I laughed more at this episode (11/14) than any other of the season.
Fave part: Kramer pulling open the door of Jerry's apartment to go back to his own, and when the door opens, the red light comes on and Kramer tilts his head and body way back, as though he has been struck by the light. It just made my laugh every time I saw the red light and heard that hum.
Other fave parts: "...M...Mr. Marbles?"
Elaine: "You speak Burmese?"
Peterman: "No, Elaine, that was gibberish."
It was a VERY funny episode. PACKED with laughs. I saw a episode of some tabloid journalism show with interviews of all the cast. Jerry was speaking of the innovations Seinfeld brought to the industry. One of which was the number of different SCENES each show does. They go from place to place to place. And EVERY one is FUNNY. There's no very long period AT ALL without SOMETHING being funny.
There's no doubt that this episode compares favorably with ANY past episode. They may have had a shaky start, but...
OH, BTW, at the end of this tabloid journalism show (Hard Copy or something, of which I missed most of) they said it was undecided as to whether Seinfeld would be back on the air next year. I think htey just might be there next year. What else are they gonna do? Make a bunch of crappy movies? They seem to have changed the show somewhat this, and maybe it gave them new energy.
It may go another 8 years. All cast members seemed to be very positive about the show, and seemed quite happy.
That Kramer movement of being blasted backwards is exactly the same movement he did in the spitting scene involving that baseball player (also a take-off on the Kennedy assassination). I just burst out laughing.
