He doesnt even really work here!

The fact that porn only makes Elaine hesitate for a moment is another reason why I love her character

Nobody hated The Merv Griffin Show. Sim's endgame is that HE hates it, and he just wants to step up some false premise that it's a really devisive episode so he could justify giving it bad review later on. George's completely bemused expression when he wanders into Kramer's apartment for the first time is utterly

No, I think the writers were being totally dismissive of the internet. Not that I care one way or the other, frankly there are times when I wish it werent around, but the fact that it's Kramer, Bania, and Frank (the very founts of bad ideas) who are big on the Net mean that it could in no way be a long-lasting change

Someone has never heard of Kids In The Hall

Bongo's Clown Room is reference to the long-lived LA dive bar Jumbo's Clown Room.

And I think that it's also a lot of people's least favorite

It is also pretty obvious (at least to me) that Teddy Bomber was Ted Kacynski, so it might also be about the show seeming to make light of terrorism as well as the imagery which dickless media programmers where scarred shitless over (Hell, they were even censoring that had explosive imagery).

There are untapped possibilities in bringing polka to anime

Hmm, yaoi much? In all seriousness, this looks to be a pretty interesting project, especially since it appears that Watanabe is moving out of his comfort zone of heady sci-fi and action fare. Perhaps it may even reflect a bit of the creator's own life in the narrative

Wait, so was Christina Ricci unavailable or something?

So shouldnt you be wearing the bucket?

Yeah, George is definitely the muscle. He could lift a hundred pounds right over his head!

Father Curtis also liked the one about the Pope and Raquel Welsh.

Excuse me, Mother?
Sister.
Sister, right!

Yeah, that one aspect of the story was a bit flawed. It seemed to rely on the notion that Newman would call the restaurant and ask for a reservation for "New Year's Eve, millennium," or whatever Jerry's exact wording was, as if the restaurant wouldn't try to clarify what the hell he was talking about. Still, they had

The Millennium is certainly far from the top, but it's not the bottom either. George's plot was hilarious, from wearing Babe Ruth uniform to the body-suit to dragging the Commissioner's Trophy behind his car. Also it has that great exchange between George and Jerry-
"I never thought I'd fail at failing! I can't do

Maybe she thought Jerry was still Murphy

Ah, c'mon Sims. How could you dislike the Newmanium? It's one of my favorite bits from the show. But you are right that the best part of the gag is the way that Jerry and Elaine take little to no interest in Kramer and Newman's machinations. I think the episode pretty wel captured all the giddiness and stupidity

Yes, you did remember correctly. Wow, it's almost as if you just read that some where!
