Will Baboo ever get his revenge?
Justin Tribble
In last nights episode where Baboo gets deported, he at the end tells
his friend in Pakistan that he will go to all lengths to get back at
Jerry. Why hasn't he returned? He would make a great guest next
season. Sometimes I wonder if the writers on Seinfeld ever look back
at old episodes. Don't they ever try to bring back great characters
and great ideas from previous years and expand on them? If I were
writing Seinfeld I would watch the reruns to get ideas. Looking back
will help with writing, it's not a cheap way to get ideas at all. I'll
bet those writers never watch old episodes, there out in Hollywood
enjoying the high life. Stupid writers. You know I saw two of the
writers on Howard Stern (I don't watch Howard by the way) on E!
network and the two writers were both annoying and they were lesbians.
Go figure.

What are you talking about. That is one of the great things about
seinfeld. I could name numerous instances where plots pick up years after
they were first started. In the fourth episode "Male Unbonding" Kramer
mentions the idea of a pizza parlor where you make your own pie. It is
not until episode #91 "The Couch" that Kramer and Poppie actually make a
go of it. I am afraid I have to completely disagree with your statement.
Give me an email and we can discuss it further.

Just because you can't wait for a well-thought out surprise doesn't mean the
writers are stupid. I think it is better that they wait, because it will be
more of a surprise and thus funnier.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

The best idea would be having Baboo come back on the final Seinfeld
episode and kill Jerry.

Isn't that slightly errrr... drastic and violent?
Besides if Jerry is killed, however will they make a "Seinfeld Movie
Special" in 10 yrs or so time? :)

Other multiple references: (there are too many to list and this could
easily develop into a long standing thread)
Kramer's idea for a perfume that smells like the beach (The Pez
Dispenser) was actually realized and worne by the model that Jerry met

this season in The Gum (played by a different actor).
In The Puffy Shirt, Goerge referred to his winning of the contest when

In The Caddy, George and Susan return to her parent's restored cabin
that had burned down in The Bubble Boy.
George's phony Vandelay has been used in 4 episodes.
In The Label Maker, George states that he would drape himself in velvet
if he could and then does do this in The Doodle
The woman at Doubleday who interviewed Elaine in The Chaperone also
borrows Mr. Pitt's Tennis Racket in The Switch
Jerry and Elaine attend Gary Fogel's funeral (died in a car accident) in
The Face Painter. Fogel played by Jon Lovitz was the toupee wearing
friend who faked having cancer in The Scofflaw
Several characters appear or are mentioned in multiple episodes
including Crazy Joe DaVola, Poppie, Rachel - Jerry's devout girlfriend,
Bania, Jack Klompus, Evelyn, David Puddy, Tim Whatley, Ping, Karen - The

In season 4, many of the guests that appeared during that season have
cameos where they watch the airing of Jerry and George's pilot in the
season finale.
Then there are the two infamous characters that are sometimes mentioned
but have never been seen on camera:
Jerry's cousin Jeffrey who works for the Parks Dept. and
Kramer's friend Bob Saccamano.

the dust!

uhhh...no. Maybe he should come back to kill you! How dare you wish
death on Jerry! You're a very bad man! Very bad man!

Also I noticed in the handicapped space episode, Jerry mentions to
George "I think I'm gonna buy a yoyo" to which George replies "I can
see that". The yoyo came up in other episodes, like the Junior Mint.

Continuity has never been a big issue with Seinfeld so I'm sure they would
find a way to do it.

My favorite "brought back idea" involves the Pilot
where George says something to the effect of "I
should just do the opposite of everything I think
I should do" (far from verbatim). Seasons later,
an entire episode (a good one at that) is devoted
to his early-early sentiment.

By the way, I remember George eating alone in Reggie's (the "other diner").
The first time was when George kept calling the waitress at Monk's
who went on a walk with George and then disclosed she had a boyfriend.
The second time was when his place at the booth for 4 at Monk's was
usurped by Susan.

Going back to the well too often and designing characters to be recurring
is what destroyed SNL, along with the departure of the original cast.

YEah. The "Not that there's anything wrong with it" episode had a
hospital scene which recalled the one in The Contest, except that the
nurse and patient were both male.

How about "prognosis: negative" . It was the name of a movie in one
ep and the phrase has been used in several other episodes.

How about the way George and Elaine refer to Jerry's comedy
condescendingly as "ya ever notice this/ya ever notice that stuff"? I
remember two instances where they are pretending to either not know him
(Elaine on a date with Russell Dalrymple from NBC describing the pilot),
or not have kept up with him (George pretending to run into him after
years in "The Race").

I think the final episode should have Baboo in it too. The only thing I
would do differently is have Joe Dovola work with him!
See you
