Trivia

Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer spend the episode trying to find their lost car in a parking garage. The episode was supposed to end with the four of them driving around without being able to find the exit. While shooting, however, the car wouldn't start, resulting in a revised ending. Kramer getting out of the car, looking into the horizon, and getting back in was completely improvised, and it's possible to see the other actors starting to laugh at the end of the take.

User Reviews

One of the best episodes of the show!

This episode is so amazing, it was the first episode of the show I saw, and still remains one of my favorites. It is so dark, and gives you such a relatable feeling of being "lost", it almost borderlines being eerie in it's wicked sense of humor. The atmosphere created in this episode is remarkable, and it always keeps you on the edge wondering what will happen next. I mean, who can't relate to not being able to find your car in a parking garage, and just getting lost out of your mind? It is the ultimate episode about nothing, and to me defines the show's spirit of dark humor and relatable situations. It really is a true Seinfeld classic. You can watch it so many times and still find it enjoyable. It is a treat for all new and old fans!
