Seinfeld – Friends – tape 2856

Back to Sky One for Seinfeld – The Money. Jerry’s parents have sold the Cadillac he bought them, and want to give him the money because they’re worried about the cheque he bounced at the local bodega.

George thinks Elaine is ‘sticking it to him’ by treating him to a cup of nice coffee.

Sarah Silverman guests as Kramer’s girlfriend who is too fidgety in bed.

Jerry’s parents are worried that Jerry can’t support himself, so Morty goes to Elaine to ask for a job, as she’s currently president of J Peterman.

Out of the blue, Peterman returns from his globetrotting.

The next episode is The Comeback. George needs to have a comeback for someone at the Yankees who insulted him at a meeting.

Right Wing nutjob Ben Stein makes an appearance as a lawyer, as Kramer wants someone to act as his living executor in case he goes into a coma.

Jerry discovers that Milos, who runs the local Tennis store, is actually useless at Tennis, so Milos begs him not to tell anybody.

Elaine has been renting the recommendations of a ‘Vincent’ at the local video rental store, and he’s started phoning her up to ask if she’s enjoyed the movies. She wants to meet him, but when she does, he’s a 15 year old boy – played by Danny Strong off of Buffy.

After this, recording continues with an episode of Friends – The One Where Nana Dies Twice. We’ve looked at this one before, and this tape is pretty awful, with a huge amount of tape noise, that it’s almost unwatcheable.

Nice to see they obey the sitcom rules – any graveside scene must include at least one participant falling into an open grave. Here it’s Ross.

This really is a good episode – even the subplot where a coworker assumes Chandler is gay isn’t as awkward as it could have been. And the ending, with the gang looking at pictures of Nana, and finding a picture of her and her friends at a coffee shop was very sweet.
