"Shicks" Appeal Real???

After watching the newest Seinfeld, can someone tell me if it is real or just like the "..Yeti or it's North American counterpart, the Sasquatch?" And can Rabbi's date?

Rabbis can date if they want to. There's no vow of celibacy.

And there's no such thing as 'shiksappeal'. There is no special allure that non-Jewish women have over Jewish men.

What kind of question is that?

The "shiksa" fetish thing--and by the way, the word, meaning "non-Jewish girl," is generally not thought to be flattering--was done to death by Woody Allen. As a Jewish man, I do not know anyone with this kind of obsession. Yikes! And rabbis are not celibate; they date and marry just like people in non-clerical professions. It only seems to be Catholic priests/nuns, among the western religions, for whom celibacy is a job-related issue.

Exactly. Woody Allen put this plot in every movie for about 20 years. Maybe it was funny the first time, but it ceased being funny around 1970. I don't think even Woody is still doing it. The writers on Seinfeld seem to have gotten very lazy this season and are just repeating things like this. Maybe they don't think anyone can remember Woody Allen's movies.

Because a theme is used in movies, it can't be used in *one* TV episode? Then you'll have to berate about half the TV shows out there (or more). Plus, many Seinfeld fans probably never watch Woody Allen movies. I've never seen any of them, but I love Seinfeld....and thought the shiskappeal episode was great!

Let's get off our high horses, here, OK? I mean, they aren't writing the show *just for you*!

You've never seen a Woody Allen movie? I recommend that you do. Aside from being quite funny, you will notice many Seinfeld like items in them, which you should enjoy if you are a Seinfeld fan.

Woody Allen kicks ass.   His best movie was the one he filmed
in Manhattan that included a guy, who looked a lot like Michael Richards,
saying "These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

To understand the shicksa appeal, you should rent Woody Allen's "Annie Hall." It says it all.

I expect a little more than a copy of a tired Woody Allen sketch that's been done about a hundred times. It hasn't been funny since Jerry Ford was president. If we wanted to see a tired and repetitious show we'd all watch ,say Murphy Brown.

Rabbis can date, and they are supposed to get married, but premarital sex is not allowed. Theoretically, anyway.
