There is not a day that goes by that I don’t connect some
comment or situation I find myself in to a Seinfeld episode. I probably annoy most of my friends when I yell
out “she has man hands” when I open a drink or voice “ovaltine” while using my
debit card. Seinfeld certainly marks a definitive event in my adolescence.
They say timing is everything. For Seinfeld, that couldn’t
be more of a truism. While watching reruns on TBS, it is clear that many
episodes could not exist in the 21st century. I have compiled a few of my favorite episodes
that ALMOST could have never been…
1. Who calls a “real” person to find out when movies are
playing? In this episode, Kramer takes a call from George to find a movie time
and theater. I guess Fandango or Google weren't around...
2. I have been using OpenTable recently to make online
reservations. That way, I don’t get to a restaurant like Elaine, George, and
Jerry and have to wait for hours... “Seinfeld, party of 4.”
3. Really, an answering machine? I think we all have
left a message on someone’s phone that we regret. Of course, because we all
have cell phones there is no tape to destroy. That is of course, unless you are
Jerry and George.
