    More Kramer Lunacy

    Kramer has the bright idea to turn the security peephole around so no one can ambush you in your apartment. Really? The landlord takes Kramer's explanation, but decides to get rid of Newman who he sees as a troublemaker. The most focused part has to do with a fur coat that Puddy wears in the winter. During a housewarming party, she throws the coat out the window where it gets hung up. Because it was to be a present (and for other reasons) she now must get it back. George takes money for a present, buys a vibrating recliner, and then keeps it for himself. Jerry becomes fixated on the weight and depth of men's wallets. He ends up with a man-purse. We see George's wallet which about ten inches thick and is causing him serious back pain. The episode is as silly as it sounds.

    This episode always looked different than the rest

    Bword Elaine was unlocked in this one

    Month of review written: April Number date of review written: 1st Year of Review date written: 2023rd Century of review written: 21st

    What was this episode about?: The gang want to get a chair for Joe Mayo. They do the chip in.

    George has a huge waller and uses the chair for his back

    Elaine is a Bword and throws Puddy's jacket out the window for no legit reason.

    Kramer reverses his peephole and tries to save Newman from being deported out of the building.

    Jerry dates a hot girl and becomes effeminate

    The story and the production overview: A weird looking episode that ends up being okay. Only George's Wallet segment is interesting. Jerry'd effeminate bits were funny too...

    Overall, an okay episode for a 7.

    Highlight: George's Wallet

    Laugh meter: 5

    What can be learned: Use a backpack instead of an obesse wallet

    Verdict: It was okay.

    I like the bit where George has a comically large wallet

    • Trivia
      Jerry's girlfriend Keri, played by Jennette Robbins, who says his pants are "nice" at Joe Mayo's party, was in a Dockers commercial in the '90s, where she's on a subway, sees a guy, gets separated from him, and mouths the words, "nice pants," as the train pulls away.
    • Goofs
      Whenever we're shown the inside of Kramer's apartment via the peephole looking in, there's what appears to be a living room immediately in front of the door. However, when Kramer opens the door a wall is in its place, contradicting what the peephole reveals.
