Kramer (known as Kessler at this point) apparently has a dog that shoots into the scene for a couple of seconds. He also has apparently "never been out of the building in 10 years". 2. Jerry has a dart board right by the front door and a catcher's mask hanging on his coat rack. 3. George talks about how he wishes he could do the opposite of everything (which became one of the greatest episodes ever, years later) 4. The whole first half of the episode takes place outside of the apartment, which we would come to know and love. 5. Another airport scene (meeting the woman who flew in to meet him - Laura - good trivia), going back to my question from upthread about airport scenes. 6. Very presumptuous of her to tell her fiancee Jerry's home number (the phone number of a host who she has never stayed with and her fiancee has never met), but maybe that was just life before cell phones. And then it just ends. That's the joke at the end. "Never get engaged". Ok. Not sure I'm going to watch this show again. One of the greatest callbacks of the show is how they ended the final episode the way they began the first... with the conversation about the button.

August 11, 20241 yr The weirdest part of the pilot to me is that George is right, there has to be a bunch of decent hotel rooms in New York City, since she was already in a relationship, why did she want to stay in Jerry’s little apartment? Edited August 11, 20241 yr by 'stache

Yeah. The first couple of seasons have a lot of flaws. They were still trying to figure it out in the writer's room. "What writer? I thought we were talking about a sitcom?"
August 15, 20241 yr Remember my friend Adam from Detroit? Yeah, the guy with the flat head? He's a cube!
August 16, 20241 yr Honestly, I think the Finale has aged fine. No, it wasn't great, but compared to the spectacular failure of later finales like Game of Thrones, Lost, etc, the Seinfeld finale seems perfectly fine to me.
August 16, 20241 yr I think the finale in concept was fine just too many call back clips making it feel like a clip show schedule filler from that era and not the end of one of the most iconic shows in TV history.
August 21, 20241 yr Sounds like someone is having a bad day. Yeah, because of you. Well, then I think one of us should leave.
August 27, 20241 yr You want in? You've got to give us odds, at least 2 to 1. You have to put up $200. No, a thousand!
August 29, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, futureman said: this has been discussed here before. For George? Begins and ends with Jane topless in the Hamptons episode. I think.
August 30, 20241 yr Well, if she was a criminal and you had to describe her to a police sketch artist. They'd pick her up in about 10 minutes.
August 30, 20241 yr When Jane comes up on the deck topless and turns to go inside, you can see the pasties over her nips.
September 1, 20241 yr Author God-speed YGIFS. Didn't know you in real life, but with your love and knowledge of Seinfeld, I know you must have been a hell of a guy! I wish I would have had the chance to hang out with you.... maybe in the next one...
September 1, 20241 yr he’s not really dead if we find a way to remember him. he had a way with words. never met him but I’ll miss his posts. rip surly friend.
September 2, 20241 yr We should set up a scholarship in his name, and award it to an aspiring city planner.
