Jerry's fridge repairman in the "The Tape"
Does anyone else get a kick out of Jerry's chatty, overly-passionate, slightly man-childish bald fridge guy (John Apicella), as well as Jerry's sarcastic, uninterested, responses to him, from the first scene of "The Tape?" To me, he's one of the best parts of that show. I

A good read, as usual
"The Chinese Restaurant" is my all-time favorite episde, I love "The Jacket," and I'm a pretty big fan of "The Baby Shower." I agree that George's speech about what he will finally tell Leslie is the best part of "The Baby Shower" and one of George's greatest moments altogether. The monologue is

Speaking of Morty worrying about how a funeral is going to set him back…

Reviews
Very acute observations, Mr. Sims, particularly your insights on George, how he, not Kramer, was really the most revolutionary character of all and his fascinating perceptions of how the universe works and breaks down.

Thank you, conky.

Thanks, Mr. Sims!
As the show's most fervent worshipper (as evidenced by my screen name here), I thank you for starting a regular column reviewing it.

Solid episode
Good write up, Nathan. Thank you for noticing and acknowledging what nice piece of physical comedy Carell delivered trying to resist the adorable charm of the otter.

Just for shits and giggles, here's my cast list for this awful, awful concept for a movie:

Very good piece indeed, Zack.

Creed Bratton
Considering Van Damme was the star of JCVD and Creed Bratton has a recurring but very background role on The Office, wouldn't Bratton playing Creed Bratton as a creepy, soft-spoken, brain-dead, and homeless sexual deviant working for a plummeting, poorly-managed paper supply comany in Scranton, PA as a

Leon doing the Seinfeld DVD commentary
Brilliant idea, Ms. Gillette.

Mr. Tagahashi
Did anyone notice that Tagahashi (Dana Lee) was one of the customers Larry encountered during his short stint as a car salesman in the aptly-named season 2 opener "The Car Salesman."
