Listen to your friend Billy Zane. He's a cool dude.
On the week before holidays, we see a surge. On Valentine's Day, we send two trucks. On Christmas, four, packed to the brim. And tomorrow, if history is any guide, will see some spillover into a fifth truck.

Thanks to the magic of DVD, I have finally fully watched the Keith Hernandez two-parter. I'd seen bits and pieces here and there, and tried to put the whole story together, but finally, I understood it all!

Though it was weird, since the DVD put both parts together in one mega episode. The pacing is just weird, especially since part 1 ends on "And you wanted to be my latex salesman," but the episode keeps going. It's like someone continuing a joke even after the punchline's been said.

According to epguides.com, it originally aired as a hour-long episode, so you're experiencing the real deal:

code:
34     3-17      315       12/Feb/92   The Boyfriend (1) 
35     3-18      316       12/Feb/92   The Boyfriend (2)

I love the summary on my DVR for "The Switch": "George suspects his girlfriend (Charlotte Lewis) is bulimic; Jerry dates a woman (Jann Karan)."

Jerry dates a woman, indeed.

Do I remember right and George's concern about the bulimia is that he's buying her meals and not getting his money's worth?

That is correct. He thinks she's "refunding" and he's just flushing his money down the toilet.

And that's why George is my favorite character (Except sometimes when my favorite character is Jerry)

OK so I've read to page 38 of this thread and decided to start watching Curb.

Here's how I am viewing the show now:

George Costanza makes the pilot after a year in jail, becomes wealthy, and Curb is his foibles after Seinfeld made him famous. I'm on "Beloved Aunt" and it seems like a reasonable assessment.

L.D. has said before that George was more or less based off him, so that's an alright way to think about it. However, I'd say it's better to view it as "L.D. is the man and look at all the funny stuff he does!" because he's not always exactly the same as George.

Someone earlier said that half of Jerry's lines could be represented with either the :smug: face, or the :haw: one...I agree.

"Yeah, but he didn't sleep with both of them." :smug:

"I once had a dream that a hamburger was eating me!" :haw:

"I'm covered in oiiiiiiil." :smug:

"Yeah, you better give me the insurance. Because I'm gonna beat the hell out of this car. " :haw:

"And you want to be my latex salesman." :smug:

And, of course, the scene with him smoking a cigar while Elaine pays up for sleeping with Puddy.
