I had forgotten. That's when George had hair, Jerry's hair was still a bad cut. Didn't Elaine come in a little later?
"I'm not goin' along. I can just see you in Berlin in 1939 goose-stepping past me: 'C'mon Jerry, go along, go along...'"
I don't think Elaine was in that first episode. George had more hair. But his character in that episode was really kind of grating - not very funny and kind of forced. Guess it took a few episodes to work him out. Kramer was much different too - I think they wrote him at first as kind of a scuz ball - and his hair was normal, instead of the big hair.
Yeah, George was just a Woody Allen rehash at that point.
You could say the TV / parking garage episode was the first "real" Seinfeld episode, the first one steeped entirely in the Seinfeld ethos. It's the one that made me sit up and take notice.
"There's too much urinary freedom in this society. I'm proud to hold it in. It builds character."
Move.. Move.. What's that on my leg?
"Let me just finish my coffee, and then we'll go watch them cut that fat bastard up."
You like the pen? It's yours. Go on; take the pen.
"It's like a sauna in here."
- Kramer, sitting in a sauna
Kramer in men's shower: Oh I'm watching you. But this guy's really showing me something.
"A guy who's about five foot eleven, he's got uh, a big head and flared nostrils."
- Kramer describing Jerry
"Like, a horse face, big teeth, and a pointed nose."
- George describing Jerry
"A short guy with glasses, looked like Humpty Dumpty with a melon head."
- The ticket lady describing George
"A pretty woman, you know, kinda short, big wall of hair, face like a frying pan."
- George describing Elaine
"Have you seen a tall, lanky dufus with a bird face and hair like the bride of Frankenstein?"
- Elaine describing Kramer
"C'mon George, relax. Just because they look alike doesn't mean you're secretly in love with Jerry."
"What do I need to talk for, huh? What, to blab to the neighbors about how George has a new femme Jerry-friend? To tell everybody at the coffee shop how George is all mixed up in a perverse sexual amalgam of some girl and his best friend? See now, I've done all that. Now it's time for silence."
And Kramer baking himself on the roof? The great post office truck drive?
"Oh man, I think I cooked myself."
"Wait a minute. Do I have to ask?"
"Well, I ran out of butter, so I had to borrow yours. Anything else, Mr. Nosey?"
"Why are you buttering your face?"
"I'm shaving with it."
"Oh, Moses smell the roses!"
"I'm fried."
"Technically, you're sauteed. So what are you doing for that?"
"I just gotta keep my skin moist so I don't dry out."
"Is that what the doctor said?"
"I read an article in Bon Apetit Magazine."
Saved his life? By what - curing a big ZIT?
Sigh - when do they start the re-runs again?
And - are we ever to get "The Family Guy"?
I'm sorry to have to tell you it is on four times a day here, some days six.
Family Guy?
"The woman had an orgasm under false pretenses. That's sexual perjury!"
"Oh that Meryl Streep. She's such a phoney baloney!"
Family Guy had some good moments.
Is that an american sitcom? Name sounds familiar, but I can't place it.
It was a cartoon about an urban family, with a talking dog, and a baby bent on mass murder or at least world domination. It had zany moments and gags that often went flat. I watched it as often as I could.
