Kramer is a greedy pig

Lately the shows have shown a greedy side of Kramer that takes away from his warm, sweet facade. In the episode where Kramer fixes Elaine's neck, he not only insisted that Elaine compensate him with her bicycle, but he then turns around and sells the bicycle to Newman knowing full well that Elaine should have ,at the very least, been given the right of first refusal to buy the bike back from kramer. In the re-run episode of " the statue", Jerry is nice enough to give Kramer stuff that belonged to Jerry's deceased grandfather. When George sees the statue and reveals how much it would mean to him and his parents to give his parents the statue, Kramer selfishly wanted to retain the statue for himself even though the statue did not hold any special significance for him. It was only after Jerry made George "it", that Kramer agreed to give up his right, title, and interest in the statue. Again, Kramer has shown a nasty greedy side I had never seen before. What makes it even more disturbing is the fact that Kramer is independently wealthy and can afford to buy his own junk/chatchkerye/knick-knacks, whereas George is a working stiff/loser whose wealth/income is lower than Kramer's.

A deal is not a deal when a reasonable person knows that the "offer" was not made with contractual intent. Although an argument can be made that a reasonable person might think Elaine was serious when she stated she would give her bike to whomever fixed her aching neck, I don't think so.

Kramer loved that bike. He only sold it because he neede the money.

How nice was it really when Jerry considered it "junk" and it was in a box in the basement?

When George sees the

But do you think that Kramer is "redeemed" when he took a great risk to retrieve the statue for George?

Too true!! If it were "real life", how many million$ would we all owe to comments like "I bet a million bucks that's not...or that is..."...you get the point.

I'm a big kramer fan myself.........But I must agree that Kramer is selfish. ie. The show where Kramer is going nuts because his back is iching real bad. He meets the cashier in the restraunt(who has some wicked nails). They go out for awhile. When kramer back stops iching(and raw) he dumps her. I'm sorry but that really bites. I was really taken aback.

And lawyers wonder why the rest of the world hate them.

I gotta agree...Cosmo seems to be changing, and NOT in what would be an "expected" Krameresque way...I hope this is just a dip in the otherwise EXCEPTIONAL writing of the show!

It's Kramers way to always be getting over. He's always taking advantage of Jerry's good nature.
