I have one question: If some of you don't like this season, why are you even bothering to watch it, let alone send mail to this Newsgroup telling people about it? This is for people that like the show. I agree that some of the episodes this season have not been as good as some of the earlier ones, but they have their good points, it's still funny, and you have to realize that after close to ten years of episodes, they are slowly running out of plots, and losing their edge, which is perfectly natural: happens to everything. Good things can't last for ever you know.
On another note: I think they could still pull off a good show without Jerry. It obviously wouldn't be as good, but it would be a sort of "combined-spinoff". It would also certainly be better than any (single) spinoff.
