seinfeld: 25 years of laughter

  I cannot believe it has been 25 years since Seinfeld has aired. 

 It's gone off air, but the repeats will go on and on and on for a long time. 
   Remembering all the great episodes that I loved when I was growing up, and all the catchphrases we loved like: "Yada Yada Yada" "Not that there's anything wrong with that" "Im an eggplant" "Spongoly" so many wonderful episodes like where they are waiting for a table at a chinese restaurant. Having Costanza's finance die from licking toxic envelopes.

  I even blogged about some episodes already but some others I like to shortly talk about. 

 Mostly through one entire season Costanza is engaged to a woman named Susan and he tries to break off the relationship as best as he can. Eventually by the end, they buy cheap envelopes, she licks them and dies. Costanza couldn't be more happier???? 

  Some other episodes, like one where Krammer is upset that he might be the last Krammer and he has to not jockeys anymore and start wearing boxers. So he decides to go commando
 "I'm out there Jerry and I'm loving every minute of it!" 

They also made up a contest where they wouldn't 'you know what' after George was caught by his mother looking at one of her magazines. LOL. It just shows us the more lovable side of the show. This episode actually won Emmy for it. As well as Jerry's girlfriend leaving him before she would be 'the one' since she was a Virgin. Krammer lost and Elaine lost, and it went down to Jerry and George. What happens, well I'll tell you soon

   There are so many characters as well that become a part of the show like Banya. Another comic that Jerry hates, and he bugs Jerry a lot. Gives him a suit as well, and he loves to order soup. 

  Jackie Chiles is another wonderful character that became part of the show by the middle of the season. He was biased on OJ Simpson's lawyer and they sutured one episode where he says "Like a glove!" It's mostly biased around him. Always having to deal with Krammer's antics and by the end of the series, has to help all of them out through a Jam

Puddy, who is an awesome. Squints, high fives and is Elaine's boyfriend (somewhat) by the end of the season. Started showing up around the sixth season, is a huge Devil's fan. Was a grease monkey to selling cars, and at the end of the series he and Elaine break up (tell u why in a minute) 

Sue Ellen Mishke (The bra-less wonder) tall, never wears a bra, and is Elaine's mortal enemy. She even tried being her friend but it didn't work out. She never wears a bra, Elaine gave her one as a gift and let's just say she never wore a shirt with it.

Micky Kramer's friend and enemy. They fight constantly and they both work on TV. Kramer got him lifts once, but let's just say it didn't work out. They tried finding love by setting up one another on a date with two girls. They got the wrong one. LOL


   A lot of characters are come and go but one would remain a staple. Karmmer's friend, Jerry's enemy and is in love with Elaine. NEWMAN. He was voiced by creator Larry David when he was first mentioned, but people wanted to see the Newman. Who was he, why wasn't he on many episode, eventually it happened. When Jerry's neighbor tries to commit suicide Jerry falls in love with his girlfriend. Newman is shown for the first time. He was played by Wayne Knight, overweight at the time, but now lost complete amount of weight because of the role. He works for the Post office and is mostly in a battle with Jerry and Krammer is somewhat in the middle.

 There are other characters like off and on again romances from the main four characters and some workout, some don't. They even tried to get a series off the ground, didn't work out either.  

  Jerry and George's parents are featured (ironically both the fathers were played by two men) The first season had a different actor portraying the father of Jerry and by the second season the late Barney Martin took over. Jerry Stiller took over for Geroge's father in the syndicated version of the fourth season, but when it started the first a different actor portraying his father (don't know his mane)

  When Elaine had her first job in pendent publishing, there were two actors portraying the roll of her boss. The second actor took over after the other season. Many actors are replaced by others if it didn't work out or other reasons. I don't know why. But here's what I wanna talk about, the last episode:

     They are stuck in nowheresville after an airplane malfunction, (BTW George tells Jerry he cheated on the contest making Jerry the official winner) They don't help somebody that's in trouble and gets arrested for it. Well this is where some people are torn between this last episode. Liking it and hating it. I officially thought it was good.

   They had to get Jackie Chiles as their lawyer. And they had to get character witness, mostly from previous episodes to tell them how they changed and influenced their lives. Mostly negative effects they had on them. A lot of the court roomsettings and witnesses are from past seasons and it's pretty interesting to see them all and (you can more of them on the dvd version)
  A lot of character witnesses like Jerry's girlfriend who thought her breasts were real and made Elaine fake-trip and feel them. Let's just say Chiles hooks up with her at the end "They're real and they're spectacular"

  Mostly a lot of the character witness target Eliane and Costanza the most. The doctor that was performing on his fiance and died that day told him that it was "restrained jubilation" making the parents of Susan pissed, as they were before. A lot of the character witness are pleading for a guilty verdict like Babu. Who was deported, The Bubble boy who Jerry was suppose to visit for his birthday but never showed and Costanza did instead and let's just say it didn't work out MOOPS"

The Soup Nazi was another character witness who had to close his restaurant when Elaine stole his recipes after he wouldn't serve her soup

Eventually at the end the verdict was "GUILTY" and they were sent to five years in Jail to contemplate for their actions. BTW Art Vandalay was the judge which Costanza loved to use the name and say he's an architect as well.

   I say though those years, after the show ended. Julia Louse Dreyfus has done most with her career, working VEEP now while the other three, well they're doing ok. I saw Jerry Seinfeld perform at the Borgata and he still as funny as ever. He still does those "have you ever notice...'  jokes that he always did on Seinfeld that makes me laugh. Everyone in the audience did too. Jason Alexander is doing well on the stage, and losing weight. He's doing very well for himself, being the new Jenny Craig spokes models and all.

  Michael Richards hasn't  done very well for himself, but he's holding up ok. Wayne Knight has lost weight and is doing voice acting so is Patrick Warburton "aka Puddy" mostly on Family Guy and for cartoon shows and movies. He is funny as hell. Other actors from the show are doing well for themselves, sadly some passed away like from the last episode comedian John (last name i forgot) passed away recently he portrayed the man who needed help One of Elaine's bosses, Mr. Pit, passed away too. Jerry's Uncle Leo died too. Will never forget some of them...

  but then again Seinfeld is something we shouldn't forget, it'll be bedded in our memories for a long time, and it will still be funny even if it's with a puffy shirt, a close talker, high talker or anything else, Seinfeld is something that will be with us forever and even the last episode, good or bad, it's still gonna be one hell of a great finale (not as great as MASH but still good)  till then. Never forget the 25 years of Laughter Seinfeld has given us, and that it will forever be considered one hell of a great show. Ciao Bloggers!
