Posters criticize The Serenity Now episode as weak, arguing its plot about a Jewish man attracted to a non-Jewish woman rehashes tired material from Woody Allen and older sitcoms.

The October 9 episode was the weakest episode in the show's history. The trite plot line about the shiksa goddess has ben done already by Woody Allen at least 10 times. (And Woody's version was funnier). This plot line is so old that it has been used and reused by the dull Murphy Brown show. It was even used on an old show called Bridgett Loves Bernie from about 20 years ago. Please, it isn't necessary to steal warmed over ideas from Woody Allen.

Finally, someone on this newsgroup realizes how poor the writing is becoming.

Just like an old baseball player, sometimes a show can srick around one year too many.

And the Kramer bit, where the neighbor kids throw baseballs at him and he threatens to keep them, is a rip off of the SNL recurring skit of Cheri Otero playing the Italian housewife on the porch. People are entitled to opinions and mine is that this show the last couple of years has turned into unrealistic nonsense. I , like most people on this NG, has seen every episode. I still keep watching out of the curiosity factor hoping they still might come up with a clever episode... seems less and less likely that it will ever happen..
