Trivia
This episode marked Julia Louis-Dreyfus's full return to the series. Louis-Dreyfus was on maternity leave. She did not appear in episodes 4.1, The Trip: Part 1 (1992), & 4.2, The Trip: Part 2 (1992), and made pre-recorded cameo appearances in episodes 4.3, The Pitch (1992), & 4.4, The Ticket (1992). This is why the studio audience cheers loudly when she enters Jerry's (Jerry Seinfeld) apartment.

Goofs
During the filming of the scene in which Kramer accidentally sets his hair on fire, Michael Richards wore a wig to protect his scalp. When he ran into the bathroom, the wig fell off causing the cast to laugh. They can be seen beginning to laugh just before the scene is cut.

Quotes
[last lines]
Jerry Seinfeld: Don't you hate to-be-continueds on TV? It's horrible when you sense the "to be continued" coming, you know? You're watching the show. You're into the story. Then there's, like, 5 minutes left, and suddenly you realize, "Hey, they can't make it! Timmy's still stuck in the cave. There's no way they wrap this up in 5 minutes." I mean, the whole reason you watch a TV show is because it ends. If I wanted a long, boring story with no point to it, I have my life. A comedian can't do that. See, I can't go, "A man walks into a bar with a pig under his arm. Can you come back next week?"

Good, not great, episode

There are some really good moments in this episode, but it also marks my most contentious moments with George. The way he handled the NBC offer made him pretty reprehensible, especially when you consider he wasn't even a part of pitch anyways and he was only included in the process because Jerry let him tag along. He really doubles down on the irritation when he gets sarcastic with Jerry about the offer. Costanza is always a buffoon but he's downright unlikeable in this episode.

Elaine coming back is great. You don't realize how important she is to the shows chemistry until she's gone.

Kramer is a mooch. The way he accepts the cigars is equally funny and annoying 😂🙄.
