NY Daily News on Seinfeld

Shit, I guess we'll just have to increase our Seinfeld--jacking.

 

I'm glad they gave "The Contest" top billing. Most casual fans will remember the "Soup Nazi" first, but I think the "Contest" is unparalleled.

 

The Bizarro Jerry: I didn't mind that one at all. It had "man hands" and the meat-packing plant-turned model haven. Plus it showed how terribly needy the three guys actually were.

The Pen and The Little Kicks: I liked The Pen a lot, though Jason Alexander didn't. He and Michael Richards weren't in that one, and Alexander said, "The next time you decide to leave me out of a script, write me out for good." The Little Kicks was great. The bootlegging was hilarious, and "Cry, Cry Again" is a movie I'd love to watch.

 

You are right, Kirk, but I'd like to know how the hell "The Cheever Letters" was left out of the Top Five.

 

You got it, Mojambo.

 

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, "The Contest" may be the greatest half hour in TV History.

"I'm out!!"

Never get sick of that episode.

("As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly" is a strong runner-up.)

 

Hey now--just remember, when you control the mail, you control information!

 

It really is just about perfect.

 

And inspiring.

 

I hope you could last longer than Kramer.

 

Yes. But there wasn't a naked woman across from my neighbor's apartment.

 

I hope you didn't resort to Glamour magazine.
