I'm Telling You for the Last Time

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Jerry Seinfeld; Genre: Comedy

For those who either (a) don't live in New York, (b) don't have cable, or (c) couldn't get tickets, I'm Telling Your for the Last Time, the audio companion to Jerry Seinfeld's HBO broadcast, is your last resort. On its own, the CD is a more than respectable stand-up disc; Seinfeld's riffs on airplane bathrooms, Halloween masks, pharmacists, and supermarkets (''that Oscar Mayer section's creepy too — this guy's inventing meat'') are worthy of preservation. Still, let's hope he also retires his gratuitous meanness, heard here in numerous disses of working-class people. B+
