  9.5 Superb

  Probably one of the funniest episodes... hide show

  I have to say that this is one of the episodes that makes me laugh the most.
  Jerry is so silly when he doesn´t want the girl he´s dating know he watches Melrose Place, he´s like an obssessed fan.
  George, he´s such a loser. He rejectes a girl because she´s bald! And when he finally loses his tupee, the girl doesn´t want to see him anymore. Talk about karma...
  Elaine, wow she was desperate. Trying to make a handsome gay man "switch teams" didn´t work out and she goes back to be lonely again.
  The show belongs to Kramer. The scenes at the lineup were extremely funny!!! I was on the floor because of the laughter. He´s so dumb! And at the end, he gets caught...

Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• Jerry's girlfriend being named Officer Tierny is a nod at Lawrence Tierny who played Elaine's Dad in Season 2's "The Jacket". [edit]
• In the first scene in Jerry's kitchen, George takes a unopened box of Chinese food from the fridge as he asks Elaine "Aren't you a little bit worried that you might have missed the boat?" When the camera angle switches to show Elaine's reaction, the box in George's hand is suddenly open. [edit]
• Also as you can recall, Jerry talks about the only other person being able to lie about having cancer is George, and George also says that he's living about 20 when Gary says he's been living a lie. [edit]

• The homeless man that Kramer gave the Chinese food to is played by Jon Gries, who went on to play Uncle Rico in the hugely popular "Napoleon Dynamite." [edit]

• George: I got rejected by a bald woman. [edit]
• Elaine: Being a woman, I only really have access to the equipment, what, 30-45 minutes a week, and that's on a good week. How can I be expected to have the same expertise as people who own this equipment and have access to it 24 hours a day their entire lives? [edit]
• Elaine: I have hit the jackpot. The perfect man -- nothing but sex and shopping. [edit]

• George: Let me tell you something. No one walks into a beauty parlor and says 'Give me the Larry Fine.'
  
  Larry Fine was a comedian/actor who was a member of the Three Stooges comedy act. Fine was bald, with curly, bushy hair on the sides of his head. [edit]
