    1st episode of the season was, once again, a classic.
    
    Synopsis follows form feed
    
    Elaine applies for Jackie O's old job, but winds up getting a job
    as a personal assistant to one of the Editors, who is VERY fussy about
    everything.
    George, in his new job with the Yankees, gives advice to EVERYONE,
    but especially Danny Tartabull, Buck Showalter and Don Mattingly
    with disastrous results.
    Jerry gets a date with a Miss America contestant, and in need of a
    chaperone, brings along Kramer who it turns out knows EVERYTHING about
    beauty pageants. Kramer becomes the personal adviser to Miss Rhode
    Island, with disastrous results (sort of).

> 1st episode of the season was, once again, a classic.

	Well I wouldn't put it up there with the classic Seinfelds
	(at least in MHO, I wasn't rolling .....)

	To you tell the truth I was kind of disappointed with the
	season openers for my four favorite [still running] sitcoms,
	ie. Wings/Fraiser/Seinfeld/Mad About You.  They weren't bad,
	but after a summer of re-runs I was hoping for something
	great .....
31.4out of tune a bitSWAM1::MEUSE_DASat Oct 01 1994 06:2611
    
    The first two shows have been ok, but not great.
    Kramer, my favortie character. Seems a bit overplayed. Much more
    excitable and pushy than last year. 
    
    Things are a bit out of sync for some reason. 
    
    Still a funny show for me.

I thought last nights Seinfeld was one of the best - this show always makes 
me grin, but I was LOL, especially during Kramers scenes where he is talking 
about his underwear... "but my boys need to be secure"
31.7a couple good lines but still predictableICS::STUARTWhatever it takes.Sat Jan 07 1995 03:4915
Oh good ! an original story line !

Elaine asks Jerry if he's noticed something odd about his girlfriend ....

Jerry goes out of his way to bring it out and ruins the relationship.

"Cosmo" does the same to George.

The story lines have the same style, even with Elaines boy friends....
Jerry and the Masusse, the girl with the laugh, are the breasts real ...etc

They need some new material !


31.8That you have access to...RNDHSE::WALLShow me, don't tell meTue Jan 10 1995 04:306
    
    I thought George's line, once he heard about how his plan for Jerry to
    execute the roommate switch turned out, was one of the funniest things
    ever said on television.

    	In the "Are they real or are they fake" episode, was that Teri
    	Hatcher [Lois Lane]?  Sure looked like her.

    yes
    
31.11PCBUOA::LPIERCEDo the watermelon crawlSat Feb 04 1995 10:416
    
    Yes, that was Lois/Terri Hatcher. It's kinda funny, becasue Jerry 
    has allwasy wanted to date a Lois and have her look like Lois Lane. He
    has mentioned this meny times - and in that episode, he had Lois.

    I thought last night's show was great, especially Cosmo Kramer.  I bet
    Michael Richard will get the Emmy for this show.  I think they did a
    great job with the Jimmy storyline.

    	Saw a re-run the other night, when Kramer burns down Susan's
    	family's cabin with a cigar.
    
    	Well, Naomi was none other than Gloria from "Hope and Gloria".
    
31.14SusanPCBUOA::LPIERCEThe Truth is Out ThereFri May 17 1996 12:3115
    
    I'm kinda upset at lastnight ep' in regards to Susan
    
    [hit next unseen if you didn't see lastnights show]
    
    
    
    
    I was stunned that they killed Susan off, I was more stunned they gave
    George and the rest of the cast no emotion at all cept' for the happy
    feeling inside that George does not have to be married.
    
    I was left w/a weird feeling after that show.

It did seem rather gruesome, didn't it?

It failed to strike me as "funny" as well.  Perhaps, with the coming year
being its last season, they're making a concerted effort to turn us off to
the show so we won't complain when it's gone.

    	Spolier:
    
    
    	Well, I wouldn't say they were emotionless ... it seemed that
    	George was somewhat relieved to be out of the wedding, but he
    	also seemed to be upset that it ended this way.  He wasn't
    	jumping for joy.
    
31.17exTOLKIN::LEVINEFri May 17 1996 19:039
    Last night's show made me cringe....I thought "Seinfeld" was better
    than stooping to that kind of humor.  I was totally turned off by the
    reference to being killed in a plane crash.....that could have been
    edited out....the Valujet plane crash isn't even a week old, they
    should never have aired that.
    I find humor related to people dying not very funny......I thought the
    show totally crossed the line last night.......the ending was extremely
    callous and left me cold.
    One person's opinion!
31.18BUSY::SLABOUNTYCareer Opportunity Week at DECFri May 17 1996 20:275
    
    	Ummm, that episode was probably filmed weeks ago, and I'd say it
    	was certainly way too late to change it between the time of the
    	crash and now.
    
31.19WONDER::REILLYSean / Alpha Servers DTN:223-4375Fri May 17 1996 23:319
    
    Well, folks, c'mon, every character in Seinfeld is Shallow with a capital
    S.  I'm actually surprised that it took this to make people cringe, as
    most of the attitudes represented (sort of selfish/anal-retentive)
    haven't been much different than last night's.  I mean, it was part of 
    the fun.  Did you actually "like" the characters before this (aka would 
    want to hang around with them)?
