No offense to anybody here, but that episode stunk to heck! No Elaine, no Monk's, George was normal and Jerry was boring and Kramer wasn't Kramer. Did I mention, NO ELAINE!!!

What went on in that episode? I don't know any episodes by their names...

Ohhh wait. Is that the one where they spend time in the laundry mat? I thought it was alright.

That was the very first episode, before Lainey appeared. I agree Ms. Benes, that was a bad epi, most of the very early ones were weak.

Kramer was more creepy than cooky.

It just went at a snails pace. There was no momentum or rhythm to that episode.

I agree

Admittitedly, 001 Good News, Bad News (The Seinfeld Chronicles) is not going to make anybody's sein 'Top' list. Remember, it took the show a while to catch on, so apparently the populace agreed....
but for a seindork like myself, an occasional viewing can be of interest.

Like our little website here ( ;) ), no Elaine leaves a gap and the fab 4 is not created yet, that criticism is acknowledged.
... but other occurrences make it notable... it's the 1st ever pilot of what became to be my all time favorite sitcom. Interesting to watch to see it's genesis, if for nothing else.

It does have a different pace, but that is the case with the earlier ones, when it was truly a show about nothing and revolved almost exclusively around the groups idle conversation. It was subtle, not so outlandish generally shied away from the zany, sitcommy type stuff. there were no Soup Nazis, no bizarro Jers and certainly no Maestros!

Some decent G:
G's analysis of Claire's coffee pot handing - the neurosis was beginning.
G talking about "had to" and "maybe" she call.
Waving the handkerchief and telling J about signals... "This is the signal Jerry, this is the signal!"

Big parody on itself: When G & J are at the Laundromat, G says "This is the dullest moment I’ve ever experienced," that is such a joke on the show itself, a joke to themselves on how they pulled off making a show about nothing.

Stand up:
Since the 1st ep ever, J used some of his old classic comedy bits.... being "out," the laundry stuff, dating, signals....

Rare Brew: When G walks into 5A, J hands him a beer.

Oh well.... OK forget it! This ep does suck !!!

:D but the next couple are a little better.

:lol: Good ending to the post Maestro.

The episode was definitely lacking a strong female point of view.

Other than George
