Review by Ponxerella

In general, I like almost every episode of the Seinfeld show, but it seems like the last couple of seasons possess odd moments where you feel they are really trying too hard to get a laugh...and it just doesn't work. The first thing that bothered me was an odd choice regarding Mrs. Costanza's voice in a couple of garage scenes. George, Lloyd Braun and Frank Costanza are in the garage trying to sell computers and numerous times we hear Estelle Costanza yelling loudly from outside the scene, responding to conversations occurring between the men inside the garage in a normal tone of voice. Her ability to hear these conversations and the distant sound of her yelling doesn't quite add up. It's repeated multiple times, not only does it not quite make sense, it's not funny either. At first I'd wondered if the actress who played Mrs. Costanza might've been ill and unable to be there physically on the set, and so they were reduced to using this screaming off camera voice, but that wasn't it, because she actually appears in the beginning scene before the garage scenes take place. Throughout the previous 8 seasons we've seen Mrs. Costanza yell at George, yell at her husband, but never have we seen her continue this unexplained yelling from another room, outside from the view of the audience, and never physically materialize.

The whole computer store operating out of the Costanza's garage didn't provide the laughs for me, and humor aside, I didn't find it believable or interesting.
