Not much to say here really. I think this was a turning point in Seinfeld.
When George is purple in the back of an ambulance...strange but hilarious.
Seinfeld is the perfect sitcom for this very reason. It makes nothing seem so funny.
Kramer is great in this episode, as he persuades George to go to a herbal healer.
The healer reacts perfectly to the other characters. Like Curb Your Enthusiasm the comedy is superbly crafted.
Another classics, much like all the episodes.
Situational comedy at it's best.
