Mixed reactions to the episode; junk mail and Van subplots work well, but George's parents' storyline and Elaine's love-at-first-sight plot fall flat and don't develop much.

Well, I'd say a step up from "The Blood", but not a very big one.

I thought the junk mail story worked. Some decent Kramer and Newman material.

I thought George's parents falling in love again could have been very funny, but it was pretty flat. They could have done a lot more with it.

Elaine's subplot started good, but didn't go anywhere. One positive step, she actually smiled and seemed like she was in a good mood. The mysterious love at first sight guy was good until they brought The Wiz part into it. It really died after that.

The Van subplot was good. Best part: Kramer trying to negotiate a price.

Seinfeld Grade: C+

Isn't this episode people are calling the Junk Mail really called The Van? Just wondering? My television listing shows the latter.
