The Susie

Is it just me, or is "The Susie" just an old "Three's Company" script that was reworked by the writers to fit "Seinfeld."

Some have said that, in nearly a 100 years of movies and TV, everything imaginable has been done at least 3 times before in some form.

There are only 22 (I think that is the exact number) separate plotlines ever used in movies, tv, or theater.

Here is one: Boy meets girl

This is anecdotal and has never been proven or disproven, but is said much by show-biz types.

Thanks, Steve

Three's Company never made me laugh like Seinfeld does. It has something to do with the actors. Suzanne Somers was a no-talent with big breasts. Joyce Dewitt was a no-talent with small breasts and John Ritter?

One word.

I was just kidding, actually. It was more of a reference to the fact that it seemed more like a typical sitcom episode, rather than the high-quality originality that one would expect from "Seinfeld."

I have a question about "The Susie". I might have missed something or was not paying attention, but why did Elaine have to snuff "Susie" and who paid for the funeral? why would she go to all that trouble?

Because Susie was being treated as a separate employee. Since Elaine and Susie are the same person, she was getting more work to do than normal.

and who

I'm sure it was Peterman.

why would she go to all that trouble?

Because it was a silly plot idea.

The appropriate question is not why would they go to all that trouble....because the obvious answer is "it's a Seinfeld episode" why do they go to the trouble of doing anything....comedy

Now to answer your other questions, Susie had to be snuffed because she was Elaines scapegoat and Susie began causing Elaine more problems than she needed.

NBC paid for Susie's funeral, you are too critical about the little things, enjoy the comedy and go about your day.

You must focus on the humor...this was a classic episode for Jerry. With the comments to the woman behind him at the funeral...classic Jerry.

I once posed a question on where to get George's answering machine message and one guy replied but didn't really tell me the link.

Anyway can someone tell me the link? The correct one this time???? :) I have so many seinfeld pages but none has george's singing message!!

Thanks for help!!! :)

It's really all over. I have a real audio version at http://acs.tamu.edu/~dcm0027 -- then click on Seinfeld.
