In "The Switch," the major plotlines are as follows: ----- Elaine lets a potential employer (Jocelyn Landis) borrow Mr. Pitt's tennis racquet in hopes of landing a job at Doubleday (which she didn't get in "The Chaperone"). When Landis suffers an injury playing with the racquet, Elaine finds it hard to get it back to Mr. Pitt.

George's thinks his model girlfriend (Nina) may be bulimic. He needs proof, so he gets Kramer's mother (Babs), a bathroom matron, to help him out. When he meets her, she blurts out the famous "COSMO!!" With the name finally revealed, Kramer decides it's time to be himself.

Jerry's girlfriend (Sandi) never laughs, but he meets her roommate (Laura) who does. He is now confronted with a dilemma; he decides he wants to try "the switch." With George's help, they form a seemingly flawless plan to pull it off. It doesn't end up exactly how they expected, however. ----- Some classic lines from "The Switch:"

= "Of course I'm concerned -- I'm paying for those meals! It's like throwing money down the toilet!" -- George = "I don't even want to get into my childhood. I'm still carrying a lot of pain!" -- Kramer = "The cat <cat noise> is out of the bag!" -- Kramer = "Do you realize that in the entire history of Western civilization, no one has ever successfully completed the roommate switch? In the Middle Ages, you could get locked up for even suggesting it!" -- George = "It's a perfect plan -- so devious, so inspired, yet so simple." -- Jerry = "I'm not sure how to pronounce it, but I think it's . . . menage a trois . . ?" -- Jerry = "Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank God that you know me and have access to my dimentia?" -- George = "This is like discovering plutonium . . . by accident!" -- George -----

I hope that was concise enough :-) The episode was simply brilliant, so I've memorized most of it.

This line goes beyond being classic Seinfeld, it's classic TV! It's one of the ten or so best written pieces that have come out of the show.

Actually Pete, I thought this past season was an excellent season. I think, after watching all the episodes a second time, that it was a very solid season. Best/Jim

Yeah, I thought they all fared better the second time around, too. I might have been too harsh originally...
