Our Commentary

As a warning before our usual commentary, this ep 's commentary was erased by accident, and therefore we are using our memory in order to reconstruct said commentary. You have been warned.

We start this beauty of an ep off with a rousing OCB. We then continue with a George crazy look and some great Kramer stuff with Jerry's gal. Then we have some great stuff at the Yankee game with some classic George and classic Elaine. The two old people discussing Kramer's picture are hilarious as is the scene at the end of the ep when Kramer is at their mansion. We also get LD's obsession with possees, clicker stuff, a Hey Mike, Chapter 2 stuff, and a Jerry baiting to close us out. Overall, a beauty of an ep . Adam - Great. Enough said.

Errors
*Elaine claims that she is supposed to go to Lippman’s son’s bris, yet his son is 13 in 9:3 The Serenity Now, when he should be 6 years old. (One possibility of this not being an error is that Lippman might have two sons 7 years apart, 13 and 6 years old respectively in Season 9)
