Audience members in the Ed Sullivan Theater, who were watching Richards on a screen, began laughing at Richards at first, thinking that the interview was a comedy skit, until Seinfeld admonished them, saying, "Stop laughing. It's not funny."

Careful Jerry, don't let Kramer hear you say that.

Man, the apology was awkward. Michael Richards looks like the Nazi dad from "American Beauty" these days. And it's impossible for me to separate the actor from his character in "Seinfeld", so thanks Michael, you've tainted the greatest sitcom ever written.

I'm trying to believe that he was trying to make some kind of Chris Rock/Richard Prior type joke and just ended up making a complete cock of himself.

Fuck knows what was going on in his head, but it does seem like he just saw red and exploded.

Like I mentioned on rllmuk2 when it was first posted, there's an out-take where Richards slaps Julia Lous Dreyfus in the face after he loses patience with her giggle fit.

Really? How big a slap is it, and how does she react?

Seinfeld is slowly being ruined for me :(

It's taken me around six months but I've done it - just finished watching every single episode. It really was a joy. Nearly every single episode was a beauty, and the characters simply complimented each other perfectly.

So many highlights, loads I've probably forgotten, but Frank Costanza is one of the greatest comedy creations ever. It's the straight-faced, horrid lunacy that cracks me up. One of the funniest lines he came out with was when he had George and Braun selling computers, and George outdid Braun by faking some sales.

Frank (shouting as normal): " Hey, Braun, I got good news and bad news. And they're both the same: you're fired."

Plus as mentioned you've got the festivus scene: "And at the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and you tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year."

Hell, I'm practically having a giggling fit here just thinking of it.

George comes a close second, mind. In nearly every episode he ended up with the rabbit-in-the-headlights look, the winner of which has to be 'The Outing'. When he bursts in with his girlfriend to prove he's gay only to see Jerry kissing the reporter, the way he's staring at her and desperately reaches up to stroke Jerry's head.

Oh, one last favourite bit is 'The Chinese Woman', the look on Jerry's face when she says 'this is really getting ridicurous'.

:wacko:

Best comedy ever? It's certainly up there.

Heehee, look what I just found:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/42721.stm

Loooooooool:

But at least one New Yorker is happy that Jerry Seinfeld is calling it quits.

And Al Yeganeh, made famous in the popular "Soup Nazi" episode, says it is good riddance to bad rubbish.

Mr Yageneh, who closed his shop, Soup Kitchen International, in midtown Manhattan on Friday to avoid the publicity of Seinfeld's decision, says Mr Seinfeld is an "idiot".

"That guy, he make me crazy with all the publicity, I burn my soup and my quality goes down because I am constantly distracted."

NO SOUP FOR YOU

The scene with George and Frank in bed together during the closing credits of The Doorman is sublime.

It might be in this link.

The whole Costanza family is comedy gold, George is a personal hero of mine, so many good moments. The Contest,

Festivus "Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

"

The Opposite, "I don't drink coffee", too many to list. or when Kramer sold all his stories to Peterman.

Really miss this show, wish Paramount would start showing it again, thank fuck there's new Curb on the way this year.

Sorry for the bump but Season 9's coming out on the 9th November. It's the one I've watched the most and contains my favourite episode, The Merv Griffin Show. Each character has a great storyline (Kramer has the Merv Griffin set, Jerry is going out with the woman with all the cool toys, Elaine is dealing with the Sidler and George finds that the pigeons have broken the deal).

The Butter Shave, The Serenity Now, The Reverse Peephole and The Betrayal (played back-to-front). All great stuff. I hadn't realised that Larry David returned to write the final episodes.

I love Seinfeld......... except series 8. I think the show took a bit of a nose dive without Larry. I didn't know Larry co-wrote some of the last season though, brilliant.

a favourite quote:

George and Jerry have to take a break in the toilet from talking to Elaine's dad. They are talking about forgetting the dinner they are suppoed to be having with the dad and Elaine, and Jerry asks George what they are supposed to say...

George: 'Just tell him we are frightened and are leaving'

My full box set arrived today. A bit annoying that you couldn't get the coffee table book with just season 9 as I had the others already. Expect some trading folder bargains soon! The full set box is quite nice and much more compact than them individually. You get two sort of book style disc holders, one for season 1-4 and the other for 5-9. Along with that you get the coffee table book. Not about coffee tables, and doesn't fold out into one either. But it does have episode descriptions and quotes. Not worth buying the set for, just nice as a bonus.

How many eps are there?

180, you lucky bastard.

I've been watching the DVDs with the wife as they've been released over the years. She didn't like it initially, but it grows on you rather quickly as you get into the characters (I have a friend who was exactly the same with it). Prior to having a baby, we'd devour an entire series (with every single ep new to her - lucky so and so) over a single weekend. We just watched the second-last episode today.

I found, from only starting to buy the DVDs last year, it really kicks on from Season 2 in both ideas and characters.

I was just about too young to enjoy it as much as the slapstick of Fresh Prince yo and it ended in repeats not long after I started watching them regularly.
