- 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.

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 In syndication his guest appearance has been replaced by new footage featuring Jerry Stiller who played George's father in the later episodes.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

Written by Jonathan Wolff
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.
