😐 Mixed🔥 Controversial

Fans debate whether Jerry reads the newsgroup after Newman appears in the episode, with mixed opinions on the character's comedic value and discussion of production timelines.

I think we have proof that Jerry reads a.t.s. The evidence is difficult to refute...

OK, maybe I'm going overboard a little bit, but isn't it strange that just as the George-bashing gets heated up he brings in the universally despised (even by his J himself) NEWMAN!

I'd really like to pinch this guy's head off. Send him back to Faber College, 1962 and don't let him come back. The only thing this actor ever said that was funny was "Women, you can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em", or maybe "So where do you go to school?". OK, enough not-so-vague references to Animal House.

I swear, though, it's as if Jerry knows when to let all you G-haters (of which I am not one) know that it could be worse, much worse.

    Did it ever occur to you that they don't shoot the episodes that come out on
    Thursdays the week before!  So if Jerry read the newsgroup and wanted to
    react accordingly, we wouldn't be able to "watch" it for at least a couple of
    weeks, maybe even month.  Anybody out there know how long in advance they
    shoot the shows???

"I beg to differ..." to speak with Kramer. I think Newman is one of the funniest regular 'once-in-a-while-appearing' characters on the show. I still remember him and Kramer in court (The Yo Yo Ma episode), and his performance last week was outstanding as well

just one more thing, are you related to Rush ???

Ok, so who is it?! If Jerry's reading this board, then he's definitely posting to it, too! What nom de plume could he be using?!

It wouldn't be...*MARK LIMBAUGH*...would it? ;)

Personally, I think the Newman character is great; he appears on the show just often enough. The interaction between him and Kramer never ceases to amaze me, in particular the court room scene where Kramer claimed his life long aspiration was "to be loved and to be a banker".

Enough said. YO YO MA.

I don't think the guy who plays Neuman played Flounder in Animal House, if that's what you're implying.

I caught that reference as well. I think they read the net! BTW that is not t he guy who played Kent "Flounder" Dorfman in Animal House.

Stephen Furst played Flounder. He was also on "St. Elsewhere" for a few years.

That's a Classic II in the corner isn't it? I also noticed an LC or LC2 on the airline desk in Detroit where George was trying to get half price on his airline ticket. Shouldn't there be a dumb terminal at a airline desk instead of a CPU, especially a Macintosh? Does Seinfeld have stock in Apple or something, anyways I think it's great they use Macs, it shows they have some intelligence in selecting computers. --Jeff

I noticed two LCII systems at the first ticket counter (when they were buying tickets) and one LCII at the second (when George was trying to get his refund).

Of course as everybody could tell that the setting was the same for both airports, if there were 2 in New York and only 1 in Detroit, were they giving a hint that Detroit Airport would only have 1 because the other got stolen. (Just Kidding, I get Detroit News on cable here) I'm using an LCII now, great computer, a little slow though. --Jeff

You but I'll be upgrading it to an LCIII, does anyone know, if the LCIII has stereo output, because the LCII does not. hmmmm....seems that we have become off topic here a bit from the newsgroup, anyone seen the preview for Thursday's show yet???
