The Stakeout!

Remember when Jerry tells his parents he will be sleeping at Kramer's, cuz they are sleeping in his bed??

I have always wondered how he did that, given his general averseness to anything Kramer, as we see in later episodes, like when in one episode, Kramer suggests both of them sleeping in Jerry's bed etc...Also, as in many episodes it is shown that Jerry is a cleanliness freak, and Kramer, the complete opposite....

I would think he would be more confortable sleeping in a hotel or at George's.....

Don't take this as a criticism, because it's not. I suspect you are either a female or perhaps under 20 years of age. Nothing wrong with either. However I can tell you from personal experience that it is very, VERY difficult for two heterosexual men to sleep in the same bed, even if it's a king and regardless of where their comfort level is with their own sexuality.

In my opinion, Jerry's discomfort with sharing his bed with Kramer was nothing more than that.

Also, while George's place isn't the little rat's nest that Newman's is, I don't think an apartment where someone sits around in a robe eating a block of cheese the size of a battery is going to win out over anything Kramer has as a viable alternative sleeping location.

Yea, but my question still remains, that the way it has been portrayed to us in most of the episodes, is that he wud take George or like I said, a hotel room anyday, rather than sleepin at Kramer's...Never, in any episode, have they given us any sign that he would prefer Kramer to George, or any1 else for that matter (except Newman, i guess...he definitely hates Newman the most)....

Well for one thing Kramer is right next door, which George is not.

But more importantly I think that at this early stage of the show none of the characters are yet fully developed, and neither is their main stage, Jerry's apartment.

Just a bit later, when Jerry has a bedroom, it is so much easier to have someone stay over. There is always the couch.

Btw, has there ever been any public acknowledging that the real Jerry Seinfeld is a "cleanliness freak", or is it only part of the character?
