Twelve Gifts For The Seinfeld Fan
Okay, I know this gift list is not relevant to 2013. But let's choose to ignore that fact because there are definitely people who still re-watch/love this show and would really be into some of these gifts. Like what, you ask?
1. A chocolate (or cinnamon) babka. Available online through Greens Bakery or by making it yourself by Googling the recipe.
2. The black and white cookie. Available in any New York bakery and the recipe can be found here.
3. The Real Kramer Reality Tour (three hours). Tickets available online for $37.50.
4. Actual muffin tops. Not hard to get, either make or buy them and then pop the tops.
5. The Original Soupman's retail soup. Available in grocery stores and online.
6. Astonishing Tales Of The Sea book. Available online.
7. A book (or a book on tape) about Risk Management. Available online.
8. Tropic of Capricorn or Tropic of Cancer books
9. A book of French impressionist art to put in your bathroom.
10. A book of War & Peace but with a self-made cover of “War, What Is It Good For?”. There's a tutorial on how to make your own book cover here.
11. This photo in a frame.
12. Festivus In A Box. Available online.
BONUS PRINTOUT
Of course there are tons of more ideas, but let's not go overboard here. The show did end fifteen years ago.
Sleep
Love.
Roseanne "Stash From The Past" Episode
This Roseanne episode "Stash From The Past" is probably in the top three of their best episodes. Can't even describe how much the bathroom scene makes me laugh. Jackie is perfection.
Bob's Burgers Made Into REAL Burgers
I'm going to assume that you already watch Bob's Burgers. And if you haven't? Well, I'll speak to you privately later. Everyone should be watching this show.
Anyway, in every episode there's a different burger-of-the-day that's featured in the background of the restaurant on a chalkboard (see above photos). And I just found out that there's some magical human being out there WHO'S ACTUALLY MAKING THESE BURGERS! I love it when people do stuff like this. Ya know, fun stuff. Just such a neat idea. You can see for yourself over at The Bob's Burgers Experiment. I've included a few examples of what they've done below.
The Cauliflower’s Cumin From Inside The House Burger (comes with cauliflower and cumin)
Angus beef patty topped with jalapeno cheese, tomato, lettuce, onion and of course - the triple C combo: a mash of cauliflower, cumin and cilantro.
The Bruschetta-bout it Burger
An angus beef patty topped with bruschetta and mozzarella cheese, dressed lightly with balsamic vinegar on toasted french bread. Comes with a light salad.
Pickle My Funny Bone Burger
All beef patty topped with fried pickles (delicious dill coated in an italian herb and red pepper batter) and a deliciously creamy mayo-ketchup-hot sauce combo. Served with a pickled beet salad.
SUCH a good idea for a blog. Can't wait to see what other ones they make.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - Hex and the Single Guy (Also, I know that Fresh Prince had another Halloween episode, but this one was world's better, so it's the only one worth mentioning.)
Saved by the Bell - Mystery Weekend (Yes, this isn't a Halloween one, but murder mystery weekends count.)
The special, two-part season six Halloween episode of Growing Pains (part one & part two)
Blossom - Season Three - All Hallows Eve
Living Single - Trick or Trust
Who’s The Boss - Misery (not a Halloween one, but it’s a Misery parody and it’s perfect)
Modern Family - okay I don’t like this show, but I love these two episodes: Halloween and The Last Halloween
Bob's Burgers (list below) (clearly I should add an entire new post for this show)

Can't even tell you how giddy this screenshot always makes me.
If you're wondering where my Simpsons Halloween post is - aww, you're really cute. Of course I love those episodes, but I can't possibly list my favourites for you to peruse. That's the joy of watching those episodes, picking and choosing a few different ones to watch each year since there are so many to choose from!
And for the last time, here are the links to my previous posts on Halloween sitcom episodes:
Part Seven - Two Guys and a Girl Halloween Episodes
Two Guys and A Girl used to be Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place. (My boyfriend knew this tiny piece of information, which impressed the hell out me on our first date; I'm easily impressed.) This show was probably the best thing to ever happen to ABC and only lasted four beautiful seasons.
And the season four episode The Satanic Curses? Might be my favourite television Halloween episode of all time. Everything about it is perfect. Me and my brother Robbie lost our minds laughing at the part when Ryan Reynolds' arms fall off. Fuck. So funny. And the other two episodes listed are great, too. The season two episode is surprisingly good, too - especially Ryan Reynolds reaction at 15 minutes, 55 seconds. Makes me laugh so much. Watch! Links below.
Season Two - Two Guys, a Girl and a Psycho Halloween
Season Three - Halloween 2: Mind Over Body
Season Four - The Satanic Curses

Part Six - Martin Halloween Episodes
Don't judge me, I love these episodes. I bought season one a long time ago when I suddenly remembered this show's existence, so I came home and put it on and could only watch a few episodes. It's really hard to watch more than a few 'cause of how dated and ridiculous it is now. Nevertheless, these episodes? Gems. Links are below.
Season One - The Night He Came Home
Season Five - Boo's In The House

Marcia Wallace, 1942 - 2013
The main thing you should know about me? I dearly and intimately love The Simpsons. Not just the first ten seasons, not just a few great episodes and not just a couple of characters. I won't be able to fully express how I feel about this beautifully perfect show, probably ever. Things happen in my daily life (and possibly yours as well) constantly where I'm reminded of certain lines or scenes, and I hope that never changes. I can't possibly describe the amount of joy it's brought me. To be honest, even if I could explain how I feel about the show, you just wouldn't understand how deep it goes. (I hear how ridiculous that sounds, but yeah - you really wouldn't get it. I barely understand how strongly I feel about it.)
And I've worried about this day - the one where a major character/irreplaceable actor or actress should pass away in real life. It's been almost 24 years and I figured it had to happen at some point - and I knew I wouldn't be ready. I'm grateful the show is still going strong, but obviously this is a sad time since Marcia Wallace (Edna Krabappel) was an absolute gem.
This was my Halloween costume from 2012 - and while I was going to repost it this week anyway since October 31st is coming up, I definitely felt the need to post it now more than ever. She was such an incredible voice actress and there's no doubt that she'll be greatly missed.
I've read that they're going to retire her character (like they did with Phil Hartman) and that couldn't make me love the show any more.
Goodnight, Edna K.
