I've been watching this group for quite a while and decided that today was a perfect day for my first post in this group. I think I have seen almost every episode (here in Denmark there is a Tv station sending an episode a day. Although I have seem them all, I guess I havn't anything better to do so I just kep watching them :-)

I just wondered why Jerry hates Newmann? I know he does lots af crazy stuff, where Jerry unwillingly gets involved. But most of the times Kramer is involved too but Jerry and Kramer are good friends whereas Jerry really dislikes Kramer. Any commets on this?

Newman is pure evil.

I heard this phrase on the show just the other night. Which brings up a question of a different spin. What other "good" qualities of Newman have been exposed by the troop? I know in the Michigan Bottle Deposit episode, Kramer calls him a genius for figuring out how to make it work.

Elaine: Maybe there's more to Newman. Jerry: No, I've looked into his eyes. There's less.

For no known reason - it's just a perfect source of humor and in line with the rest of the absurdities.

Other "good " qualities of Newman? Excellent tennis player and came climb trees like a ring-tail leamur (sp)?

More significantly I think (but also one of those grating implausibilities in the latter series) he had a gift for flowery language and even poetry (The Soul Mate).
