@markallen2984 Жыл бұрын

That is a very bad oversight, very bad. ""☝️"" Actually, (not to get too serious) but Babu actually an important character because his situation really illustrated the narcissistic indifference that the quartet had towards other people.... Even to people that they were somewhat fond of. They never really considered the consequences of their indifference to people outside of their circle... This characteristic was further demonstrated in the final episode where they laughed, mocked and failed to intervene in the carjacking / robbery.

The start of the Jerry/Newman rivalry might not be truly known, but in divulging Jerry's actions with Gina to her boyfriend, Newman made it clear that there was one.

I can guess it’s the fact that Jerry makes a lot money “just telling jokes” (of course there’s much more to it than that) while Newman has to “work” for a living. Or he’s jealous of Jerry and Kramer’s friendship.

Where’s Norman? Think that was part of the DVD set, Norman Brenner was a background character and I believe he started appearing in season 1. He’s in a lot of episodes, one particular one he actually has lines is the episode Elaine dates Greg…I mean Craig with the ponytail. Norman played CRAIG’s English friend “Eeen”. It’s fun to look for him in episodes once you realize he’s almost always there somewhere.

@fromthehaven94 Жыл бұрын

Norman is basically a version of the Army Swiss Knife alongside the actor who was Jerry's stand-in (the name's Mitch) who played different on screen characters. Much like any guest performer on the Law and Order shows.

Technically, he voiced Steinbrenner in multiple episodes. But I would've liked to see more of Larry David as Frank Costanza's caped lawyer. Imagine a legal battle between him and Jackie Chiles!

Jackie Chiles, the lawyer, was actually a parody of one of the characters on Amos and Andy, a scheming attorney named Kingfish. But who remembers that show?

@markallen2984 Жыл бұрын

That's a novel perspective. Johnny Cochran had become a pretty ubiquitous pop culture figure after the OJ Simpson trial and I think it was widely accepted that Jackie Chiles was based on him at least in part. .... I never heard about the Kingfish connection.

@Mark Allen Me either. Though it doesn't help the confusion that Seinfeld flat-out parodied the "glove" segment of the OJ trial.

"The Kingfish" was not an attorney, it was George Stevens' title as the leader of the Mystic Knights of the Sea. His scheming attorney was Algonquin J. Calhoun. Great Show. The NCAAP did them no favor by mau-mauing CBS into "disappearing" the series.
