I disagree. The episode aired 11/21 was lame. The thing I always loved about "Seinfeld" is how they presented real things in a funny way. e.g. shrinkage, masturbation, the 'deal', etc. Last night showed George getting smart because of abstaining from sex, and elaine getting stupid for lack of sex. THAT just doesn't happen, so the episode was just plain stupid. I liked the storyline about Jerry getting bumped from career day--but the episode, as a whole, was not in a ny way. shape or form, a "classic". Adding Letterman was a nice touch

I very much agree with you. I used to love Seinfeld because of its hilarious treatment of realistic, often trivial, events. Identification is the key to communication, and I identified with the storie's amusing trials and tribulations.

Such a connection is now lost, however. Almost every episode of the new season (and many from last season) revolves around an outrageous, unbelievable, and impossible storyline.
