The grumpy old man is played by Bill Erwin. In 2011, Bill Erwin died at the age of 96, after nearly seven decades in Hollywood. Erwin’s Hollywood career dates back to 1941, when he appeared in the movie, “You’re in the Army Now.” His scores of credits include roles on “The Twilight Zone,” “Gunsmoke,” “Perry Mason,” “The Golden Girls,” “Growing Pains,” “Wagon Train,” “The Rifleman,” “The Jeff Foxworthy Show,” “Who’s the Boss?” and “My Name is Earl.”
I also remember him as the old man on the plane in the movie "Planes Trains and Automobiles". A friend and I used to say that he looked like one of the Statler and Waldorf muppets. The muppets that sit on the theater balcony and mock everything.
Newman having a panic attack at Kramer’s door lol. Kramer asking him if he’s ok. And then they go on like nothing ever happened. This show was just so funny.
I love the joke about Jerry and George not putting Elaine in their pilot because they don't know how to write female characters, which is then parodied in the episode where it's just Elaine fighting with another woman about shoes. 😂
The sad thing is, that used to be a joke. Alternative news sources were mostly read by eccentric people. Now we have alternative news to hear from proper journalists, and then there's the absolutely insane nutso propaganda for the real quacks.
I did the same thing as a Freshman in high school. I had a good experience playing checkers every now and then with an old lady named Dorothy. A kid from the grade below me came up to me one day and told me I was spending more time with his grandmother than he does.
I did something similiar but we made sure to let the elderly sign up. Some really just want some one to talk to, some one to ask them questions about their life. So they can remember when they used to be some one. When they were the back bone of the family. And now they have no one except random strangers coming in during their favorite time of day. Every one deserves some one, but it has to be their choice. You should see the people I delivered food to for Loaves and Fishes. so sad, they even offered their food to me so I would stay.
the basic definition of Jewish Stereotypes? That is what sitcoms are for, making fun of the sterotype, which is ok if you are of that sterotype. But he does get a lot of nice looking girl friends so maybe it's worth thinking of
Nooo! I dated him for a couple years, off and on. Not HIM, but someone who had George's worst traits. Cheap, overly frugal, sneaky, judgemental, non-commital, A-hole, and sort of looked like him with the bald spot and short-ish, but better looking. Turned out he was a racist, vengeful, tight wad POS. Once when he took me out to dinner on my birthday to an ethnic restaurant, which I picked and he agreed, he tipped $1. It was a whole cultural experience with excellent food and stellar service. When it came time to leave a tip after he paid the bill he reached in his pocket and was counting change in his hand. I was thinking, "Please don't tip change!!!" He put the change back in his pocket and whew! I was relieved. Until he got his wallet out and placed $1 on the table. 😭 I was very timid back then and froze. I couldn't even find the words to say. I wanted to add to the tip but wasn't sure what cash I had and we were already standing up to leave. I just thought I'd come back later and tip/apologize. When we got to the car the owner/chef came out and asked us if everything was okay. We both said yes, it was great, etc. Then he invited us to come back to eat "at the house". I think he meant "on" the house, and he said it over and over, as if he was apologizing. I was horrified and could never go back there. About a year later I saw his restaurant had a set up at a restaurant fair I went to at a local park. I purposely walked way around it so he wouldn't see me. Somehow he spotted me in the crowd, came out from behind his restaurant booth, approached me and said, "You come back and eat at the house!" Like 3 times! I just said okay and thank you and moved along. I was so embarrassed and a bit ashamed that I didn't say or do something in the moment at his restaurant because I was so timid and afraid of how my "BF" would react to me upping his $1 tip. That was long ago and the person I am today would have spoke up and personally handed the waitress a decent tip. I was actually going to say to my date when we got to the car that I needed to go back in and use the restroom and then i could secretly tip her, but before I could get the courage and the words out of my mouth the owner/chef was running to the car. Ugh 😣
Friends was funny in its own right. Remember, Seinfeld premiered 5 years before Friends. And Seinfeld featured an actual “comedian”, while Friends just had actors.
Such a stupid reaction on Elaines part to the shoes - really, really implausible and so over the top. They must have had some sort of bet in their writers room that week as to whether or not they could squeeze an entire episode out of something as ludicrous.
Yes but no...since they are Jewish, they get cart blanche to do "sterotypes" Most of the show is nothing but stereotypes. And if you disagree then you will be considered Anti semetic. And then they would say who are you to tell us jews what we can and can't do? We were slaves for thousands of years so we get to do whatever we want. Basically it's like a person of African heritage can still say the N word but a Caucasian says it and its automatically racist. Which my definition means no one or every one should be able to say it. And because we are so confused on what is racist and what isn't we leave this stuff alone. Though it seems it's only racist when a european person who isn't Jewish or whatever. Which by definition again, is racist. So the point is, in this day and age, nothing has changed with jewish people and what they can do on TV. Until all races are actually considered equal, this type of thing will happen. And all the european decendents can do is make fun of their own sterotype....but even that is racist...god I hate Politically correct generations.

Watching this as an adult, Jason Alexander is a great actor.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. 👍 I wasn't aware of it.

I thought he looked familiar but I couldn’t remember what his name was or what he acted in. Thanks 👍🏻
He’s in Home Alone too.
I hope he goes to heaven

Hard to believe the record store guy would go onto play Jigsaw in the Saw movies.
He went from getting people to play music, to asking people to play games.
Also called Kramer.. wonder if they're related?

Bill Erwin so funny! Before you go would you mind changing my diaper 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When Newman and Kramer are high fiving and then kramer starts tapping Newmans stomach with his fist, he kills me!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Old Man is one of my favourite episodes. The actor who plays Sid Fields totally nails it.
Kramer is a legend 😂😂❤❤
Kramer was ahead of his time, "...The alternative media Jerry, that's where you get the truth."
No that how hit.ler happened they doing that with newspapers and radio before tv nothing new.
The sad thing is, that used to be a joke. Alternative news sources were mostly read by eccentric people. Now we have alternative news to hear from proper journalists, and then there's the absolutely insane nutso propaganda for the real quacks.
And the record store comeback....Kramer was prescient
Suddenly you see "The Family Guy" friends hanging around , basically Seth Mcflafrfen ripped them off
Newman turned red🤣
I didn't know that Jigsaw started as the record salesman 😂😂😂
In 8th grade my school made us go to an old folks home and cheer em up. It was awful. It was SOO clear they didn’t want us there. This pretty accurate

I volunteer at an assisted living facility and I visit someone on hospice, everyone I’ve met has been super grateful
Praise Jesus, I have never felt that way.
2:28 "This is why you're not in the pilot."
Did Jerry break the 4th wall there? Never noticed that before.
I've been snubbed, Hey give it back, HA they want u back 😂
LMAO!
Oh, I can’t wait to get old and crusty!

If only he would have snubbed the comedy clubs, may have had a good career.
