Elaine is in Europe with Doc Reston, or in reality pregnant with Brad Hall's baby. The police think Kramer is a serial killer, George annoys Roger Dorn and George Wendt, who then make fun of him on Leno minus Leno. We have to wait till Part 2 in order to see what happens to Kramer and if Jerry and George meet up with him.
Our Commentary
We start off the fourth season with a bang! The ep is nice, but more importantly we have the peripheral character who puts all others to shame. She has been in more episodes than the next top 5 peripheral characters combined and her first episode is only this one, the start of season 4. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Ruthie CohenAKARuthie C. Anyway, back to the ep: We start off with an awesome OCB, we know people like Ira who do this and we are the people who go on the moveable walkways and stand still, otherwise you can just walk on the floor! Perfect Georgisms in the opening of the ep. not to mention his "Morning Mist", followed by some beautiful Kramer at the auditions and with Number 3 minus the huge mole. Some Sunset Blvd. spoofs, beautiful tuck/no tuck with Jerry, George, and Lupe', as well as George defending her. No doubt about it, George would have had sex with her had Jerry not been there. Then we get some great stuff with George and Corbin Benson and George and George Wendt, and then them making fun of Georgy boy. Finally, I love the cops with their cliched attitudes, mannerisms, and dialogue, but when another cop tries to get in on the action with "on her person" they shoot him down. Stimply hilarious. Adam - Great episode. Starts off the 4th season with a bash, a birthday bash.
