Fans find the episode weak and forgettable, with only scattered amusing moments, though one appreciates George's physical comedy; discussion includes questioning Kramer's downtown fear plot point.

Hey, I'm no 'Seinfeld sucks this season' kind of guy, in fact, I think that this season has had some great eps (esp. "The Frogger"), many very good ones, and some weak ones, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER SEASON, but I think that last night's was definitely a weak effort. Some amusing little phrases and interactions, but nothing that seemed too memorable or that played out well. The best part was when George was flailing like a monkey before being dubbed Koko.

I agree. It was weak. I also am not a basher of recent Seinfeld episodes. However this one was forgettable. What was the deal with Kramer being afraid of downtown?

Regarding the Kramer afraid of downtown

In NY neighborhoods are so compacted and so complete in themselves, that people spend a lifetime in a ratio of 10 blocks. My parents live in The Bronx. My father has never been to Manhattan (let alone Downtown)
