Episode 2: The Big Salad

Episode #88; 6:2


Our Summary

Elaine simply asks for a big salad, which leads to disaster for George. He pays for it, his gal gives it to Elaine, and accepts the thank you. This gets George pissed off, causing his girlfriend to end up breaking up with him. Meanwhile, Jerry is going out with a gal who Newman once dumped, Elaine must get a mechanical pencil for Mr. Pitt, and must go out with the stationer she originally asked for it, b/c she got it from somewhere else, and he did so much work to get it, and Kramer got into an argument over the rules of golf with Steve Gendason, who ends up killing his dry cleaner. This makes Kramer feel responsible and leads to the end of the episode, where a parody of OJ is done flawlessly.



Our Commentary

Hilarious OCB starts off this beauty of a beat of a b a ute. Great stuff with the stationary store guy, George's obsession with Elaine knowing that it was he, who did not receive the thank you, actually bought Elaine the big salad, Newman dumping Jerry's current gal, Nancy Taylor, and Kramer's bout with Steve Gendason. Hilarious stuff with the OJ chase, without rules there's chaos, poor little Pinkus, and George's defense and then offense against Ensign Ro Lauren. Overall, a great episode with some hilarious stuff. Adam - Good episode, solid stuff. Nothing to fancy, nothing to plain. Just a nice episode.
