Episode 18: The Raincoats Part I

Episode #82; 5:18


Our Summary

Jerry can't hook up with Rachel b/c his parents are staying with him until they go to Paris, which Jerry is paying for. Elaine's guy is a close talker who loves the Seinfelds. George becomes a big brother and then tries to get out of it. We find out that the Seinfelds hate the Costanzas and don't go out with them. Kramer and Morty go into business together in order to sell Morty's "The Beltless Trench Coat"s to Rudy, who also buys George's father's "moth ridden crap".



Our Commentary

Beautiful OCB opens up this beauty of a 2 parter. We get Jack Klompus, back from Weight Watchers, at his best. We also get Aaron the Close Talker, one of the funniest single ep characters. The Costanzas and the Seinfelds are at their peak of funniness and George is great with his ways of getting around the guy from Dream On. We also get a beautiful guy from Overboard and some beautiful moths. Overall, an excellent, well crafted episode by Proctor and Gamble and JS and LD. Adam - Hilarious episode. All is well that ends well.
