Episode #63; 4:23
Our Commentary
Finally, the TV Elaine is great, but even greater is Jerry's hilarious descriptions of Elaine. Also great is Kramer v. Kramer, starring not Dustin Hoffman, but another great actor, Michael Richards, with his, "Whoa. I'm Kramer". An LD "customers only" finishes off this commentary. Overall, a great ep. Overview of 4th season will be in the 4:24 The Pilot Part 2 commentary. Adam - Fabulous episode. Fabulous. Just some funny, funny stuff, all over the place. I enjoyed myself immensely.
