In "The Calzone", Jerry is dating a woman who can get anything she wants in any situation. He uses it to get tickets to sold out movies and to get out of speeding tickets. George starts eating lunch each day with Mr. Steinbrenner. They get calzones from the same restaurant everyday. But this becomes a problem when George is wrongly accused of stealing from the tip charge when, in actuality, he's trying to re-tip with the same money so that they notice his good deed. Kramer starts putting his clothes in the dryer every day for that warm feel. He uses Jerry's oven to save money on quarters. Elaine gets tricked into dating a guy who keeps losing bets on purpose so he can spend time with her.

Oh this one is just great! It feels a bit like a George-centric episode which I'm always a big fan of. It's got a nice bit part from Newman, a hair-brain scheme from Kramer, and Jerry torpedoing his 10,000th relationship. This also might be the most we ever see Steinbrenner on-screen in any one episode. The jokes all land, all the individual storylines are great. There's nothing to complain about with this one.

I don't recall hearing this phrase so much in other episodes, used a few times here which highlights just how absurd and ridiculous this episode was, my favorite. Kramer's involvement that started with a silly innocent desire for freshly dried clothes to failing to help George's desperate effort to get Steinbrenner his calzones (after George is banned for *stealing* from the tip jar), to paying back Elaine's conman date with a pillowcase of coins. And Jerry's blonde date can get tickets to a sold-out show or save Jerry from a heinous speeding ticket. And we even get a glimpse into Newman's dark side. "What do I know about a cookin' a shirt?!" "Why can't you do that in your oven? I'm baking a pie!" *Chef's kiss*

George speaks the truth in The Calzone, when he seeks to demonstrate his tipping generosity at the calzone store, and gets into hot water, and it reminded me of when George was justifiably infuriated when his date took credit for buying the big salad for Elaine, when it was George who paid for it.

I loved the Dustin Hoffman in Star Wars sub-plot was funny and it was about a date. Anyway, I'm enjoying rewatching Seinfeld after having first watched it when it debuted in the 1990s, and it lives on that's for sure. I sometimes wonder if the scenes outside the studio are watched by those in the studio audience.
