Jan 13th episodes

Think NBC Is running two fine Elaine-related episodes in honor of her 33rd birthday that day??????

Yo, was it just me or did anyone find the stroke humor a little tasteless. I watched the episode with a bunch of schoolmates and we all agreed that it (although funny) was bad judgement to poke fun at strokes and the elderly. Just a thought.

Still trying to figure out where the nuggets are on a chicken!-A.T.S.

Well, it's a personal judgement I guess. I found it a little awkward, but the show usually does a very good job in dealing with touchy subject without taking them seriously at all. It didn't bother me that much, and I wouldn't call it bad judgement on their part, but I certainly see your point. - Dan

Ya, I agree. I was not offended or anything, so this isn't a knee-jerk reaction. What the hell were they thinking? The stroke humour was just, well, too easy and irresponsible. Shocking humour is great, but not when it plays on people's helplessness. It's like making fun of a rape victim or somthing.

It's not just YOU, it's you and all YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jezus H., let's not make fun of ANYONE or ANY GROUP! IT'S TOO DAMN INSENSITIVE!!

PUT A COOKIE IN YOUR MOUTH AND GO TO SLEEP!

Well, I'd like to point out that the humor is not directed at the stroke victim per se. Rather, it's poking fun at these four very shallow and self-centered people, and how they relate to others. This is also applicable to the "handicapped" show, in which -- once again -- the humor comes from the self-centeredness of our big-city foursome, NOT the plight of the handicapped. Okay? Sensitivity is fine, but I (for one) am getting a little tired of people who apparently never crack a smile when faced with the cosmic humor of the human condition.

Please, let's all lighten up a little. After all, remember that the stroke victim was just using Elaine for sex, so he was no saint!
