Jason Alexander Initially Thought A Classic Seinfeld Episode Was Too Far-Fetched

In the episode “The Bubble Boy” (October 7, 1992), George (Jason Alexander), his girlfriend Susan (Heidi Suwaidberg), Jerry (Jerry Sinfeld) and Elin (Julia Luis Drifus) go on the road to the lake cabin in the cabin in New York. Before they go, Jerry is stopped by a man in a cafe that (Jerry is a famous comedy in the world of show). Jerry and his friends cover him to visit his son Donald (John Heiman), who will estimate a visit from a celebrity. Donald is sensitive to germs and must live in a tight -closed plastic tent to avoid the disease. Jerry, being very rude, immediately begins to describe the child as a “bubble boy”.

When the road trip finally begins, George is a warrior on the road, and during the trip as quickly as possible. He arrives at Donald’s home early. Additional time forces George and Susan to spend time by playing trivial chase with Donald, his real passion. Donald unprecedented on the camera, but his hands can be seen in the frame that manipulates a trivial identical plate. Donald finds that George is incredibly polite, and he is proud of his trivial skills. George immediately hates him, but he agrees to play the game. Of course, George ultimately becomes defensive, and eventually turns into a mockery of the boy in the plastic bubble. Have you mentioned that the characters on “Senefield” are all terrible people?

Jason Alexander, as he revealed the special features of DVD tablets in the episode, a type of “The Bubble Boy”. The episode came during the fourth season of the show, and Alexander felt that it was a very big concept in his favor. Most of the “Seinfeld” episodes are derived from the well -known daily nervousness. He felt that “The Bubble Boy” was officially. It was a sign of the actor that “Senefield” failed.

Here is how Alexander described it on the special DVD features:

“The Bubble Boy” is the ideal example of everything you should not do. Because first and foremost, where are we? […] Who seems to be a 50 -year -old man. We play the trivial hunt? This is not … it’s not our offer. ”

Alexander does not say that, but he clearly felt that the concept was very complicated for “Seinfeld”, a more usually series about daily weaknesses and the way people interact with them. “Seinfeld” avoided a lot of traditional Trops, not the least of which is the spirit of “circumstance” in coordination. The situations on “Senefeld” were unscruptured or ordinary events. The “The Bubble Boy”, in the eyes of Alexander, was very extreme. (It did not make our list of the top 15 episodes of “Senefeld”.)

The episode’s book, Larry Charles and Larry David, found a way to this “daily” idea in “The Bubble Boy”, of course. At the height of the episode, George finds a mistake on one of the trivial chase cards that read “The Moops” instead of “The Mors”. Because he loses heavily, Donald will not allow him, although he knows the correct answer. George stands at home, and he seems to be a full hole in this process. Despite the high concept, there is still a way to remove George George. They all live in hell from their construction.

In the end, Alexander came, admitting that “The Bubble Boy” was not the moment of “shark jump” because it was a way to pay the envelope. “Another wonderful example,” said, “A mistake, they have a right.” It takes a big man to admit it.
