I really wish Seinfeld had gotten a Del Boca Vista spin off after the show. Get Frank and Estelle down there, lock. Stock. And barrel. And have them as well as Morty and Helen get into weird old people politics. That crew was exactly my grandparents growing up and my parents felt it like the main cast does cause the ages line up almost exactly. Morty and Helen are literally my grandparents on my mom's side. Also watching my parents get grandparent habits gradually over the years has been well observed in those as well. Plus you've got the MANDLEBAUM'S
I don't know if that would've been a blessing or a curse. Haha
I like that it ended when and how it did, then LD went on to do Curb.
But I feel you. Estelle reminds me of my grandma, no offense to my grandma. RIP So it was always fun to watch her on the show! And Frank reminds me a lot of my dad, oddly enough. Frank and Estelle were my favorite non-main 4 characters.
I'd have to check who had writing credits if anyone in particular for the Florida episodes, maybe if it was mostly Larry Charles he could have gotten somewhere. It's VERY well observed. The Pen and the #1 shirt are so fucking on point
I always forget that's The English Patient cause it's a famous A plot that I'm eh on, but the Mandlebaum Odyssey is maybe my favorite bit from the whole show.

The Pen was Larry David, unsurprisingly.
The English Patient (#1 dad shirt episode) was apparently Steve Koren.

I agree, the "main" Elaine plot on that one is secondary for me compared to the Mandlebaums.
