The Wink

The Wink tells of the dangers of eating grapefruit. Jerry eats a grapefruit, sends pulp into George's eye and then all of a sudden, so ludicrous as it is, starts winking uncontrollably. As a result of this, he gets one of his colleagues in trouble when his boss thinks he's covering for his colleague when nope...he's just unable to control that winky eye! Meanwhile, Kramer goes on a journey to make some money with birthday card for the big boss that he nabs from George's work at the Yankees- of course, once again George did not approve this being sold but tragically, it gets sold to a child dying from cancer.

Which is surprising since George is more front-and-center than usual and George is the most annoying of the main characters.

Squirting grapefruit in the eye becomes an episode....

I look up these episode for the supporting actors....curious who they are and what they've done since. In this case I looked up Brian McNamara "James."

He made it on at least one more episodes about "the sponge."

I watch these episode over and over and start to look at the set...what cold cereal is in the cupboard. And the cast members other than the principals.

Wink wink nudge nudge say no more. A nudge is as good as a wink to a blind bat

Another entertaining episode from Season 7 even though it may come as weaker than the previous three.

A lot of weird things going on but thankfully is a good weirdness. Elaine starts dating his wake up guy and for some reason I find this idea very entertaining. I mean, it definitely is unrelatable but it's just so original you can't help but go alone with it. The same case goes for George's storyline: Jerry spills some grapefruit on George's eye, making him to wink involuntarily. This sets up most of the events that take place in the episode and, to its merit, it is quite funny in the beginning but as the episode continues George's wink habit disappears out of the blue. So that's kind of lazy from the writers.

The other two story lines are Jerry trying to prove his manhood to Elaine's relative and Kramer trying to get the Yankee's signed card back from an ill kid at the hospital. Both stories are crazy and give us great moments.

Apart from that we get the first appearance of the great George Steinbrenner.

On a side note, I'd like to point out the job of continuity the writers are doing with this season. Similar to Season 4, every episode acknowledges something that happened earlier in the season (on this case Elaine's relationship with dogs).
