I think this will prove to be one of the top 10 Seinfeld's, don't you think ?

Some great lines!!

It's the wood that makes it good. Oh, I'm stressed.! Jerry: My friend Bob Sacamano called..... That looked like Milk to me.! My rods and cones are all screwed up! The blinds ARE closed.! Don't eat the chicken, It'll mess you up!! Newman: Vile weed !! Kman: Jerry, these are load bearing walls, you can't knock them out. Jerry, your a sound sleeper, lets switch apartments. Cooo-stannn-zaaa-

I hope you mean top 10 for this season and not all time. It give it a C+ rating.

Don't forget the classic Newman line, spoken when Jerry makes him eat the broccoli; "Honey mustard?" Wayne Knight can make any line sound funny.

Please don't forget Kramer's "...back to the Red Menace!"

Or am I the only one who saw this as a hilarious communist spoof?

One of my all-time favorites. After it first ran, my friends and I realized that we'd have to keep an eye out for a repeat to tape it for further reference. I was rolling even on the 2nd viewing.

Accountant: And poorly made, even by rat hat standards. Peterman: No, Elaine, it's gibberish. Peterman: The horror, the horror. George: Are these alive? That can't be good for business. That can't be good for anybody.

The Red Light was a definate A+ as far as Seinfeld's go. It was perfect. Newman's best this season. I love his little growl as Kramer reaches for the chicken. And of course, Kramer takin it to the streets "That's bad Chicken! Mess you up!" The way he says it is hilarious. It's a shame they haven't been able to put ones like this out each week this season. This had me too on the floor laughing even the second time. The first time watching it I was on the floor and thinking "Seinfeld's back, Baby!" It had all the classic elements, like the male strive for the second date (Co-stan-za!). or priorities (Jerry and an old college buddy). and protest (Mess you up!). If you didn't think this was excellent, you just don't like Seinfeld.

This Kenny's Roasters episode was certainly on of the top 10 of all time. Just the role reversal of Jerry and Kramer was funny enough. (Jerry's "Giddy-up" had me rolling). The best episodes are when Jerry is the victim of whatever goofiness is going on. (i.e. the muttun, napkin stuffing incident, the marble rye, etc.)

"It's the wood that makes it good" was actually the Kenny Roger's Roaster's slogan for a time several years ago. They had t-shirts, signs, etc.
