The Unfiltered Ramblings of a DVR Addict

“I’m Larry David, and I happen to enjoy wearing women’s panties.”

With only two episode left after last night we are really getting down to the wire on the Seinfeld reunion.  The majority of this episode revolved around who would play George’s wife in the reunion.  Of course Larry is pulling for Cheryl since he has hopes that it will bring them back together, but another actress, Virgina Sloane played by Elizabeth Shue is auditioning as well.  Aside from that problem, Larry was buying new pants at the Banana Republic when the fire alarm went off.  Outside Larry runs into a police officer named Officer Krupke, just like in West Side Story.  The officer is unfamiliar with the play and Larry sings a bit to him.  Instead of waiting for the building to be cleared he leaves his old pants inside and leaves in the new one with the security tag still on them with intentions of returning later.  Meanwhile Susie finds a pair of panties in Jeff’s glove compartment.  Instead of fessing up to cheating on her, he tells Susie that they are Larry’s.  Larry has some trouble with Jeff’s explanation, but agrees to go along with the ruse to help Jeff. Over at Jeff’s house Larry takes a walk and insults some kids running a lemonade stand.  Their mother tracks Larry down and threatens to call the cops on him.

That next day  at the audition Cheryl and Virgina realize they are both reading for the same part.  They are old friends and Virgina invites Cheryl to have lunch with her and her husband, Bo Duke… I mean Dennis played by John Schneider.  Inside the audition Cheryl does very well, but ultimately the part is offered to Virgina.

When Larry goes to return the pants he bought and get his old pair back the store can’t find his old pair so Larry just keeps the new pair with the security tag on them.  Outside the store Larry bumps into Cheryl and tells her that she didn’t get the part.  She tells him at lunch that Dennis asked her to be in a ménage a trios with he and Virgina.  Larry is appalled and confronts Dennis, who tells Larry that Cheryl was very open to the idea.  Over at Jeff and Susie’s house Jeff is getting nervous about Susie finding out about the panties.  When Larry shows up Jeff convinces him to sell the story better than tells Larry that Virgina can’t play the role because she hurt her neck.  Of course the two can only think of two ways to hurt your neck, a car accident and cunnilingus.  They jump to the last conclusion involving Virgina and Cheryl after they see that Virgina’s car hasn’t been wrecked.

Larry tells Cheryl she has the part over lunch, but she walks out on him after he tells her his theory.  After Cheryl storms out Larry gets a call from Jeff who needs Larry’s help convincing Susie about the panties.  Larry has an idea.  Larry heads over there and on the way sings “Krup You” to the lady and the kids running the lemonade stand.  They call Officer Krupke and when he shows up he notices the security tag on Larry’s pants.  Larry takes off the pants to give them to him revealing women’s underwear.

Thought and Observations:

• Curb has been relying on lots of huge coincidences this season.  There are over 9,000 LAPD officers out there.  What are the odds that Officer Krupke would be the one that showed up at Jeff’s house?
• I know I saw Ben Affleck leaving the Banana Republic when the fire alarm went off.  DId anyone else notice this?  I watched it twice and it’s defiantly him.
• “‘Hey, Officer Krupke, Krup you!’ Has anyone ever said that to you?” “No. Some guy told me to go fuck my face once. He went to jail.”
• There have been quite a few references to Jeff’s extramarital liaisons this season.  Think he’s heading for big trouble by season end?
• I have a feeling that the Seinfeld Reunion won’t ever see the light of day.  Not sure why, I just do.
