Episode 11: The Alternate Side

Episode #28; 3:11


Our Summary

LD steals Jerry's car. Kramer is in a Woody Allen movie. Elaine tries to dump her really old boyfriend with bushy eyebrows, but he has a stroke before she can do so. Because of George's bad parking jobs, everything in the ep goes haywire.



Our Commentary

OCB decent, no CCB, utterly brilliant Larry David on the phone. We don't know why Julia is dying of laughter in The Clip Show Part 2 during a classic reservations scene but still good nonetheless. Elaine the whore with the dirty old man followed by Kramer and "These pretzels are making me thirsty" renditions. Stimply magnificently beautiful of Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer acting as doctors for Owen. Beautiful ending and linking of the whole ep intertwined brings one of the great LD eps to a close. Adam - Two thumbs up. Way up.
