    Sarah Palmer and Doc Hayward. Throw in Mrs. Choate and Kramer's cable guy and we'll have a Twin Peaks reunion.

    Does George really believe he can escape all responsiblity in life by saying, "I had bad parents!" At some point you would think he couldn't blame Frank and Estelle Costanza forever.

    funny how he was cherishing the cabin for 45 years since his dad died in 1958 which would mean that convo took place in 2003, after the show was off the air🤣
