Overall, I thought the seasoner opener was pretty good - definiteley better than last year opener "The Foundation". And remember (as most will agree), each season improves as the year goes on.
Few people have mentioned the opening of the show - The Mustaches. I couldn't stop laughing. Instead of taking a vacation, they grow mustaches to take a "vacation from themselves". Late Kramer come in with a mustache---I fully expected Elaine with a mustache.
Kramer using Jerry's butter to shave was also funny as was Jerry's response when Kramer asked him to feel his skin. The progression to Kramer "sauteeing" himself was a bit over the top but still funny. I LOVED Newman reading "Alive" while Kramer basted himself.
George's segments were probably the most consistently funny. The stroller segment was irreverant but hilarious. I loved the use of Sheena Eastons "Morning Train" (the second time - remember when Kramer gets a job) as George gets carried by his secretary to his office.
The Elaine segments were somewhat slow though her responses to "Vegetable Lasagna" were funny. Plus, I love the references to the shows past : David Putty, Banya ("I KILLED, Jerry") and Jerry's ex (with the toothbrush in the toilet). Always good seeing old characters (don't try too hard, though) ---I'm still waiting for Babu's comeback.
Thought this episode rated a B with quite a few chuckles. Keep it up!
