Skip for under 13
Seinfeld S7 E5, “The Hot Tub”, scores 2/5 for violence, 1/5 for sex and 4/5 for language, for an overall kid-rating of 4/5 — Skip for under 13. George picks up a bad habit from some visiting baseball officials. During the time of the New York City Marathon, Elaine has an out of country runner as her house guest. The runner had overslept and missed the big race at the last Olympics and Jerry obsesses with ensuring that it doesn't happen again. Kramer gets a hot tub from his friend Lomez, and Elaine has writer's block.
