It was OK, not great. Keith Hernandez was suprising and very appropriate.
Super Bowl Ad
Fans react to a Seinfeld Super Bowl commercial featuring Keith Hernandez and callbacks to the show, with mixed opinions on its quality and effectiveness.
Actually, I thought it was quite good. Just not timely enough to be "great."
I watched it two or three times, and my reaction is, "huh?" Two mildly amusing aspects (1) Keith Hernandez helping Jerry move, and (2) the St Louis Arch remark, "you can't fake one of these" with a miniature fake arch showing up later in the ad.
I gotta say, like some of the episodes in season 9, there was no "there" there.

Considering he had 60 seconds to work with, I wasn't expecting a whole episode. Right off the bat, when the props guy removed the cardboard cutout 'cereal' from the kitchen shelf, I loved the ad. Then the nods to fans of the show (1. Hernandez, helping Jerry move, and 2. "Be careful, it's hot"), and the bit about the arch was the kicker. I was very pleased overall.
FWIW, there are supposed to be another 4 or 5 commercials in this
series. I can see watching all 8 or 9 of them in order and being nearly
as satisfied as if it was a full "new" episode.

Jerry again.

I also want to mention how pleased Jerry was with the woman in the diner when they were both enjoying pie. Remember Poppy's daughter reluctance to eat pie with him?

Anyone know where we can download it for our computers?
I thought it was pretty funny. I liked how they fit in the sitcom and it wasn't just him playing some character.
