Question

Fans explain that "Serenity Now" is a relaxation technique Frank Costanza uses to calm himself when upset, comparing it to a similar catchphrase from The Honeymooners.

What exactly does Serenity Now! means? I haven't seen the beginning of the episode so I didn't quite get it.

Thanks Nur

Frank Costanza is supposed to say those words when he gets upset in order to calm himself! But of course Frank can't even do that calmly.

The Serenity Now ============== George: What is that?

Frank: Doctor gave me a relaxation cassette. When my blood pressure gets

too high, the man on the tape tells me to say, 'Serenity now!'

George: Are you supposed to yell it?

Frank: The man on the tape wasn't specific.

That used to be part of my sig until the new MR show 'showed up'

What I found amusing...if you will, was _The Serenity Now_ technique Frank Costanza was told to use, was somewhat liek an old episode of _The Honeymooners_.

Ralph Kramden was flipping out at times, and was told to say a phrase to himself when he got po'd at something.

It was "pins and needles, nedles and pins...it's a happy man that grins" After he said that, he was supposed to foprget what got him riled to begin with. Of course...it didn't work. ;-)
