The Switch

That might be a hint. Some of the jokes he used were forced and not natural at all.

When I first started watching Seinfeld. I didn't even care for Kramer's first name. Though, the apartment reveal was hilarious.

Goof: In an early episode in the series, it seemed like Kramer and his mom were close. Fast-forward to this, they don't see eye to eye.

Overall, a fun little episode.

Highlight: George and Jerry planning montage. George walking in and revealing his diabolical plan. Kramer's name reveal.

Laugh meter: 10

Girlfriend attractiveness level: Georges was a good 7. Jerry's main was a 9. Roommate was a fair 6.8.

What can be learned?: Be happy with what you got... because thing may get a little out of hand

Verdict: Cosmo.

Another incredibly overrated Seinfeld episode. This one suffers from the same problem that "The Marine Biologist" had. Yes it has ONE amazingly, astonishing, impossibly perfect storyline and that's it! I'm sorry but in an episode with four story lines, one being awesome and the other three sucking, it's amazing to me that it has a 9.1 rating on this network. Unbelievable.

Elaine's story is boring, Kramer's is so incredibly lame that the only thing I remember is his name being revealed and George's is kind of funny but it isn't great.

Yes, the switch storyline has one of the best dialogue in the entire series but Seinfeld is great and iconic because of the way they can interact all story lines in a perfect way and not for writing great dialogue and disconnected scenes.

This is another fantastic Seinfeld episode. Seinfeld created some of the most entertaining American television of the 1990s. A show about nothing focusing on the lives of 4 people who we could all relate to. This episode in fact nearly all the Seinfeld episodes of the first 6 seasons, created some of the funniest inventive comedic television. Certainly one of the best things to come out of American Television in the 1990s. The humor of Seinfeld will keep people laughing for generations to come. Also as a side note we see a guest appearance of Charlotte Lewis. Who 9 years earlier memorably partnered eddie murphy in that forgotten 80s cult classic - The Golden Child.

The Switch has to be one of the best episodes of the series.

The concept is brilliant, Jerry and George try and pull off the great switch from moving from one roommate to the other. It is every comedian's nightmare to be stuck with a non laughter who simply says 'That's funny' to a joke. The montage showing the duo go over various situations to pull off the switch is enjoyable to watch. The solution they come up with hilarious and the way it is received by the women.

George and Kramer also have a comedic encounter with Kramer's mother revealing the iconic character's first name which became later used in the show. Elaine tries to amusingly steal her own racket that she lent. Jerry and George definitely dominate it and take the show to even bigger heights as they explore the concept of 'The Switch'.

The entire use of words in this episode is sensational. There are several discussions between Jerry and George that are the highest form of comedy. The "Switch" involves Jerry going with a humorless girl but later being attracted to her roommate. What to do? Offer to be part of a threesome, of course. George, meanwhile, is going with a beautiful girl who is probably bulimic. He enlists Kramer's mother to spy on her but things fall apart. We also get knowledge, for the first time, of Kramer's actual first name. He has alway just been Kramer. Kramer is liberated and the scenes of him walking down the street are delightful. What a wonderful episode.
