Our Commentary
An excellent OCB opens up this second pseudo-Season 6 episode. This is just a beautiful episode. Perfect Jerry when he's pseudo-sticking it to Elaine about going to the Poconos and being boyfriend/girlfriend, just to screw her over. Beautiful link with Prognosis Negative. Dr. Siegel and Mulva both show their faces for the first time, with Dr. Siegel having the utmost importance for future eps, while Mulva, not so much. Great subplot of Mulva throughout the ep, and a brilliant finale Mulva, Gipple, and Loliola, and then Jerry screaming out the window Dolores. The entire episode showcases Kramer's genious at comedy with his fighting against Jerry, facial movements, and strange noises that come from him during the Junior Mint falling as well as throughout the ep. Finally, George is great with his triangles shtick, an appearance of Uncle Avi, Georgie crying during Home Alone b/c of the old man, no pun intended, and that he hated the 2nd one b/c he was lost, and that the music during Home Alone was totally not from that movie, and George getting kissed by Roy while Jerry says "that's nice". Was that a run on sentence or what? Overall, an excellent episode, well deserved to be in the Top 50. Actually, I just checked, and it wasn't on the Top 50, so it's now a 3rd Siyum addition. Well done 4:20 The Junior Mint, well done indeed. Adam - Hilarious episode. From The Junior Mint to the fat starving artist. All is well with Seinfeld.
EPISODE GUIDE from Jerry Seinfeld: The Entire Domain by Kathleen Tracy
60."The Junior Mint" (March 18, 1993)
SUMMARY Jerry can't remember his date's name--he just knows it rhymes with a female body part. Elaine visits
an old boyfriend in the hospital for an operation, which Kramer talks Jerry into watching. During the surgery,
Jerry accidentally drops a Junior Mint into the patient.
OF SPECIAL NOTE This episode was the centerpiece of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, in which a male manager was accused of violating the civil rights of a female subordinate while
discussing the episode at the office. When the woman said she didn't know what body part rhymed with "Dolores,"
the manager Xeroxed the page of the dictionary containing the word "clitoris." He was subsequently fired, filed a
lawsuit for wrongful termination, and won.
