The Scofflaw

Even slightly weaker episodes of Seinfeld were better than most comedies on TV at the time. In this one, a friend tells everyone that he has been battling cancer and everyone knows but George. George wasn't told because he can't keep secrets. He goes to chew the cancer patient out and gets told a secret he must keep to himself. Of course, his inability causes all kind of furor among the regulars. Kramer begins wearing an eye-patch. His loss of depth perception leads to about ten second of amazing physical comedy. Elaine gets in some pretty funny stuff with a former boyfriend. He is an author and there are several fun scenes as the guy tries to sign books for people.

The Scofflaw was a perfect episode of tv, Funny from A to Z comparing to other episodes when there is Always some less Funny Time.

Im giving it a 10/10 for the second time in Seinfeld because of this.

What a show ! To see George with hair was Amazing.

Season 6, Episode 13, "The Scofflaw" Seinfeld was probably overdue for a weak episode after getting "The Race", "The Switch" and "The Label Maker" in a row; "The Scofflaw" is the weakest episode in season 6, and one of the weakest in the entire series. Which is not to say it doesn't have its moments, of course.

Kramer has some good moments, especially when interacting with Newman, but nothing that happens to him has any really satisfying conclusion, especially the eye-patch which is kinda cool looking but has no real effect on anything else that happens. Elaine's story makes no sense; the one regarding Jerry, George and Gary Fogel is funnier, but Jon Lovitz is incredibly annoying and unlikable. A filler episode, all around.

Just want to give the great character actor. Basil Hoffman a shout for doing amazing work in one small scene in the Hair System salon. He goes from 0 to 100 in seconds when defending his company's(and his own) toupee against Jerry's criticisms.
