Newman, played the brilliant Wayne Knight, has now been around for many episodes and yet there does not appear to be any sort of outward conflict between Newman and Jerry. "The Barber" changes that, providing the audience with the first battle between Jerry and Newman, to hilarious results.
George is at an interview, and manages to impress the boss. However, before he can confirm whether or not George has been hired, he gets a call and George leaves, not sure whether he has the job. Jerry gets a terrible haircut, which prevents him from going to a bachelor auction with Elaine.
Wayne Knight and Jason Alexander steal this episode. Knight is especially terrific, creepy and lovable all the same. The conflict between Jerry and Newman is perfect for the episode, over the top as is the episode itself. It resorts to operatic music as a soundtrack, rarely does "Seinfeld" use soundtracks but here they use an operatic theme. It works perfectly, the two barbers are fairly entertaining although the performances do not tend to be excellent.
George's situation is brilliant, as usual George is on the receiving end once more! Newman is perfect, and "The Barber" actually ends with a few short extra scenes rather than Jerry's usual stand up. Really dug that!
