I never saw the one before last night, where Jerry is dating MS. Rhode Island. It was one of the funniest one's I've ever seen. I taped it and didn't get to watch it until about 2 am, and I think I woke everyone up laughing. Especially at the point where they show the shot of the limo with Jerry & Kramer, and Jerry says "Shut the f*$# up". It's not often you get a nice f-bomb intentionally included in a regular tv show. It was a riot. Also, Elaine & Mr. Pitt with the socks. The best was when she was telling Jerry that she couldn't go along to Atlantic City. I thought this was right up there with "The Contest". Anybody else like this one?

Mr. Pitt was and is my favorite boss of all the ones we've seen on the show, including George Steinbrenner and J. Peterman. His pompous imperiousness was incredibly well drawn, and he was a classic New York archetype (talk about ethnic stereotypes--the White Anglo Saxon Protestant as a figure of ridicule). Somehow, the show always deflated him without his even realizing it. So we saw Mr. Pitt in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade towing a punctured balloon, Mr. Pitt speaking to a corporate board of dire ctors inadvertently looking like Adolph Hitler, and Mr. Pitt completely transfixed by Magic Eye "art". The scene with picky Mr. Pitt and all those white socks was hysterical, and I love how the characters all act like children around him. "Hi Mr. Pitt, can I please speak to Elaine?"

I agree, this episode is one of the rare ones that seems to get even better with age. I laugh at it more now than I did when I first saw it. It's one of the episodes where hindsight helps. How can you go wrong with the debut of Mr. Pitt? ("Tomorrow? I was hoping to get my new socks TODAY!"). And Jerry sounding like a little kid, calling Elaine..."Hi, Mr. Pitt! Is Elaine there?"

Also, George with the cotton/polyester switch, and the Yankees' quotes ("Paul O'Neill: 'I never knew ANYTHING could be so soft and fluffy!'"). Not to mention the first known appearance of the famous catch-phrase, "Ehhhh, it's a shame!" TWICE!!! :-)

Well, last night's episode (11/14) was great. A return to what made Seinfeld funny in the first place.

I really liked the change between Kramer and Seinfeld when they switched rooms. I guess it proves that you aren't what you eat, but you are where you live!

The only thing I didn't really care for was the problem Elaine was having with her business. Maybe it is going somewhere in a future episode.
