In "The Millennium" Jerry dates a woman who uses her speed dial numbers to rank friends and family on a daily basis. Kramer and Newman start organizing rival parties for NYE for the millennium. George is offered the Director of Scouting position with the New York Mets but first must get himself fired from the Yankees. Elaine gets bad customer service from a Mayan clothing store so she starts a shopping spree at a rival store, only to find out they both have the same owner.

This episode kind of feels like a forgotten one in a sense. It's not bad but no one ever really talks about it, makes references from it, or quotes it like many of these other episodes from this era. I guess there's nothing super quotable...

I do love George's bit of him being unable to get himself fired. For a man fired many times during this show's run, it's fun turning the tables on him where he can't even get fired correctly.

Jerry's 'The Graduate' subplot isn't terrible but I do get annoyed when the show gets a little to reference and homage heavy. Elaine's is fine but doesn't add too much from a comedic sense. Kramer's storyline really dates this show for worrying about his millennium party. Lots of these episodes could be relevant today but one about Mayan clothing, speed dials, and the year 2000 is definitely not one of them.

It was so sad for me when Kramer was trying to have the party with Jerry and elain but they didn't care at all. And where Gorge said I'm failed in failling was interesting.

Jerry correctly tells Newman that a millennium (or a decade or a century, for that matter) starts at the beginning of a year that ends with a "1," not a zero. However, Jerry should tell Newman his party would be a year EARLY, not a year late. I can't believe they missed that... Also, the names of the 2 stores Elaine visited - that is, if I heard it right - were Cinco de Mayo... and Puta Mayo. And, that 2nd store name is borderline R-rated. I'm surprised they went ahead with that. And finally, of course this episode is quite hilarious, as all Seinfeld episodes are, but many of the show's episodes have stupid plot elements. When the items fall into the chip-dip in this episode, it wouldn't poison someone, just like there's no way that Susan would've died from licking envelopes in another one.

Thank you for reading.

Not a bad episode, but thankfully a few people have pointed out the error that Jerry made at the end about Newman's supposed error in hosting the millennium party. Anyway, I always like it when Newman is on Seinfeld, and really there should have been a spin-off series for Newman. Wayne Knight pretty much owned the role of Newman, and here he was hot property after his starring role alongside Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, with Michael Douglas in a supporting role. Anyway, in this episode, George does his best to get fired so the Mets can recruit him as a scout, but not to be, and it's quite funny what the twist was.
