  10 Perfect

  "Little Jerry, Kramer, Stop the Fight, Tamales" The best episode ever!!! Exactly why I watch this show!!! hide show

  
  
  I love this episode!!!
  
  "Little Jerry," said Kramer! "Kramer," said Jerry. "Stop the fight," said Elaine; and George just called the tamales.
  
  
  I love this episode. Classic, funny and it follows the show. Come on! This show is really classic!!! In this episode, the relationship between George and the girl at prision. "I think a normal relationship is not ok for me," said George. He is absolutely crazy, in this and all of the episodes.
  
  I love this episode, I repeat.
  
  Jerry, you just have to continue this show, I want more seasons with more of this great episodes.

  9.5 Superb

  Little Jerry Seinfeld hide show

  I saw this episode the other day and I had to write a review of this episode. Kramer buys a mistaken chicken for a rooster. It wakes up Jerry. Jerry on the other hand bounced his check at the bodega. Elaine is dating a guy who's going bald and gets George for advice. George on the other hand is dating a convict. Back to Jerry and Kramer, the check will be down if Marcellino will take Little Jerry in numerous rounds of cockfighting. The funniest part of the episode occurs when Kramer tries to get Little Jerry out of the match and gets attacked by Marcellino's chicken. Absolutely funny. LOL!

  2.5 Terrible

  In order for Jerry to get his bad check taken down from the wall of the bodega, he gets Kramer's non-egg laying rooster to cockfight on behalf of the bodega owner. George dates a convict. Elaine's boyfriend becomes desperate when he learns he's becoming hide show

  What an utterly stupid episode. The show glorifies cockfighting (which is illegal in 47 states) and fails to note that cockfighting is to the death and that the roosters have razor sharp wires attached to their feet to inflict as much damage as possible. This episode makes it seem like cockfighting is nothing but some harmless pecking. The idea that Kramer was too stupid to know the difference between a hen and a rooster is not believable. Neither is the idea that Jerry would use clown checks (even if he received those by mistake) or that he would EVER bounce a check. This is a character who buys Cadillacs as gifts. He would have used a credit card anyway. Clearly, the writers were out of ideas. The subplot of George dating a prisoner was pretty good. The subplot of Elaine boyfriend proposing because he's going bald was not in the least creative, interesting, or funny. 2.5 strictly for George dating the cute convict.

Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• At the beginning of the episode, the camera is pulled back just enough to reveal the actual name of the restaurant (Tom's Restaurant) where the gang always meet. Normally, it is just seen as Restaurant. [edit]
• On the check Jerry bounces at the bodega, the amount is incorrectly spelled as "fourty dollars". [edit]
• In the 2nd. scene,when Kramer leaves,he's still with the napkin on his neck. [edit]

• Viewer Ben Nuckols offers this wild theory about this episode: Here's a wild theory. I think there might have been a TV industry "inside joke" in "The Little Jerry," which was on in syndication this week. I knew I recognized the name of John Michael Higgins, who plays Kurt, from somewhere, and I finally figured it out. He played David Letterman in the HBO movie "The Late Shift." I checked the Internet Movie Database to be sure. Of course, he looks completely different with his head shaved. Here's the connection: when "The Late Shift" came out, the real David Letterman complained that the actor playing him had red hair. Higgins was scheduled to be a guest on Letterman's show, but he was bumped, some say due to Letterman's distaste for his portrayal in the picture. Now, do you suppose it's a coincidence that Higgins was cast as a character whose hair was a central issue? Elaine glamorizes the hair color by describing it as "chestnut with auburn highlights." Do you think Seinfeld was taking a lighthearted stab at his buddy Letterman? Offer any comments to Ben at this email address (for as long as it remains valid): bgn3f@virginia.edu. [edit]

• (At the cockfight)
  Jerry: Celia didn't want to come?
  George: Nah, she's not really into sports. [edit]
• Jerry: (about getting married) Your life's gonna totally change.
  Elaine: Jerry, it's one in the morning; I'm at a cockfight; what am I clinging to? [edit]
• Jerry: Kramer, cockfighting is illegal.
  Kramer: Only in the United States.
  Jerry: It's inhumane.
  Kramer: Jerry, it's not what you think.
  Jerry: It's two roosters pecking at each other!
  Kramer: What? I thought they had gloves and helmets. You know, like American Gladiators. [edit]

• Marcelino: "85 cent" when Jerry is buying Juicy-Fruit
  This is a reference to the 1993 film "Falling Down" starring Michael Douglas. In the film Douglas is in a food shop in California buying a soda, the owner charges him 85 cent for a soda and he becomes furios about the price and destroys the store. [edit]
• Elaine: It's chestnut with auburn highlights.
  This is the identical description that Rebecca uses when she describes her hair color to Woody's lovesick cousin, played by Harry Connick, Jr in the 1992 Cheers episode "A Diminished Rebecca with a Suspended Cliff." [edit]
