Viewers note an inconsistency with Kramer's bathing habits, as he complains about taking baths in this episode but previously stated he only takes baths and never showers.

Did anyone else notice a HUGE problem with last thursday's episode?

Kramer COMPLAINS about having to take baths, when I was under the impression he always took baths and NEVER showered.

Why was I under this impression? During the pee-in-the-shower episode Kramer is asked if he pees in the shower. His response, "I take baths."

Can someone please explain what's going on?

I think that Kramer's inconsistencies come directly from his character. He has no idea of exactly what he wants in life. Jerry even picked up on this when he asked Kramer "When did you start drinking Latte's (type of coffee/cappacino)?" Kramer says, "I have always drank Latte's." I think all these inconsistencies associated with the K-man help build his character and show us how crazy he is and unpredictable.

I think you have a point here, to a degree. Yes, he's supposed to be somewhat unpredictable. But he also has certain hardfast traits. Ones which stay constant. It's part of what gives him his character. I don't think we see very prominent, memorable traits rearranged very often with the characters. Kramer should still like to take baths. I think they compromised this for the sake of the episode. Otherwise, Kramer couldn't participate in the 'shower head hunt.'
