"The Merv Griffin Show" = Mediocre, outlandish.

Justin,

I thought for a minute that you were AWOL this week, but I have to agree with you on a number of points about this episode. The Kramer plot was just too unbelievable. Of course, television sets are sitting in dumpsters. I think Kramer stayed around the dumpster to look for the script from this week. George's plot was a copy of 3rd Rock when Dick hit a chipmunk and it was carried away by a large bird. Elaine is the only thing that really gets me to watch the show, but her story-lines aren't even funny. Jerry is now more of a cartoon character than Joel Schumacher's Batman. I think the only show that bottomed out quicker was Married With Children. The real night for must see TV on NBC is now Tuesday.

Rich Two things that every movie should have: Hockey and Lesbians. (Chasing Amy) SOCK MONKEY Washington Capitals: Let's Go Gacks!!!! The Puff Daddy Millennium is coming Looking for a copy of Jimmy James: Macho Business Donkey Wrestler

This ep did start well, with good ideas but all of the storylines dragged on a bit too long.

Getting out of the house much lately?

For your information, it took one viewing of the episode and about 20 mintues to write what I wrote. We need more people to write extensive reviews of each episode because at this point, I'm the only person who does.

Why? What do you hope to accomplish? Justify your TV time? Listen, the world is wicked and life is wickedly short. I turn on the TV and chuckle at a couple of shows. I pop a CD in the player and listen and sing along like a goon. I smoke a cigar on the porch. I kiss my wife. I go for a nice walk with the damn dog.

I don't need to justify those things. I don't know why I've smoked an occasional cigar since 1980. I laugh a lot at Seinfeld some nights. Not so much others. If I've got a "hot date" on Thursday, I stick some Wal-Mart tape in the machine and watch the show later.

Justin, you must be a nice young man...you know how to work a computer at least. Don't be so hateful to everyone. Don't be so dismissive. Don't shit in the pool. Hang in there. When people flame you back it's not because they're necessarily right and you're wrong, they just are trying to snap your head back a minute, that's all.

I'm NOT coming to your defense because you don't need it; I'm just sending along an encouraging word.

Best wishes,

WT

Thanks Doc.  Every so often it's good to be reminded of what's
truly important in life.   (At the risk of becoming embarrassed,
when I need to 'embrace life', I go into the backyard barefoot
and 'clench' my toes in the grass.  Whatever works, right?)

And then you have a nice visit to this damn newsgroup. If you just watch the show and get on with your life, what are you doing here? What do you expect us to discuss? If we're going to critique the show, why shouldn't we do it in detail. If you want to get on with your goon singing life and all, go right ahead, but as Kramer might say, "When you're on my set, you clean it up, mister." If you're gonna come to this ng, this is what you'll find.

LOL! Wal-Mart tape! I love it!!!!!!

ROFL! "Don't shit in the pool". You mean like the candy bar in Caddy Shack?? DOODY!!!!!!!!

He means well, just perhaps a little self-obsessed...

I think you are mentally ill. It's a goddamn sit com. I think Jerry would call you "an obsessive nitpicking wingnut." Well his name for it might be more clever but I think that would be the gist of it.
