Last night (Sunday 5/26) I saw an episode where George converts to Latvian Orthodox in order to impress a woman. (Other story lines: one of the nuns was attracted to Kramer and almost left the order because of him. Elaine was dating a podiatrist, so there was some conversation about whether a podiatrist was really a doctor. Jerry found some fungus cream in his date's medicine cabinet and was turned off by the idea that she might have some kind of fungus.)

Comment #1 --I paid particularly close attention, because of the long-running (and annoying) debate going on here about whether George is Jewish. However I did not see anything that clarified this for us (I did miss the first few minutes of the episode). Did anyone see this episode last night?

Comment #2 -- I didn't see this episode on the syndication schedule I printed out from this newsgroup. The schedule includes Saturdays but no Sundays. Does anyone know the name of this episode so I can find it on my list?

The episode is called The Conversion. There was nothing specific about what George's faith was but Jerry implied that George's faith was the same as Mrs. Costanza's with the comment: "Does Mother Costanza etc. " impling that she would be particularly upset by the conversion.
