Mike Mofitt calls Jerry a phony, and gets into a fight with George over who got the parking spot in order to watch the fight at Jerry's.
Our Commentary
Nice
OCB and
CCB. Beautiful stuff between George and Elaine over George's proficiency in parking and then Elaine spitting it back to him about her proficiency in storytelling, as well as Jerry and Kramer with needing to know information and begging for said information. Great stuff with the entire NYC neighborhood turning into Seinfeld people by analyzing who should get the spot, with people so diverse as an old man and a kid who loves to curse, a pair o' cops, El Sid, and Newman. Overall, a nice little episode. Meaningless in the affair of all things Seinfeld, but still nice nonetheless. Adam - Weak episode. One of the worst of the third season.
