Here's what I think:

I'd give it an A.

Ditto.

I agree. One of the funniest episodes ever.

        A.

Ick - I give it a B-. I found myself getting bored.

I'd give it an A, too. Elaine's new writer was hilarious.

I agree - this is the episode that turned "Witchy Woman" into one of my favorite songs.

A+. Wish I'd taped it...

A all the way. I loved "Smart George".

B-. Didn't really like it.

A-, although I did love George's "relationship".

B. I hate episodes with Jerry's parents.

A D??? I'd give it at LEAST a B+.

Loved the way Seinfeld made fun of street gangs. A.

        B-.

        A.

A D??? I thought this was one of the best shows of the season! Haven't you ever been toasted in an argument and then thought of a comeback hours after the fact?

ME? all the time!! The one I didn't really like was the Andrea Doria. Even Kramer at his far out from reality extremes had never been that ridiculous. It just seemed like they were pushing it. Otherwise, I've yet to see an episode I didn't like.

NOTE FROM THE REVIEWER--- Yes. This was probably one of George's greatest plots ever. That's what puts the rest of the episode to shame.
