Is it me, or is Seinfeld Season 7 not as funny as the earlier ones? I have just seen "The Engagement" and "The Postponement" on UK BBC2 this week and I thought they were a bit weak, not nearly as sharp and well paced as previous episodes.

Comments???

Are you kidding?????

I think its better than ever... maybe because I've got a little bored with watching the same old eps on video. The rabbi who couldn't keep his mouth shut and George's facial expression at the end of "The Engagement" were just priceless.

What about last night's 'The Maestro'? One of the great Jerry/George exchanges in Monks: G: That's my gift, Jerry. I can sense the slighest human suffering. J: Are you sensing anything right now?

And Jackie Chiles, 'Who told you to put the balm on?'.... Sensational, fantastic...downright hilarious (to paraphrase)

I *loved* the discussion with Kramer in Monk's where George realises how empty his life is. A fantastic piece of acting from Jason!

No.....She went to Wilson High in Long Beach. Didn't she use to go out with Frank??? LOL.. I saw him about two months ago at Dimillos

WE've all heard this "not as funny" coment before and as always it's a matter of personal opinion, but I think it is a better measuring stick to ask: How funny was Season 7 compared to the other comedies being offered on network television at the time? That's the sad part of losing Seinfeld - NOTHING has come close to it since its departure from network, even when talking about the so called "weaker " seasons.

If you are referring to the last season, I agree. I think the plot lines got a little too clever by half. The "backward" show comes to mind. I spent the whole episode trying to get oriented to where they were in the steam of time. Steve Oldham wrote in message news:7r7sj7$ol$[email]...

I loved the backwards show. That was season 9, however, not 7. I disliked almost all the other episodes that final season. As Jerry himself has indicated, without Larry around, the stories got less realistic. Too bad. But still good ;)
