This episode goes on and on, and yes, I agree, is one of the best of the best. The writers just let it go and had fun with it. Case in point, you have to admit, the middle finger gag with George and the waitress is priceless. And tell me if you don't know someone (maybe you!) who had a similar, similar experience?
It's all about Jerry persuading George to get Yankee baseball player Danny Tartabull on another venue, such as PBS. Why not? A whole new audience, a whole new ballgame. Surrounding this little story is a bunch of hilarious situations, in fact, enough material for two episodes. In the meanwhile, Jerry's elderly grandma has been sending him a ton of birthday cards with checks --all that he hasn't cashed. Kramer says do it, although her checks are no longer good since she moved her account to another bank years ago. Of course.
This all leads to her phoning PBS while Jerry is doing a live show, and telemarketer Kramer gets her to write ANOTHER check? In comes Uncle Leo, shouting she's on a fixed income! See to believe the insanity, and always so well acted. You do not want to miss this one, replete with some off the wall dialogue, tossed in just for kicks.
That all said, you have to hand it to Uncle Leo, the uncle we all can relate to in one way or another!
From 1994.
