Larry David :)

I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm before Seinfeld. In addition to this episode being a decent episode with two nice stories, appearance of Larry David even in a very short scene made me smile.

One of the best of season 2.

Not much to say here really. I think this was a turning point in Seinfeld.

When George is purple in the back of an ambulance...strange but hilarious.

Seinfeld is the perfect sitcom for this very reason. It makes nothing seem so funny.

Kramer is great in this episode, as he persuades George to go to a herbal healer.

The healer reacts perfectly to the other characters. Like Curb Your Enthusiasm the comedy is superbly crafted.

Another classics, much like all the episodes.

Situational comedy at it's best.

Crosses Into the Bizarre

As is often the case in this show, there are vignettes that function on their own. While in the usual restaurant, George thinks he is having a heart attack. After five minutes of convincing his friends he is serious, he's in the hospital. While there, he is there it is discovered he needs his tonsils out. This is expensive and Kramer talks him into seeing his friend (recently released from prison) who is an herbalist. It gets truly wacky from that point on. Try not to fall apart in the scene with the pillow.

Helo there.

This review was made on June 10th of year 2023rd in century 21st.

What was this episode of Seinfeld about?: George has health problems and see's a holestic wizard.

Jerry tries to figure out a joke after watching Larry David on TV.

Elaine likes a doctor

Kramer... Does Kramer.

The story and the production overview: A very nice episode. The holestic wizard did a fantastic job.

Highlight: The holestic wizard scene. He should have returned for at least one more run. Also parademics fighting. I also like how Jerry and Elaine atmre rude to George by asking for his things.

Villian: The health industry

Overall: a very great episode.

What can be learned?: do your research before you see a holestic wizard or you may be turned into an egg plant

Verdict: Dem catch heart attack!

Trivia
Pat Hazell, who plays the man in the other bed, was a consultant to the show in the first season and regularly did the audience warm-up. He appears once again later in the series, in episode 4.23, The Pilot (1993), playing the role of Pat Hazell.

Goofs
Towards the end of the episode when 'purple' George is laying in the ambulance, he briefly lifts his head and there is a purple mark under his head on the pillow where the makeup rubbed off.
