The Pigman was intriguing, yet repulsive. Camera angles and everything seemed so different. The bris doctor was positively THE WORST CHARACTER EVER. Kramer has gone too nuts for his own good: what was that move where he steals the baby and jumps up on the couch, then falls off? And no one is worried about the baby getting hurt? UNREALISTIC! BTW, IMHO the low-car-roof scene was way too obvious/easy/broad. I mean gimme-a-break, Elaine must have been sitting on a phone book--she normally doesn't sit that tall: OBVIOUSLY CONTRIVED TO GET CHEAP LAFFS FROM DOPES.

Dear Stooping Too Low, I think maybe you're taking television a little too seriously. Seinfeld isn't a show to be analyzed and judged on every little detail Mark. Relax a little, grab a beer, sit down with some friends and ENJOY THE SHOW! If it was all about camera angles and reality they'd send us all a copy of the script and lighting directions so we could play armchair director. Have some fun, laugh at the absurd, I laughed at your letter!
