The more time you spend with Kramer, the more services Kramer would ask, the more services you render, the more you'ld be in trouble, that's how Kramer makes people pay ( whatever he helped them first or not ). He's always okay to help, but it's seeing in which his help consists you clearly see it's unfair in comparison of Jerry's help 😆
The best part is that they used that line in season 2, when George is trying to distract his girlfriend while Jerry swaps the tape in her answering machine. "THAT'S what you wanted to tell me? Your father wears his sneakers in the pool?"
I have a special place in my heart for Estelle. I think my life began in earnest when Estelle screamed “you’re not giving away my water pick!” From another room. When I look at her I am mysteriously inspired.
Mrs. Constanza is always worrying about who is going to eat all of the unappetizing food she has prepared, whether its paella or bologna sandwiches. Although paella is said by some - well, George - to be a tasty melange of seafood, meat and rice.
@@GameyRaccoon Right? Paella can be amazing. I was actually impressed that Estelle knew how to make it. The reason why the Seinfelds didn't want to join the Costanzas for dinner wasn't because paella is "unappetizing," but because the Costanzas are intolerable.

He'd have a friend whose pet store goes out of business, and Kramer would help him out, so the whole apartment becomes a zoo. Life with Kramer would be way too chaotic for anyone other than Bob Sacamano.
I used to have the same awful dinners at restaurants with my parents after they were divorced, but my father was still alive just like the one George had at 3:17. There were times I would have liked nothing better than to have gotten up and left.
I heard Jerry Stiller intended to retire and not act again. Kevin James had to talk him into coming out of retirement for King of Queens. According to James it was an uphill battle.
Too much craziness. The only way Seinfeld worked because it was centered around a fairly normal guy surrounded by outrageous characters/friends. It was always centered no matter how crazy it got. A Costanza show would be too much crazy all the time; too much
Spinoffs have rarely been a good idea. like JOEY after Friends, and the absolutely horrible AfterM.A.S.H.. Frasier not too bad because it was in a completely new setting, new plot, new life, new career, new characters and not too much crossover with Cheers.
It happened to me at 44 in 2002. I went upstairs to the bedroom I grew up in , sat down and literally started crying. I felt like George. This episode gets me everytime.
My daughter's grandparents: they are sooooo proud of her, Cousin; Soooooooooo very proud of her surgery successes, my brother; Sooooooooooooo proud 😅😅😅😅
There's at least one where she smiles. Jerry Stiller kept messing up his lines in one scene, and Estelle smiles with amusement, because she clearly thinks it's going to be another ruined take.
The moment where Jerry talks about going out that night and George finally realizes the separation he will now have from his friends is depressing and hilarious at the same time.
When Jerry leaves George at his parents' place, Georges gets startled by the door closing. Such a nice touch by Jason Alexander. I wonder if it was planned or he just added that.

At least his parents had a spare bedroom for him. Where would he sleep at Kramer's place in the hot tub?

To be fair, Frank does have a foot odor problem so taking his shoes off poolside could cause someone to drown from the funk 🤣
Maybe walking around in wet sneakers is CAUSING the foot odor problem. It's a conundrum.
Sir, that information was supposed to be between him and Elaine.
Can't we just appreciate that it is a nice gesture from his parents to invite him for dinner?
