The Junk Mail

We can't ever accuse this show of having a foundation in reality. Kramer is beside himself because the Pottery Barn keeps sending him catalogues. Most people would dispose of them, but he decides to literally make a federal case out of it. He goes to the Post Office and tells them he wants out, leading to a meeting with Wilfred Brimley. At the same time Elaine is in love with a guy who does ridiculous commercials (the Wiz). She gets rid of Puddy...again. George is being ignored by his parents who want to get rid of him, but he can't handle being rejected, even though this is the answer to his prayers. And Jerry gets a free van from an old friend (who is nuts). I can't even say what happens in the van. Great episode.

None of the arcs in this episode are funny, so the punchlines all fall flat. The writing (jokes, characters) is weak.

A much better episode in a horrible season 9.

March 9th 2023.

What was this episode about?: George wants his parents to be all over him because they have had enough with Georges Antics.

Elaine yet again is in a shallow storyline. She meets the Wiz and debates between him and David Puddy.

Kramer battles the mail industry.

Jerry gets a van from Frankie M and is scared to let him know the truth.

Story and production: A much more energitic storylines thanks only to George C, Jerome Seinfeld and Cosmo Kramer.

Production allows viewers to stay engaged.

Highlight: Wiz walk. Frankie running and crying like a sissy.

Laugh Meter: 3. Still a good episode.

Villain: N/A.

What can be learned?: You can't mess with the Mail.

Verdict: A solid episode though not much laughs.

I like how George's parents are having a bang in the back of the van
