WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH GREEN BAY'S AFFILIATE?

This weekend the Giants come to Green Bay to play the Packers. The Green Bay area has shown their support in a very unique way. The local FOX affiliate usually airs the greatest television show ever, Seinfeld, on Saturday evenings at 5:30. But, they are not showing it this Saturday because it is Eli Manning's favorite show. This gives Green Bay quite an advantage, I would hate for the opposing team to be watching television before the game.
But don't worry Eli,there are two episodes on TBS near the same time and all episodes are available on DVD if you really need your fix.

THE IMPRESSION ABOUT NOTHING

The "Real" Kramer Reality Tour

This is the "real" Kramer standing infront of the famous Monk's Diner, where the Seinfeld characters frequented. Not Cosmo Kramer, Kenny Kramer.

Although this is the real Kramer, he seems to be much like the Kramer from the TV show. Not only do they both have crazy hair, both like to cash in on outlandish ideas. OK so maybe Kenny's isn't quite as outlandish as Cosmo's, but it still fits the character.

Kenny performs tours and has even traveled to Australia to perform his Seinfeld reality tour. Recently he involved the actor who played the Soup Nazi into his tour. I do not think the "real" Soup Nazi enjoys the Seinfeld attention though. Of course Kenny has an official website promoting all his "real" Kramer stuff.

Festivus for the Rest of Us!!!

For those of us who find Christmas to be aggrevating, I suggest an alternative. Not hannukkah, not quanza, not even skipping Christmas. I suggest the holiday that was suggested by Frank Costanza. Festivus.
The origin of the holiday is explained as follows:
Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows on him I realized there had to be a better way.
Kramer: What happened to the doll?
Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born...a Festivus for the rest of us!

Festivus replaces a Christmas tree with a six foot alluminum pole (illustrated above). The advantages are obvious, the set up and taking down are much easier.
There is no specified expected meal involved with Festivus.
After the dinner there is the airing of grievances. Everyone at the table has a chance to tell each of the other people how they have let them down or aggrevate them.
Festivus concludes with a wrestling match ending with the pinning of the person sitting at the head of the table.
Festivus is held on December 23rd. Let's all celebrate!

The Show About...Everything

Well, I finished my last final a few hours ago. I thought a proper celebration would be to give some love to my favorite show of all time.

Also, after the incident with Michael Richards (Kramer), I thought the show needed some positive regard.

Seinfeld is great. The characters are perfect, the stories are super creative, and the show that is self-proclaimed "show about nothing" is really the show about everything. Have you ever found yourself saying, "It is just like that Seinfeld..."?

You can never watch too many Seinfelds. If you have any favorite episodes, etc. I would love to hear them.
