Hell yes.

poo poo, new page: How awesome is J. Peterman? Every single one of his lines makes me laugh -- and I love that fact that John O'Hurley still knows most of them. I think one of my all-time favourites from him is when he's talking to Elaine about the opium and the funniest part to me (besides thinking Kramer's her dealer) is when he discusses being an addict too:

"I know what you're going through. I too once fell under the spell of opium. It was 1979. I was travelling the Yangtzee in search of a Mongolian horsehair vest. I had got to the market after sundown, all of the clothing traders had gone, but a different sort of trader still lurked about. "Just a taste," he said. That was all it took."


I think it's the "Juuuuust a taste" that kills me.

There's a few minor continuity errors but generally I consider anything related to Kramer is exempt because, well, it's Kramer.

TBS airs two episodes back to back from 7pm to 8pm . My local fox affiliate shows it at 7:30pm and 11pm. So I get to choose between two episodes to watch at 7:30pm! Life is good.

I was just listening to the radio, and they were playing Larry King's worst interview moments, and for one he had Jerry Seinfeld on. He asked Jerry if the show got canceled, or if he ended it on his own. Jerry got pissed and asked him if he even knew who he was. It was funny. Larry King is pretty dumb.

EDIT: Transcript!

KING: It lasted how long?

SEINFELD: Nine years -- 180 episodes.

KING: You gave it up, right?

SEINFELD: I did.

KING: They didn't cancel you, you canceled them?

SEINFELD: You're not aware of this?

KING: No, I'm -- I'm asking you (INAUDIBLE).

SEINFELD: You think I got canceled?

KING: Have I hurt you...

SEINFELD: Are you under the impression that I got canceled? KING: Have I hurt you, Jerry?

SEINFELD: I thought that was pretty well documented. This is a...

KING: Don't most shows (INAUDIBLE)...

SEINFELD: Is this still CNN?

KING: Don't most shows go down a little?

SEINFELD: Most people do also.

KING: You were...

SEINFELD: But...

(LAUGHTER).

SEINFELD: Yes, no, I went off the air, I was the number one show in television, Larry.

KING: You were off...

SEINFELD: Do you know who I am?

(LAUGHTER)

KING: A Jewish guy, Brooklyn.

SEINFELD: Yes.

KING: OK.

SEINFELD: Seventy five million viewers...

KING: OK.

SEINFELD: ...the last episode.

KING: Boy, you...

SEINFELD: Was I canned?

KING: Don't take it so bad.

SEINFELD: Well, there's a big difference between being canceled and being number one.

KING: OK, I'm sorry.

I don't think so... if anyone's got a point, it's Jerry.

#1 show pretty much throughout the 90's, you're being interviewed by Larry loving King about how your show ended, and if anyone should know what's going on, it's King. Absolutely ridiculous that he more or less ASKED whether or not the show ended by their choice or it was cancelled.

Really?

Plus, Jerry is, by trade, a comedian. He is taking the piss out of Larry because that's what he does for a living.
