Rock had watched television reruns most of his life, beginning with Sky King in 1962, followed by I Love Lucy, My Three Sons, Andy Griffith, with a middling period dominated by Coach, the Star Trek renewals, and, of course, Seinfeld, all the way to The King of Queens, but he had never seen this particular program, or even heard of it, which kind of shocked him.
In his den in Levy, right before him, was a Seinfeld episode with full-frontal nudity. Jerry and Elaine walked around in Jerry's apartment buck naked. The thing was, it was actually kind of funny, and also a bit gross, both characterizations augmented by each actor's new obesity.
This show aired thirty years earlier, and Rock couldn't imagine how he had never known about it.
