Our Commentary
Ahh, The Old Miss, The Old Man. This is our third time seeing this episode, so for those who can't count, we never saw the episode before starting the Siyumim (plural of Siyum). Excellent OCB and CCB enclose this mediocre ep. Some good stuff with G, J, and E in the beginning of the ep, The Mahatma, and the scenes in Harry's Bleecker record shop with Newman echoing Kramer's insults. George is in rare form while speaking to his old guy and great ending with George and the Senegal woman. Overall, a mediocre episode. Adam - The worst episode in all of Seinfeld. I hate it. Old men to me shouldn't be on TV, they should be in their homes. I don't think they're funny at all, and screaming "you idiot" and stuff like that doesn't make me laugh, but makes me cry. In short, this episode (in Triumph's voice) SUCKED!
