Trivia
First reference to Newman's (Wayne Knight) occupation as a mailman.

Goofs
Kramer and Newman both refer to the record store as "Ron's Records" as does Ron himself. The sign outside the store however, clearly shows the name is Bleecker Bob's Records.

Quotes
George Costanza: Let me ask you something. What do you do for a living, Newman?
Newman: I'm a United States postal worker.
George Costanza: Aren't those the guys that always go crazy and come back with a gun and shoot everybody?
Newman: Sometimes.
Jerry Seinfeld: Why is that?
Newman: Because the mail never stops! It just keeps coming and coming and coming. There's never a letup, it's relentless. Every day it piles up more and more and more, and you gotta get it out, but the more you get it out, the more it keeps coming in! And then the barcode reader breaks! And then, it's Publisher's Clearinghouse Day!
Jerry Seinfeld: All right, all right, all right!

Featured review

7/10

Saw

A very different feel of an episode. A lot of shaningans going on here.

March 21st of year 2023rd...

What was going on in this episode?: the gang volunteer to talk to senior citizens

George is rude and uses oil

Jerry's old man is rude

Elaine's story was boring. All she does is sit.

Kramer and Newman aka the mailman sell records to Saw.

Story and The production overview: A clumsy good episode

Highlight: When I saw Saw.

Villian: Saw for ripping off Cosmo Kramer and Newman... Jerry's old man.

Laugh meter: 6

Girlfriend attractiveness level: George's oil friend was a 10.

What can be learned?: not all old people are wise.

Verdict: Saw killed this episode.
