    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Larry David famously instituted a policy of "no hugging, no learning," meaning that the show must avoid sentimentality and moral lessons, and the characters must never learn or grow from their wrongdoings.
    • Goofs
      Jerry and Kramer's apartment building address is said several times to be 129 West 81st Street, but the awning outside of the building has the address 757.
    • Quotes

      Telemarketer: Hi, would you be interested in switching over to TMI long distance service?

      Jerry: Oh, gee, I can't talk right now. Why don't you give me your home number and I'll call you later?

      Telemarketer: Uh, well I'm sorry, we're not allowed to do that.

      Jerry: Oh, I guess you don't want people calling you at home.

      Telemarketer: No.

      Jerry: Well, now you know how I feel.

    • Crazy credits
      The series does not have an opening credits sequence. Instead, the lead actor credits play out over a scene. Now commonplace in sitcoms and drama series, this was considered a novelty in 1990 and sparked a debate over the future of opening credits in TV series.
    • Alternate versions
      George's father was initially played by 'John Randolph' in the episode "The Handicap Spot". In syndication his guest appearance has been replaced by new footage featuring Jerry Stiller who played George's father in the later episodes. The DVD release of this episode featured in the Season 4 box set allows the option to watch either version.

    The best show ever
    It has ended 6 years ago and we still talk about it, i think that this shows us how fantastic this series was. There are some new programmes that are good, but any of them is half as interesting as Seinfeld was. Many of its episodes are really comedy masterpieces. After watching one of them you become an addict. The characters are fantastic, the actors performed so well that you can't think of them like anything but the character they played, maybe this is the reason because they couldn't success in other shows. The writers who could do 8 seasons of a "show about nothing" doing each episode funnier than the last one deserves our respect and admiration. To sum up, Seinfeld rules

    FAQ12

    • Did Newman wear a 'fat suit' or did he just later lose a lot of weight? In his behind-the-scenes interviews on DVD he looks considerably smaller.
    • Who is Ruthie Cohen?
    • What are the words to George's song on his answering machine?
