Last nite the Roommate Switch episode was aired. I know nothing about movie history but it seems that much of it (Jerry and George plotting, Newman and Babs hooking up) had the style of some classic movie. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thank you.

Some people say the plotting is similar to the "planning" scene in Resevoir Dogs.

Newman and Babs always intrigued me. We could not identify any specific film but it was classic "film noir" type of interchange.

I 'spect the post-er is referring to the music we hear during the interlude. That music--out of the '40s, I believe--is what makes it all work--and, yes, it makes it, no doubt, a sort of "fim noire" genre-type thing.

How you doin' by the way?

We just saw it tonight in San Francisco (postponed by the World Series) after part I of the clip show.

I was trying to recall this intrigue. Newman and Babs have met before, obviously, yet Newman had never heard her utter the name Cosmo.

I think this is one of the best Episodes, especially when George tells Jerry and Elaine Kramers first Name:

COSMO

And then again when Newman gets caught with Kramers mother, he just blurrs out:

COSMO
