And so did the last 2000 posts of yours on this subject. At least those had some arguments behind them.

Obviously you are not a true fan. The writing is still great and the actors are just getting better after 7 years. Some people hate any change - this season is only second to two seasons ago.

Hmm, two seasons ago--that would be the season that started with the truly awful "Miss Rhode Island" episode, and ended with the even worse "Tanya Harding/Bette Midler episode". While there were some better episodes in between, the last three seasons have been inferior IMO to seasons 3 & 4.

While I agree that the acting is getting better (Jerry is getting better at keeping a straight face, at the very least), the writing has for the most part gone downhill. The characters are too nasty, too over the top-- shadows of their former selves.

And if this means I'm not a true fan, so be it--I'd rather leave my critical faculties intact than mindlessly accept anything labelled "Seinfeld".

I kinda liked Jerrys grinning. Anyway, "The Comeback" and "The Money" have been poor examples of Seinfeld. I think it takes a pure fan to say that. I do think, even without Larry David, the show should show some improvement after this uneven season. We have gotten a lot of great episodes (the little kicks, the package, The Bizzaro Jerry,The Red Light,) that may stand alongside with the past. I miss Larry.

I'm sorry, but what episode was "The Red Light"? I've never heard that name before, so it's probably an alternate name for an episode with a different name...what was the show about?

In article , [email] says...

A chicken roaster restaurant across from Kramer's apt that had a bright red buzzing neon sign.

That is "The Chicken Roaster"...at least, according to NBC it is...

Why did Larry David leave??

How in God's name will the "Bizzaro" episode stand in line with the rest of them? IMHO, it is this episode over all that represents the culmination of the show's downfall this season. Bizzaro would have been funny for a lot of shows where we might have expected that -- but the charm of Seinfeld was the ability to be funny in a show that was relatively about "nothing". Bizzaro was gimmicky, as have a few of the shows I've seen this season.
