I’m the 90s could you really go to the airport, buy a ticket, board the plane, then get off the plane and get a refund? That seems really bizarre. Absent a medical emergency or call about an emergency (back then it would be a call to the airport and they’d then have to find you) why would there be any reason  to leave a plane once boarded? Also, if it was a points scheme, you generally don’t get points if refunded (I guess you could trick the credit card company if they allowed for cash refund for a credit purchase). That was just a weird plot, seemingly even back then.

Same season, the bereavement fare. The scheme was that George would pretend he’s buying the ticket for Kramer so that Kramer could get frequent flyer miles, but George would use the ticket. Could you really board a plane using someone else’s ticket back then? Seems odd even pre 9-11. The story was also that Kramer was the bereaved but at the end George is trying to get the reimbursement with a picture of himself by the casket. And finally, the ticket was $350 which George and Kramer were each going to pay 1/4. That’s about $87 each. Would the points really be worth more than that amount to Kramer? And wouldn’t points be based off the discounted price not the full price?

The frequent flyer miles story in both plots always confused me.

The 90's were a lawless time where everyone wore pastel colors and were beboppin' and scattin' all over the airport.

Yeah, they would go through intensive periods of pop culture references, and then intentionally avoid them for other long stretches.  

Remember about the time we're in college, Snapple was fucking huge.  Before Arizona Iced Tea, Snapple was all the rage particular on the East Coast.  I wasn't even a fan, but I probably drank a handful per week for a couple years there.

Oh yeah there was like year or two where Snapple was huge/everywhere... I remember my freshman year in college ('93-94) having my little dorm fridge stocked with Snapple Peach Iced Tea.

They were basically just making fun of the ubiquity of it at the time.

But then I also saw an interview one time where basically most of the product placements they threw in (Yoo-hoo, Junior Mints, Drake's Coffee cake, Pez, Clark Bar, Twix, etc.) were generally just random stuff the writers really liked.

By the time Seinfeld became a hit, they generally had no problem on usage... but the one time they were turned down was the food that Rusty the horse was originally supposed to be eating was Chef Boyardee beef ravioli... but I guess they didn't think it was funny that a horse was eating it and then getting terrible flatuence so it became "Beef-a-reeno" lol.

The theme song to Jerry is just phenomenal.  I couldn't come up with a more late-80s, early-90's sounding theme to save my life. 

theme song to Jerry?  What are we talking about?

Another Een sighting!  At the bar when Kramer is trying to tempt Barry Prophet.  Here's to feeling good all the time.

Of course this is Central Park. It was designed in 1850 by Joe Peppitone.

It was built during the Civil War so the northern armies could practice fighting on grass...

LOL I noticed that too when I watched that episode the other day.

EEEEEEN!

These are the world-famous corisso buttons made from the finest antelope horn.

 

Then they'll match my sneakers.

If you need anything else please don’t hesitate to try and find my number.

Do you ever get down on your knees and thank God you know me and have access to my dementia?

Look, I'll drive out here tomorrow and show you the ID.  I got nothing to do all day!

Neither do I.

Do you hate me because of my lazy eye?

Sometimes when Gammy has been out late.  Sometimes when Gammy is not alone.

We don't allow any outside syrups, jams, or condiments in the restaurant.

That happened like two years ago also. Crazy. 

Love it.  32 years and 64 games later, he was bound to get it right.  

Well, you're fired because you don't move your arms when you tap dance. You're like a gorilla out there. I've gotta go...

those aren't buoys!

And this offends you as a Jewish person? 

Man, RIP Ms. Welch.  To that great Scarsdale in the Sky.  

Speaking of this "summer of george" episode...was watching the Dana Gould episode the other night where he's the "Summer George" (different plotline, I realize).  But I didn't know about this whole Bobcat Goldwaite feud with Jerry in real life for like 40 years.  They've been talking shit about each other this whole time, had no idea.  A comic I know once said something in passing to me, but I paid it no mind.  But Dana Gould was talking on a podcast with Bobcat after Jerry berated Bobcat on "ComediansCoffee"  And Dana admitted he has never talked to Jerry since the Summer George van day on the lot.  I figured since he was one of the few standups that appears on Seinfeld, that he and Jerry were friends much like Jerry was with many of the other standups he put on the show.  But nope, apparently both bobcat and Jerry have been total fucking assholes about it.  Just struck me as weird.  

Also....catfight! 

I guess that's the risk you run when you dabble in the flesh trade.
