In the Statue episode what is the deal with the statue? Did Rava's boyfriend actually steal it? Any idea why? What about that rigmarole of having bought it in Chinatown or wherever and the shopkeeper now being in Singapore?
Seinfeld is not deep stuff, it should not leave the viewers to puzzle things out.
I think Ray did steal the statue from Jerry's. His alibi was too flimsy and uncorroboratable (Is that a word?) As Elaine said, it would have to be a pretty big coincidence otherwise.
(And Rava was dead wrong, there are varying degrees of coincidence. Running into your high school sweetheart at the local supermarket: Coincidence. Running into your high school sweetheart in an airport bar in Malaysia: Much bigger coincidence.)
I'm not sure what "deep" has to do with it, but if you want television that spells every detail out so viewers don't have to "puzzle things out," there's plenty to choose from. I prefer shows (like Seinfeld) that acknowledge the audience's intelligence.
I disagree totally. It is very deep stuff. That's why we can watch reruns and still enjoy them. This is despite the fact, as has been mentioned, that a real moron is in charge of doing the scheduling.
But there were many unanswered question on Seinfeld.
We still do not know:
=======================
Why did she not eat the pie Newman's first name Why did Jerry and Newman hate each other What was George's payroll task What was Jerry's move Why did she wear the same dress Where Elaine's grape went
FROM: THE STOCK TIP ( at Monk's)

(Elaine joins them, they check their watches.)
ELAINE: I know, I know. I'm sorry I'm late.
JERRY: No problem.
ELAINE: I dropped a grape.
GEORGE: Pardon?
ELAINE: I dropped a grape in the kitchen and it
disappeared. I couldn't find it. I was... I was
literally on my knees for ten minutes looking for this
stupid grape. I have no idea where it went.
JERRY: Were you crying? I mean, it's just a grape. You'll find it.
ELAINE: No, I'm just getting over an allergy attack. This guy I'm going out with -
JERRY: Robert.
ELAINE: Robert. Yes.. thank you. He has two cats and I'm
allergic to them. You know, I finally meet a
normal man, and I can't even go into his apartment, you
