It seems Kramer has a knack for getting himself in situations whereby he is seen on TV or otherwise garnering fame:

1. Appearing on "Murphy Brown" 2. Hawking coffee table book on "Regis and Kathie Lee" 3. Recipient at the Tony Awards 4. His photo shown on the news (in L.A.) describing him as a suspect in the "Smog Stranglings" 5. Also on the news (in N.Y.), driving the Bronco (a la O.J. and A.C) in Genderson's getaway 6. Appears in Woody Allen movie 7. Heard on the scanner while driving the back of the fire truck (not really fame, but attention getting nontheless) 8. Knows Elle Macpherson + other SI swimsuit models (not a guarantee of fame, but some potential there)

the lawsuit didn't fail it was just settled out of court, and i don't think kramer would call it a failure, it was a success.

The Kramer also made his face known in the art world.

That was George. Kramer made friends with Bette after that (and made sure there weren't any more "accidents" like that).

Right.... geez... they really ought to play those episodes more often, instead of the Dealership, which has been playing every other day!

Damn, I was just about to post that one. But I forgot his name. I was going to say he confronted Keith Hernandez and got spit on by his teammate.
