Hey, Am I The Only One...

...That Actually liked Alton Benes? OK, So Alton Wasn't A great Character himself but he brought out the best in Jerry and George. They were so nervous of him, it was hilarious. Please W/B

I thought he was great. Good casting, but there's one little thing that annoys me. In every review I've ever seen, or anywhere that this episode or the Alton Benes character is mentioned, the writers all compare him to Ernest Hemingway. "A writer cut from Hemingway cloth", or "A Hemingwayesque writer" or "portrayed in the style of Hemingway".

I mean, sure it's true, but you'd think SOMEONE could come up with another way to describe him.

Character

Well, OK He is an imposing, man, who um writes good... just like Hemingway... um someone else?? Chugman!!!!!!!!

[email] said this about that:

Actually, he always reminds me more of Norman Mailer.

But the best part is the last scene....him singing "master of the house"!
