there with the Red Menace."

4) "Your friend Seth stopped by."
"Oh yeah, what did he have to say?"
"Oh he was fired."

I absolutely loathe a great majority of the post-Larry David episodes of Seinfeld, and "The Chicken Roaster" is one of them. It's funny, yes, but it's NOT the same brand of humor that the show is known for in it's first five or so seasons. Although, I must admit that the episode DID show some very interesting hints of creativity -- most notably when Jerry and Kramer switch apartments/personalities; and Kramer's whole boycott of Kenny Rodgers Roasters was pretty funny, too. So... I'd actually have to say that the episode was at the very least an original work, I'll give it that. But God, I simply couldn't stand watching the later years of this damn show.

You also mentioned the episode where the Japanese guys sleep in Kramer's chest-of-drawers; again, horrendous in my opinion. Although, again, it had it's moments -- such as the 'potty-mouth' executives from the Houston Astros. Those scenes had me cracking up, but on a very superficial and shallow level. It was NOT on par with the level of humor that helped establish the show as such a unique and original work of art..

THANK YOU! YES! THAT is one of the best moments in Seinfeld HISTORY!!!

"Unh, I stop short!"

I do not disagree that the show's writing was not as good post-Larry David. However, I disagree that all the episodes were bad. The "Chicken Roaster" was brilliant - all the storylines were hilarious. But I agree that most of the post-LD stories were so absurd that it somewhat took away from what they started.

To me, it just proves that Jerry Seinfeld saw this too and is why he ended the show, rather than continuing to take NBC's money and producing sub-standard episodes and being a parody of himself. The show went as far as it could and would have overstayed its welcome, despite receiving high viewer ratings.

I agree, "The Chicken Roaster" was brilliant. I also thought "The Puerto Rican Day Parade" was brilliant; as well as the episode where the script runs backwards.

However, I didn't find any of them particularly funny.

I never fully considered how different the post-Larry David episodes were until War Time Consigliere brought it up and I saw these episodes again. Last night, the storylines were where Kramer tried to stop having his mail delivered and George was dating his cousin. I see WTC's point - they were absurd plots.

However, I always laugh, whenever I see Fragile Frankie knock on George's window saying "Seinfeld's van" and George mistakes it for "Son of Sam." George runs out the van shouting "I knew it wasn't Berkowitz!"

Hey Goombah, "if this van's a rockin', don't come a knockin'.

I have to do a better job filtering what my 4 year old watches. She likes "Seinfeld," but she asked if she could tell her 2 1/2 year old brother "Hoochie Mama" after hearing Frank mutter the phrase last night.

"I'M COSMO KRAMER, THE ASS MAN!"
