Fans praise the season 8 premiere for being funny despite worries the show would decline; favorites include George's reaction to Susan's death, the "I hate you" scene, and Kramer's antics.

I was surprised at how much I laughed when watching the premiere. I was sort of dreading the show, because I was afraid it would not be as good as it used to be. I think that it's different, but it's still funny.

***My favorite parts:

  • "I HATE YOU!" said in unison by Jerry and his fiancee

2. George and his trashed apartment, him donning a blazer when Susan's parents arrived at his door

  • Kramer throwing the little Karate Kids around

Anyone else have parts that they liked? EDS

My favorite part was when George realized just how much money, etc. he would not be receiving because of Susan's death. The look on his face when he heard the doll collection was worth $2.6 million was priceless! Didn't one of the dolls resemble his mother last season?

"you know i always thought kramer was a doofus, but he had faith in me, you didn't jerry youre the dufus!!" i was laughing quite hard at that and the kramer part was funny with karate, i take karate myself and the thought of beating up little kids would be so funny and thinking your great is hilarious

: As a big Wrath of Kahn fan I loved when George screamed out "KAHN!!" Good stuff.

Me too but I laughed a lot as well. I was worried I'd open up this newsgroup and find people spitting venom about what can be considered an even more tasteless episode than last season's finale. So far the reaction seems to be fairly positive.

It was the perfect way to end their relationship! I like Jeanine G. and all but her character shouldn't have become a regular.

Oh, I *loved* this whole storyline. I take Jiu Jitsu so I was doubley laughing my ass off at these scenes. When the little kid came up to pick up Kramer I was howling. And when the K Man came back to Jerry's apartment after the beating I couldn't stop thinking about how Kramer had just been beaten up by a bunch of little kids and laughing uncontrollably. Great!

George finally showing some emotion when remembering Spock's death. I think they really pushed the envelope a lot with George's callousness. Thank somebody for Seinfeld!

Oh, and Elaine's storyline was *ok*. For some reason Peterman worked for me this show and I loved watching him crack up.

One complaint is that I don't like how the show has looked more, hmm, "bright" these past two seasons. Must be better quality film.

George could eat cheese the size of a car battery! Boy U can get very sick to eat that much cheese at a time! Kramer says " We spar by the level not by size." Jerry told K. that he could wring his neck.

1. "My neck feels like one big monkey fist." I'm still laughing at that.

2. When Kramer explains the Elaine where the term "katra" comes from. Did any Star Trek geeks know about it beforehand?

3. When he clonked one of the kids in the head during the karate class combat montage. Priceless.

Yes, I caught on to it the first time he mentioned the word. Katra is the Vulcan word for the spirit or mind or something like that. Though I think the term actually means the mind or brain than what Kramer says it is in the show.

My favorite parts of the premiere4 were the Star Trek spoofs.

1. When George tells Jerry that Star Trek II ruined his lfe, then yells out "Khan!!!!!!!!" It was a great spoof of when Kirk yelled out "Khan!!!!!!!!!!!", when Khan had left him and the others on the planet to die in Star Trek II.

2. When Kramer was telling Ellaine about his Karate and mentioned about the Katra. Great Star Trek reference. It was hillarious.
