Fans discuss whether George and Elaine have swapped character traits, with some defending the intentional role reversal setup from last season while others feel the show is losing its edge.

The show appears to be losing something. It appears to me that George and Elaine have swapped character traits somewhat. I would have preferred George being George. A recent exception was tonights show with George watching movie with family that rented. Thats the george I like, Elaine's losing to much . Anyone agree

Isn't this the premise that was set up at the end of last season? Remember elaine said "Don't you see I'm becoming George!!!" Elaine lost her job, & apartment. George got a job with the Yankees and moved out of his parents place.

Decide for yourself.

Seinfeld does need to tone it down a bit - he needs a girlfriend, someone he dates more than once.

Kramer bothers me the most, because he is not a good friend, he's hilarious but if there's a person like him close to my life it would be a total disaster.

Hell, if any of them were in my life, I think I'd commit suicide! They make my friends and family look [address] that's saying something.Their total self- absorption (on the show, that is) makes them fun to watch as long as they're confined to a little screen that I control, but jeez, they'd be the last people I'd want as real-life friends.

If they were real-life people who were involved in my life on a regular basis, most of them would grate on me.

  • Jerry is forever joking.
  • Elaine is (or at least CAN be) too self absorbed.
  • George is paranoid and irritating. That little smirk of his.
  • Neumann is annoying and conniving.
  • George's parents are the reason for George's paranoia.
  • Jerry's mother is already the definitive mother-in-law and Jerry's not even married.

I think the only ones I could stomach on a regular basis are Jerry's girlfriends (who do seem reasonable) and possibly Jerry's father who, by definition (having remained married to Jerry's mother for so long) borders on being insane. But he pulls it off with a certain kind of flair that doesn't annoy me too much.

As for Kramer, he's unpredictable and mysterious, but even in his quirkiness and zaniness, he appears to have some realness/compassion to him. I like that. Besides, he did look good in a those Calvins. I think I could easily establish/maintain a friendship with Kramer rather than with Jerry, George (spit), or Neumann (spit spit).

Newman makes me crazy, hes a pretty shallow character, he serves the same purpose every time he is on.... ----------------------------------------- = Joanne Deer = = Norman Paterson School of = = International Affairs = = Carleton University, Ottawa = = Email address: [email] = -----------------------------------------
