what i liked- the revelation kramer's first name is Cosmo, George walking into the bathroom, thinking his girlfriend was the one puking, George's plan for "the switch", Elaine getting caught trying to take back the racket, amongst other things.
good episode. I don't watch this show a lot, but this was definitely one of the better ones I've seen thus far. I laughed quite a bit and I liked everything else. A+ is definitely my final grade for this episode.moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Elaine lets a potential employer borrow Mr. Pitt's tennis racket, but the injury suffered may ruin her chances, especially when she must get his racket back. Jerry's girlfriend never laughs, but he meets her roommate who does, so Jerry decides he would like to make "the switch." George's model girlfriend may be bulimic. He needs proof, so he meets Kramer's mother, who's a bathroom matron. While there he finds out Kramer's first name, Cosmo. Kramer decides it is time to be himself and begins to use his first name. George has the perfect plan for "the switch," a menage a trois.moreless

ADD QUOTES-
Jerry: I'm not an orgy guy.
-
George: Do you realize in the entire history of western civilization no one has successfully accomplished the roommate switch. In the middle ages you could get locked up for even suggesting it. Jerry: They didn't have roommates in the middle ages. George: How do you know? Jerry: Well, for one thing, they didn't have apartments. George: Well, I'm sure at some point between the years 800 and 1200 somewhere there were two women living together.
-
Kramer: All my life I've been running away from that name. That's why I wouldn't tell anybody. But I've been thinking about it. All this time I'm trying not to be me. I'm afraid to face who I was. But I'm Cosmo, Jerry, I'm Cosmo Kramer, and that's who I'm going to be. From now on, I'm Cosmo!

Jerry: (about his new girlfriend, a non-laugher) The jokes kept bouncing off her like Superman.
