    Storyline

    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.

      [Jerry hangs up phone]

    • 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 In syndication his guest appearance has been replaced by new footage featuring Jerry Stiller who played George's father in the later episodes.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.

    I Absolutely Love It.
    This show was totally unique. Nothing has been done like it before, or since (with the possible exception of the Simpsons, which does mimic some of the "nothing" plots a little). While it was about nothing, it was really about everything--but the little things that no one thinks about, like giving your bank code to your fiancé. I also liked how this show was the last of the "non-fashion" shows.

    You always saw Kramer wear the same ridiculous jacket, pants, and shirt. George always had those too-small plaid shirts and even Jerry had the black-and-gray striped shirt we saw him wear in the one where he and George make "The Pact". Even Elaine had many of the same clothes, even after her "make-over". I mean, I LOVE the show Friends but every time the guys have a new turtleneck or sweater, and the girls always have a new dress or a new pair of pants, which is totally unrealistic (for the guys anyway).

    This show had consistent humour all the way up to the last season, which is unusual for many shows. I LOVED George styling his hair to look like the bald guy from NYPD Blue, Elaine buying the JuJubes on the way to the hospital, Uncle Leo yelling "STOP THE SHOW" on the PBS special--these were just some of the great moments! This show is the best on televison, and if you haven't seen it, go and watch now!

    FAQ8

    • 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.
    • Other than the "Chinese Restaurant" episode, is there any other mention of Jerry having a sister?
    • Who is Ruthie Cohen?
