Hi PPA...!

Haha, relax, somebody big agreed with me. Saturday night the TV guide said Paula's show was on, but we got the Commish instead! Yay! My original remarks stand. <g> She's a club act. (Barely)

|GE>>Seinfeld this week was great... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That was the week before. I wasn't crazy about the silly barbers on 11/11. Saw a LOT of Seinfeld and company on Dateline NBC Tuesday night 11/16 - that was fun! He's just having a GOOD TIME, and we are, too! <g>

I was glad to see The Commish back on again after a couple of PP's shows. Whew.

I agree. I thought the barber epsiode blew. When did Kramer become merely a slapstick character? Was it during his stint as an underwear model?

Kramer was always a "slapstick" character. But if you call it "physical comedy" instead of "slapstick" it's classier, which is how I think of it. Just because the humor is physical doesn't mean it isn't funny. I for one was howling at Kramer's idiocy during the auction. He think's he's such hot snot. He hasa face that I call the "babe face" that he gets whenever he's trying to be attractive. It always pops up when confronted with a beautiful woman. See the "I'm not a picker" episode when Jerry has the model over and Kramer wants to borrow the dust buster.
