Thank you, juniorz! The voice of reason! Even if the blind item was about him (which, based on their "clues," it's not), they got the facts wrong -- "The Michael Richards Show" didn't last a few seasons. It didn't even fill out its order or the full TV season it premiered, if I remember correctly.

Don't forget, they clapped after his apology (it was after Seinfeld said everyone should forgive him or something).

I was completely shocked when I first tuned into Letterman. They were so solemn and they first few lines of dialogue seemed so ambiguous and depressing. I thought one of the Seinfeld foursome had died!

I'm more annoyed at the laughter on the part of the crowd and his bullshit apology than the fact he actually said it. Yes, Michael Kramer, you are a racist. If the first thing you do is start talking about is lynching and using a racial slur because someone doesn't think you're funny, you're a racist. Don't try to apologize because the only thing you're sorry for is the fact that it was caught on video, not for actually using the slur. And to the crowd that continued to laugh, what the hell does that say about their character that they thought that [!@#$%^&*] was funny?

But see, that's the thing. MG will return before MR will, and that's the true shame. LIke a statement Sinbad made, Richards went to a whole different place when he said that 50 years ago we would have had a knife stuck up our backsides while being hung upside down. That is saying that there is some true, deep down hatred of himself and others, to say something like that. And for two hecklers to bring out that kind of filth?!

You can't return from that.

Filth, hatred, self-hatred, and, even, stupidity. The heckler was right once he started talking back. It was funny when he cracked back about his crap career.

I'm watching last night's Dave Letterman right now. He is on there via sattelite.

He just said he "trash talked AfroAmericans" and people laughed. And Jerry said stop laughing. And then MR said he should not be addressing it on this show because it's not a comedic thing.

Hmmm, yep, way to use your brain on that one.

NO!! Michael Richards is NOT Jewish...and we don't want him either!! I know it is hard to believe he is a comedian and not Jewish, but I guess there are a few (LOL)! Seinfeld is Jewish and "Kramer" may have been portrayed as Jewish (never watched the show).

    •   It's just so much fun!   She really was what made the show come together. I remember thinking what a mistake it was to write her out temporarily. I wonder how I'll feel during this rewatch, but I'm fairly certain her absence contributed to the show ending after season 5.
    • Thank you @Paul Raven The Kay/Kill stuff sounds like fire.   @soapfan770 I saw someone asking about old episodes you had... in case anyone has old tapes but not a VCR, DM me, I am willing to convert them for free.
    • I think Krista is too hot or her. I think the current actress works bc she comes across so basic. Thats not a dig but she feels very normal and relatable as an average suburban woman. I think if Krista was in the role, Id want more out of her but I dont think Jan is meant for bigger things

    • The sad thing about SC being a great actor is that his character has never worked. Ever. And yes if I don't know what Liam is about and just focus on acting... I can appreciate him. But as soon as I connect him to Liam... I cringe.  Maybe SC should run till he is still young and find himself a role where he can shine. 
    • As I've said before I don't believe the fact that both sisters have cheating husbands (one in the past, one more recently) is a coincidence or anything random. It's pre-thought and pre-planned and the message is clear. Cheaters can be found in all shapes, forms and sizes. Some do it in the most blatant way, they are known serial cheaters and their wives know of their past hook ups (as Dani has already said... she was willing to forgive Bill for his previous mistresses... till Hayley came) and some are more masterfully disguised in the image of the perfect husband. The fact that Dani was jealous of her sister Nicole's happy marriage in the first episodes was not a coincidence. I knew it the first second I heard it. It made me wonder and think what is beneath Nicole and Ted's picture perfect life. The show painted two very different sisters and then gave them the same crisis. It was intentional and dramatically focused on how these women acted after that... How they kept or did not keep their dignity. The contrasts and the similarities are not random. They connected the two stories very well. Telling us that beyond the gates there are secrets... lies and betrayals. And sometimes the happiest ones have the biggest skeletons in their closets. Is all of this a cliche? A soap opera serial cliche? Yes. Does it still work? Yes. And did we need to start with something that is more universal and easier to stomach by the mass audience? Yes. This is only the beginning of the show in terms of stories and themes. We will have years ahead of us to explore different aspects of these people. The first couple of months it had to be a classic sex and betrayal story that makes more people hooked. It's universal. Again. Nothing so far about both husbands being cheaters is coincidental for me. It's too early for that.
    • Thanks, these are great! Joanne Curtis, another soap character punished for having an abortion

    • Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . Tricia Mann Grant is 90s early 2000s quality FINE. As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.
