2/8....[possible spoilers]

I have a problem with the 2/8 episode, namely the physical violence directed at George in the form of punches in the face from Marisa Tomei and Susan. The situation was funny, but the punches were not. I don't believe the show would have a scene with a man punching a woman under any circumstances. Violence against wives, husbands, girl friends or boy friends cannot be justified. George may have indulged in some disgraceful lying and deception, but neither Marisa nor Susan can be considered to have been victimized to the extent that a physical assault would be acceptable. Showing Susan's punch as the "punch-line" of the episode, suggesting that George deserved it, is downright offensive.

I thought last night's episode was hilarious!!! Of course, I always like to see Jerry's parents (remind me so much of my own!) The expression on Kramer's face at the end when he hugged the Cable Guy was priceless! It was one of those "I taught him a lesson, now he knows what it feels like, but now I feel guilty, so let's forget about it and be brothers" looks!

Only one problem with the episode....too long! Don't get me wrong, I was laughing all the way through....but I just got the feeling it was too long! Not a major problem though!

After last night's episode, does anyone else feel that Elaine is now the epitomy of "superficial" It was funny...however, I'd just watched a tape of the episode where she dated the Mimbo. The two episodes back to back. Well, maybe its me!

Anyway...great show!

I though that last nights episode was just so-so. The parts that worked were the scenes with Kramer and the cable guy and the Nixon spoof at the end. I didn't much care for the part about Elaine being enamoured with Jerry after finding out how much money he makes. The Marisa Tomei thing was alright but hardly Classic George (my favorite character, BTW). Also, I really did feel bad for Morty when he was impeached, though. I hope that this means that they will move to New York and we will be seeing more of them.

This episode was in keeping with one of the shows more subtle threads. I am speaking, of course, of how Jerry's actions often unwittingly harm others while he remaines unscathed. First, he buys the car that causes Morty to be shunned by the rest of his clique and then when he has a chance to stay in the club, Jerry's stealing of the rye bread comes back to haunt him. Maybe its about time that Jerry got his due.

Jer

But doesn't Jerry refer to his parents condo complex as "Crazy World". It's an entity all of its own. Things there aren't logical in the "real" world. (Ex: Jerry taking the "space" pen that wrote upside down. That was a MAJOR problem at this condo).

mem

As I understood it, the cable company made the mistake and wanted Kramer to accomodate them so they could fix their mistake.

I thought the point was that Jerry's father could not live with the humiliation of impeachment. I mean, all Mr. Seinfeld *had* was his reputation and shuffleboard, right? Take away the rep, and what are you left with?

Shuffleboard.

That would make *me* move.

Just my $0.02.

I think Elaine's actions towards Jerry are proving that she and Jerry will get together at the end of the show as previously predicted. She obviously still wants him, if not for him at least for his money.

(SNIP)

Can anyone tell me why Elaine was calling Jerry and acting all sweet wanting to come down to Florida and spend the weekend with him. She seemed unusually nice and it almost seemed that she was looking for more than a friend.

I missed the first 15 minutes and I was unsure about her and what the deal was with the Cable guy.

If anyone could explain it would be much appreciated.

She was being very plastic about it not nice, because she always thought of jerry as being financially insecure now that he did that for his dad she wants in on the action.

They should have each given him an "elaine" shove.

... "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things!" ..Elaine ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12

-> And the Nixon spoof, well - it was another example of "total -> implausibility in the service of a gag". He didn't need to move -> _out_ just because he wasn't president of their little condo club -> anymore! ...er, did he? I've never lived in a condo...

He didn't "have" to move out, he was just too humiliated by the experience to go on living with those people (and considering their comparative levels of obnoxiousness, I'd say all the better for the Seinfelds).
