I'm sorry. I have pretty much liked all the episodes from this season, but that one (2-24) just reeked.

a) Did anyone else think there were just a few too many midgets (sorry, little people) working on the soap opera? I'm not that familiar with soaps, but I don't think there's enough children working on them to require 45 midget-stand-ins.

b) I realize a regular viewer of Seinfeld can sometimes see the plot unfolding before it does, but Jerry killing the guy with laughter was a little too predictable (not to mention stupid).

c) Elaine's date says he's about to piss himself, and when Elaine looks down, that's the impression you get. This would've been hilarious, and at least more realistic than what did happen. People just don't whip it out in mid-conversation to give it some air. It was so out of the blue that I couldn't believe that that was what Elaine was referring to. Do we know whether or not the guy knew he was exposed? How can you not know? I just don't get it, but then again, I'm Canadian, what do I know? Maybe you guys do it differently down there?

d) Where were the usual classic lines? George was his usual self, so his lines were okay. Jerry's line about the mental institution was the only good one I can think of.

Bring me reruns from earlier seasons, I need to get that one out of my system.

If there are people out there that enjoyed that episode, flame away! I'd like to hear your reasoning.

I thought this was pretty funny. (However, I realize that you said that George was okay)

Yeah, that's it. So, remember that the next time you come down south. Just whip it out in the middle of a conversation with a member of the appropriate sex . . .

About the episode: A "friend" who turns out to be a good companion over an evening suddenly whipping "it" out: an anti-George! Maybe they should develop the guy's character more . . .

Add my name to those that just did not understand the moral/humor with the "little" people, although the sight of that little guy flinging himself at Kramer was hilarious.

An anti-George... that's pretty good... George's arch-nenemsis, who goes around, romances George's dates and George is stuck, he can't do anything, because he's George.

I take it my local station didn't air Seinfeld, even though there was
a new episode this week?  I just love 'em....

My impression was that he was readying himself for a sexual encounter--Elaine was leaning over to kiss him, after all. Not that it makes it right--it was disgusting. In answer to your geographical question--yes, men do it differently here. It's just too cold in Canada for penises to make such dramatic entrances ;).

yes, and midget stand-ins for children... never heard of that... but that was funny

They should have wrapped this up better... just leaving it at the end... what's the deal?

We do do it different here in america... :) I watch it at work for about 15 minutes and then when I get home I watch the whole thing through. Well this time I caught the last 15 minutes and Elaine looked down I didn't understand what she was looking at... I didn't get it at first. I thought maybe I missed someithing in the begining, but I didn't cause there was no mention of it. They should have worked on it better, the conversation after ward between Jerry and Elaine, I mean.
