T/F: Susan's parents are the most savage characters on Seinfeld

"There's no solarium. There's no Prickly Pete. There's no other solarium."

"We know, George."

They also forgot to put out the rye bread.

Elaine’s father was legit terrifying to the cast.

That scene where he tells Jerry he won't allow him to walk with him and his daughter dressed like that always pissed me off. If Jerry spent so much on it that Elaine gets all hot and bothered over it, I'd have said "Great, I'll wait 5 minutes and meet you there. I'm not ruining this brand new jacket so you don't feel embarrassed."

I understand the whole point of that episode is the dad is terrifying, but I can't help but get annoyed.

I feel the same way about this episode and I get the whole point as well. I just want to say, you go ahead you old frick, I don't want to ruin my expensive jacket just to walk with your arse.

I always end up mocking him like George does earlier in the episode.."He's in da baaaaa-troom!" lol

Think about the absolute destruction George did that family.

- Gave away the cigars, from Susan’s dad, that led to the cabin burning down
- The cabin burn in down led to the exposure of Susan’s dad’s homosexual tryst
- Bought cheap envelopes that caused Susan’s death.

George got off light....

Wish we had gotten more Frank Costanza interaction with them.

They had every right to be terrified.

Lawrence Tierney (also well know to many of us via his role as crime boss Joe Cabot in Reservoir Dogs) was certified bad news.

Tierney's numerous arrests for being drunk and disorderly and jail terms for assault on civilians and lawmen alike took a toll on his career.

Between 1944 and 1951, Tierney was arrested over 12 times in Los Angeles for brawling, frequently for drunkenness which included ripping a public telephone off a wall in a bar, hitting a waiter in the face with a sugar bowl for refusing to serve him any more drinks, and attempting to choke a taxi driver. He was jailed for three months for brawling in May 1947 and again in June 1949. His legal troubles included a 90-day jail sentence which he served from August to October 1951 for breaking a New York college student's jaw during another barroom brawl. He served 66 days in the city jail in Chicago, Illinois from March to May 1952 for drunk and disorderly charges. In New York City, he was arrested for assault and battery of a barroom pianist in August 1953 and again in October 1958 for resisting arrest and assaulting two police officers in another barroom brawl. At the time of his October 1958 arrest outside a Manhattan bar, The New York Times reported that he had been arrested six times in California and five in New York City on similar charges.


In January 1973, he was stabbed in a bar fight on the West Side of Manhattan. Two years later Tierney was questioned by New York City police in connection with the apparent suicide of a 24-year-old woman who had jumped from the window of her high-rise apartment. Tierney told police "I had just gotten there, and she just went out the window." He never was arrested or charged with the young woman's death. The apparent suicide closely resembles the death of Rosa, played by Allene Roberts in the 1951 film The Hoodlum. Tierney’s Vincent Lubeck, the hoodlum of the title, is suspected of driving Rosa into throwing herself off a roof shortly after talking to Lubeck.

In July 1991, during the filming of Reservoir Dogs, Tierney shot at his nephew in a drunken rage at his Hollywood apartment, and was arrested and bailed. He was released for a day from the jail to continue filming, as recounted by the film's director Quentin Tarantino in an interview. As a result, Tarantino never again worked with or hired Tierney to act in his films.

His long-time agent, Don Gerler, recounted Tierney's continuing troubles with the law: "A few years back [in 1994] I was still bailing him out of jail. He was 75-years-old and still the toughest guy in the bar!"

George is the most savage character.

No question. Elaine is pretty high on the list as well.
