    Storyline

    • 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]

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 In syndication his guest appearance has been replaced by new footage featuring Jerry Stiller who played George's father in the later episodes.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

    Seinfeld. Where to begin with the show about nothing?
    The best sitcom ever to be produced and aired on TV. Every episode is memorable and has great joke after joke which many still live on today such as "These pretzels are making me thirsty!" or "Can you spare a square?" Seinfeld can make any situation funny and relatable, whether it be going on a trip to the Hamptons, trying to open a pizza place where you make your own pie or getting stuck in a limo with Nazis pointing guns at you.

    Of course, the main appeal of Seinfeld comes from the characters: The sarcastic and germaphobic Jerry Seinfeld, the neurotic, short, stocky, slow-witted, bald man with glasses George Costanza, the clever, sassy Elaine Benes, the wacky, next-door neighbour Cosmo Kramer and the most vile mailman you'll ever meet... Newman.

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