Question

Fans discuss what was wrong with Jerry's girlfriend who resembled Marcia Brady, debating whether the issue was her perfection, age difference, or the characters' unexplained disapproval.

In last night's episode (25th), why didn't George and the K-man like Jerry's Marcia Brady lookalike girlfriend? What was wrong with her other than the fact that (a) she had no messages; (b) first date was her birthday; and (c) Jerry's parents liked her.

The one thing never mentioned in this episode is the obvious age difference between Jerry and Marcia (actually, Maureen McCormack would have been more appropriate age-wise).

I've always assumed it was a not-so-subtle reference to the Jerry-Shoshanna relationship.

more questions, like (a) how could they tell this just by looking at her, and (b) what business did George have descriminating against losers anyway?

Has no-one ever watched a Brady Bunch movie?? The recent ones? The actress is Christine Taylor, she played Marcia.

And she is hot, with incredible "fitness chick" legs!

Well, knowing the K-man and George, they could spot a loser in an instant. George was born that way, and Kramer has had tons of experience. Now, George probably discriminates against losers because he doesn't want to be associated with them anymore than he already is.

I feel that of the four, Kramer deserves to be parolled. He is the least self-involved of the three.....pros.....cons.... please write. Thanks.

I agree, but here's my reason why the others SHOULDN't ger parolled:

ELAINE: Definitely looking to spread a disease with all the sleeping around she does; GEORGE: A loser who has no desire to work honestly for a living, doesn't respect his parents and thinks he's better looking than he'll EVER be. He should be grateful for any date he can get, let alone pick the women apart and break up with them; JERRY: Really an okay-Joe, just a bit whiney and spoiled. He personifies the typical NY yuppie who spends $1.50 on bottled water because the tap is not good enough for him. He should get parolled, but only with about a year's worth of community service where he can see how the "little people" live!

Anyone else share my views? STEVE J MARKUS wrote in message ...

Looking to spread a disease? Where, other than your own head, could this idea have come from?

Now you just sound jealous.

Nope. Jerry should never have to consort with "little people".

I agree. Is there a "Free Kramer" website. If not, maybe I'll start one.

Perhaps he needed a better lawyer. If you think about it he was the only one doing anything useful. He was gathering evidence video while the others did nothing. He has been unjustly imprisoned. A retrial is indicated.

It is one of those Seinfeld mysteries that make the show so good. Why did Jerry's girlfriend refuse to eat the apple pie in an earlier episode? It's these little things in life that drive Jerry crazy.

I had always assumed she wouldn't taste the pie because Jerry had
already eaten from it.  Like the pecans in "The Doodle".

BUT, if that turned her off, she wouldn't have been scarfing (sp?) down Sloppy Poppie's special pizza.

You are correct! Unless we assume she figures she already has all his germs anyway. A flimsy rationale. The aversion to pie remains a mystery!

Yeah, but didn't Kramer say he saw her at Monk's eating apple pie? [email] replace EYE with I (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.) Seinfeld FAQ http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/7217/faq.html

before the pie even arrived that she had had "just enough" to eat. She probably is the type who doesn't like to make herself full to the point of discomfort. She didn't want any pie because that would have been more than she wanted. Why she was so mysterious and secretive about it remains a mystery though.
