By the way.....I strongly disliked that episode. To me, that episode illustrates the drop off in later seasons. The show was still fantastic but the characters kind of became caricatures of themselves. George, instead of the neurotic Woody Allen type morphed into a guy with an incredibly short fuse who was angry a lot of the time.
"High Five!" ....this episodes main redeeming quality for me.

I agree actually. Its a strange episode. I do love the test drive salesmen that rides with Kramer. The actor nails it.

I like that episode. I always tend to like the episodes where they're away from the coffee shop and Jerry's apartment. The George Twix storyline nonsensible though. I mean, he buys all those candybars for the candy lineup, but didn't eat one?

Both George and Elaine become more angry and cynical in the final few seasons. Even before Larry David leaves following season 7. But especially after he leaves. I actually never minded it. If you're Elaine, you've gotta be thinking "I'm still hanging out with these three losers?" And as George says in The Andria Doria "I've been suffering for the past 20 years up to, and including, yesterday!"
Elaine's character definitely changes the most throughout the series. She starts off pretty good-natured and well-intentioned. Remember when George slips his boss a "mickey" and told Jerry that he got Elaine to go along with it?
George: I told her what a sexist he is. How he cheats on his wife. Jerry: But she knew that. George: But she didn't know he doesn't recycle.
Season 8 Elaine wouldn't give a FUCK about recycling. Or about anything else for that matter.
Kramer changes too and it's a lot to do with a character choice by Michael Richards and Larry David. Early on, Kramer was played as dumb ("I'm a pod.") But as things progress, he Kramer is played as if he knows it all, when he doesn't. But he plays it confidently. (i.e. What the "Whip" does in the Senate, Joe Piscopo designing Central Park, etc.)
Jerry starts off a a nice guy in season 1, but that doesn't last.
George basically goes from down-on-his-luck loser to angry, pissed-off loser.

I remember a quote from Michael Richards, he said "I started off playing Kramer as if he was two steps behind everyone, then I started playing him like he was 2 steps ahead of everyone, and that's when it clicked". I'm paraphrasing, but it was something like that.
Sue Ellen Mischke, the heiress to the O'Henry candy bar fortune, got engaged. It turns out, her fiancée once dated Elaine.
What is his name? bonus: what is the name he went by when he dated Elaine? super bonus: what's his last name? MEGA bonus: what are his parents' first names?

I think his name is Pintar, and he went by Peter when he dated Elaine. I have no idea what the last name was or what his parents' names are.

Last name is Ronowat and the parents names are Usha and Zubin. I remember that because she said "well, Usha...." and the father said "I'm zubin". LOL
Hugh, I don't the answer to your other one. Curious though
"bend a spoon mentally". it was the episode that dealt with impotence and whether or not jerry's girlfriends had orgasms (come on elaine, gimme another shot!) and the fruit stand.

on the youtube clip it goes for at least a few seconds longer than it does in syndication. zubin follows elaine out the door and he says "and I'm not even a big fan of Manhattan". never saw that ending of the scene before.

A lot of great little bits like that are cut for syndication. Especially in seasons 8 and 9. Prior to that, they could cut Jerry's opening standup. Though even in seasons 8 and 9, they cut a lot of the cold opens (I think I posted a compilation of them in this thread before). It's a shame because there's a lot of good stuff in there. But now with the show on streaming, more people are seeing them.
I look forward to it coming on Netflix. Here's a question for anyone that's streamed it on Hulu, are they the widescreen versions that are now shown in syndication? Widescreen but without stuff cut out for time I mean.
