Talk:Newman (Seinfeld)

message: Knight described him as "pure evil?"  I don't care what your source is, that's from the show itself.  Jerry describes him as pure evil.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.195.242 (talk) 15:30, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

It's been a while, but I don't recall this as a prank...I think he had fleas, and was in Jerry's apartment for some reason, so the fleas spread there...it seems strange to think he would have deliberately released the fleas into the apartment complex since he was itching like crazy from them.

thread_title: Fleas

message: Just my looking at it now;
*"In an interview used on a special Seinfeld DVD bonus disc, Knight recounted an experience where, after a long series of unfortunate events throughout the day, a fan "had the nerve" to say to him, "Hello Newman," thus finally causing Wayne to release his anger on the fan."
*"Unlike Kramer, Newman's first name is never mentioned"
Next paragraph;
*"Newman's first name is never mentiond. [sic]"
*"Because he is cunning and occasionally acts like a weasel, Jerry greets him with a sarcastic "Hello, Newman"."
Next paragraph;
*"Since he is weasel-like, he tends to do some annoying things like attracting fleas to the apartment complex"
I get it, he's like a weasel. (Where did that adjective come from is it in the show?)
First paragraph;
*"He was first mentioned in the original version of Season 2's "The Revenge," in which he was not seen on camera, but was voiced by Larry David. In the syndicated version, Wayne Knight dubbed the part. He was first seen in season 3's "The Suicide." "
Bottom paragraph;
*"Newman was initially introduced as Kramer's pathetic suicidal friend in the second season, but he was never featured on-screen. Instead, he was voiced by the show's co-creator, Larry David. Knight didn't start playing him until the character's first physical appearance in the third season. In syndicated reruns of the first season episode, Knight's voice is dubbed over David's lines."
*"Newman is also revealed to be a fantastic tennis player who uses the same Bruline racket as Mr. Pitt."
No explanation nor link for reader to establish who this random Mr Pitt is (I know, but I've seen every ep as most editors have no doubt)
Anyway, I know I could have started correcting all this in the time I've written it (that was stupid) but I did want to establish to all why I may have to hack the article to pieces! Thoughts? - Glen TC (Stollery) 07:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: This article needs a SERIOUS rewrite.

message: I am referring to a quote towards the beginning of the section on Newman's job as a postal worker.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.188.85.132 (talk) 10:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Update to Newman's Rants - 'The Old Man' - "The mail never stops..."

message: Might be worth mentioning that in the episode "The Revenge", when the Newman character is introduced, he is introduced as unemployed; whereas for the rest of the show his character is a postal carrier who has worked at the Post Office for a long time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.77.96.242 (talk) 06:47, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
