😂 Loved it

Viewers discuss whether George's candy bar scene in the dealership episode represents classic Costanza behavior, with mixed opinions on whether his anger had proper buildup or erupted too suddenly.

This was definitely the best episode of the season (though I haven't watched my tape of the 1/15 episode yet). I loved George's candy bar scenes (classic Costanza). It was really like the old times.

Well, maybe not classic; time will tell.  I do enjoy seeing
George become enraged.  The way it builds up like a volcano,
eventually leading to an outburst that rarely fails to make
me laugh.

The problem was, there was no build up. It was all volcano spewing and no rumbling beforehand. There was no "eventually leading to an outburst" it was *all* outburst! This is not classic George, IMHO. Classic George is lots of build-up with small outbursts along the way, and maybe a big outburst at the end. (Small outburst: "George is getting frustrated!" Big outburst: "We're living in a society here!")

True, but given the fact that they were at a car dealership,
and George was uptight to begin with, it's like we caught him
in the middle of the assent, and that's why it seemed as though
he went straight to Postal without the buildup we expect and
enjoy.
