Was Elaine's trek under the bleachers with the group of stranded people an homage to the last 30 minutes of 'The Poseidon Adventure'?
5/7/98 episode - Poseidon Adventure parody?

I think so. I didn't think I would like the episode, but I think it had some really great stuff in it. I loved all three of the guys in the apartment using the fake names.
That and a lot of movies just like it but I guess its the most famous one. Just like all new episodes I find a lot to laugh about but I felt that even though there was a lot going on that there was a weird relax feel to the whole show. Like most episodes i'm guessing it will get better after repeated viewings. I also thought that they really played the "gay" angle with the Cedric and Bob (?) incident as opposed to the other two times we got to see them. Not that there"s any... Well you Know. Do they recognize Kramer at all ?
Mo.

Yeah, I guess I was the only one that thought The Parking Garage was a Poseiden Adventure parody so they had to do it again.

I thought it was a definite reference to Poseiden Adventure. First thing that popped into my head. . . .

I remember reading a post of yours, or maybe its on the FAQ, where you mention The Parking Garage as a parody for the Poseidon Adventure, and I never quite saw that, so maybe they did do it again just to clear things up.

It seemed to be an episode of disasters... The Hindenberg, the Poseiden Adventure, and I swear that Jerry's car was suppose to look like the Titanic in the last scene.....

Yeah, Excellent pattern there. Add a fourth disaster - the episode itself and we have them all. I guess I did not find it too funny.
