The Label Maker

Amazing episode. One of the few I started recording on vhs so seen it a lot and for that reason it has always stood out for me. One thing I've wondered with this show, how is the audience in on the joke about menaje a trois and such when it was probably recorded a few nights previous and not been aired yet? Anyhoo, this is one of the best with all the favourite characters giving us their best.

After Jerry deals with a roommate storyline. George is up and he must do the same but this time he dates a lady who has a male roomate. Uh Oh!!

What was this episode about?: Jerry deals with his Super Bowl tickets. All because of the Drake...

George deals with a lady who has a meal roomate.

Kramer battles postal worker Newman in a game of Risk...

Elaine deals with a regifter Tim Whatly.

The story and the production overview: A solid episode . Every story is fun and engaging. Though, George's story was the best of the best.

Highlight: The Drake cancelling a wedding to watch a scripted game. Georges Story with him reacting to the male roommate was funny.

Villain: The Drake. He caused the turmoil between Jerry and Elaine.

Laugh meter: 10

girlfriend attractiveness level: 6

What can be learned?: It's good to hate the Drake

Verdict: use a permanent marker instead.

Yet another episode of wonderful timing. It involves two gifts. A pair of Super Bowl tickets and a label maker. In the middle of it all is that dentist played by Brian Cranston. Those tickets get passed around from character to character while Elaine obsesses over the regifting of a label maker. In the middle of this is some hilarity involving Kramer and Newman. So much of this show involves linguistic chicanery and slight of hand emotions all over the place. There are a series of scenes with a street cop who has been chasing his "white whale," someone who has received a record number of parking tickets. Great stuff.

Season 6, Episode 12, "The Label Maker"

Three strikes in a row!

The boys managed to follow "The Race" and "The Switch", two of Seinfeld's most iconic episodes, with one that, while it's not as tight, it deals with familiar and realistic social issues like only Seinfeld can, much like they did throughout seasons 4 and 5.

The fantastic Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), who made his first appearance as dentist Tim Whatley in the episode "The Mom and Pop Store", makes a glorious return, and finally lays the framework to how his character would eventually end up. George is hilarious, Jerry and Elaine deliver, and Kramer delivers some of his most hilarious scenes with Newman - scenes that have very little impact on the story, but are unforgettable nevertheless.
