I just saw that episode for the first time tonight. That's got to make the list of Frank's best lines ever.

I think the Wiz guy is also based on "Crazy Eddie"; another Tri-state (New York) area electronics store chain that was famous for it's commercials in the 70's/80's. The commercials had this guy shouting into the tv about how low the prices were: "Crazy Eddie...his prices are insaaane!"

I think you are probably right, being from NYC myself.

Yeh, I remember the "Crazy Eddie" commercial guy always wore a black turtle-neck sweater/shirt...doesn't "the Wiz" guy (Seinfeld) also wear similar clothing?

One of my fav Frank Costanza lines is

"Jerry, Its Frank Costanza... Mr Steinbrenners here, George is dead, call me back."

Yes, I was referring to the subplot with Elaine dating "The Wiz" pitch man. "Nobody beats me! I'm the Wiz!"

Stupid subplot.
