I remember seeing The Butter Shave back in the late 1990s, when this debuted, an I'm enjoying reflecting upon this episode an other episodes now that I'm re-watching them. The Butter Shave, well I like the allegory of Seinfeld being the show that gave lesser-quality shows the chance to shine in the prime post-Seinfeld timeslot under NBC's must see tv that dominated Thursday night viewing, and here it's Seinfeld upset that his top-notch act is giving legs to Bania's sub-rate act. The butter shave plot didn't really do much and kind of got silly with Newman and all. George's act of being disabled lost its humor after awhile.
