Episode 3: The Pledge Drive

Episode #89; 6:3


Our Summary

Jerry agrees to do a telethon on PBS for his possible gal, who gives him a thank you card. He throws it out, and she finds out. So, Jerry has to ask George to get a Yankee to come on the show. Kramer gets to be a person who answers the phone at the telethon. Meanwhile, Elaine sees that Mr. Pitt eats a candy bar with a fork and knife. This leads to the whole world doing so, by way of George, who did so to impress Mr. Morgan, to get Danny Tartabull on the telethon, in order to class up the organization. George also thinks that the waitress, Julia's half sister, Lauren Bowles, is giving him the finger, as well as a guy with a cast, to both George and Danny Tartabull, which makes them end up missing the telethon. Also, meanwhile, Elaine's friend Noreen is dating a high-talker that sounds like Noreen, which causes mayhem regarding their relationship, Jerry, Nana, (who wanders around the city looking at banks) and eventually, Uncle Leo.



Our Commentary

Hilarious OCB starts off this excellent episode. Hilarious stuff with the street tough (It BURNED!), Take a listen:

eating FREE CANDY with utensils, first Nana and Morgan, not to mention the second ep for a Mr. Danny "The Bull" Tartabull, Uncle Leo at his usual level of brilliance, Kramer saying, "We here at PBS", like he's running the place/show. Overall, just a solid hilarious episode. Adam - Funny episode. Funny, funny episode.
