That's a genuinely sad story, but you have to wonder how anyone could possibly gently caress up the firing of a gun into their own head so badly that they'd be able to call for an ambulance afterwards.

Mr. Kruger was one of my favorite side characters. I'm sorry his life took such a bad turn. I'll always remember him this way.

I know that the four main characters are all classic, but rewatching several episodes every week I'm struck by how good the secondary characters are - not just recurring ones like Newman, J. Peterman, Jackie Chiles, etc., but nearly every single one-episode character they ever had. I can name like 30 of these guys off the top of my head that were all classic in some way. I can't think of any other show that came even close to this.

There are even classic characters that were on screen for all of ten seconds, like Saddam Hussein or the tiny old man who swam in the east river. He just sunk like a stone, didn't he!?

whoa, just read that article about Von Bargen (another one of my favorite secondary characters, also was really funny in Super Troopers) - poor guy, what the hell happened to his legs??

There's some brilliant characters that you never even see: Bob Sacamano, Cousin Jeffrey, Lomez, Pachyderm, and Snoopy & Prickly Pete the horses. Horrible news about Mr Kruger

Confirmed that Kruger had diabetes. As a Cincinnati native I wish I would have know to keep my eyes open for him, I would have hung out with him and challenged him to chair spinning races.

It's actually surprisingly difficult to kill yourself with a pistol, from what I remember from the thread when that comedian whose name escapes me tried to kill himself. It's not like in the movies where it's an instant kill.

I'm watching The Barber and I just noticed something, probably now that I've got really good speakers. In the scene where Mr Pensky comes in, when George is drumming on the desk with pencils? At 14.14 you can hear a girl offscreen yell "Oh no!" when the Secretary pages George to tell him Pensky is on his way.

IIRC there's also a woman yelling "Oh my GOD!" when kramer reveals the golf ball in the marine biologist. Being in the live audience for Seinfeld must have been amazing.

I like that Crackle plays the episodes in the original aspect ratio. After a while the fake widescreen gets kinda claustrophobic.

In Kruger's honor, I am going to fall asleep at my desk and get a wicked set of sleep creases on my face. Then I'll follow that up with a nice big piece of cake at the local diner.

George could have just returned that picture with the cartoon drawing of Kruger still in it and he probably never would have even noticed anyway.

I love that bit because even when George actually wins for once and he's about to get away with it his pride is too much to stop him from blabbing.
