Two-parters

Throughout the show's nine season run, there were eight two-part epidsodes:

The Boyfriend in Season 3 (1992)
The Pilot in Season 4 (1993)
The Raincoats in Season 5 (1994)
The Highlights of 100 in Season 6 (1995)
The Cadillac in Season 7 (1996)
The Bottle Deposit in Season 7 (1996)
The Chronicle in Season 9 (1998)
The Finale in Season 9 (1998)

"Male Unbonding" (...but not "The...")

"Male Unbonding" (Episode 4 of Season 1) is the only episode title of 180 total shows not to begin with the word "The".

Also, poor Joel Horneck...

Judge Reinhold as the Close Talker

In case you didn't notice, "The Close Talker" in the Season 5 episode "The Raincoats" is Judge Reinhold, from Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Ruthless People. He actually won an Emmy award for "Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series" for the episode.

Pinko Commie Rag

In the Seinfeld episode "The Race", Elaine discovers her new boyfriend is a communist by finding a copy of the Daily Worker in her apartment...

Which leads to George responding to a personal ad in the Daily Worker...

The lost episode!

The only episode written...but never filmed.

The season: 2 ... The year: 1991 ...

"The Bet", also known as "The Gun", is an episode that was written for the second season, but was never filmed. In the episode, Elaine bets against Jerry on the ease of buying a handgun to protect herself. In a subplot, Kramer returns from a vacation in Puerto Rico and tells Jerry and George he had sex with a flight attendant during the flight back. George makes a bet with him and goes to the airport with Jerry and Elaine to ask the flight attendant if Kramer's allegation is true.

Read about that crazy episode here.

Ages

Quite the age spread...currently:

Kramer - 66 years old
Jerry - 61 years old
George - 55 years old
Elaine - 54 years old

Kramer = 11 years older than George, 12 years older than Elaine.

Who knew?

Well this rules...

From "The Pledge Drive",

One day after the episode first aired, Ian Abercrombie (Mr. Pitt) was having lunch in a restaurant; while he was waiting for his coffee, the waiter put a plate with a Snickers bar on his table. Apparently, the whole restaurant was in on the joke.

The secret siblings of Seinfeld

...introducing a guest post from Mr. Chris Jaskot:

It would appear that all of the main characters in the show are only children, however that is not the case. Although never mentioned more than once, 3 of the main 4 characters of the show reveal a hidden sibling throughout the course of the show, always in passing and never to be seen or mentioned again...

Elaine's Sister: - "The Pick" - Season 4 - Episode 13 (nip slip)

Elaine: Oh, God - my nephew! (Picks up the phone and hits the button) Hi, Gail!.. Yu.. yu... Yes, Gail, I know how old he is.

Jerry's Sister: - "The Chinese Restaurant" - Season 2 - Episode 6

Jerry: Oh my god, Lorraine... that's Lorraine from my uncle's office. I'm in big, big trouble.
Elaine: The one you broke the plans with tonight?
Jerry: Yeah, she works in his office. Now she's gonna see him tomorrow and tell him she saw me here tonight. He's gonna tell his wife, his wife's gonna call my mother. Oh, this is bad, you don't know, the chain reaction of calls this is gonna set off. New York, Long Island, Florida, it's like the Bermuda Triangle. Unfortunately, nobody ever disappears. My uncle to my aunt, my aunt to my mother, my mother to my uncle...My uncle to my cousin, my cousin to my sister, my sister to me.

George's Brother: - "The Parking Space" - Season 3 - Episode 22

George: I can't park in a garage.
Elaine: Why?
George: I don't know, I just can't. Nobody in my family can pay for parking, it's a sickness. My father never paid for parking; my mother, my brother, nobody. We can't do it.

Writing

While Jerry co-wrote the majority of the episodes in seasons 1 and 2 with Larry David, things slowed down once the show picked up steam. After that, he only wrote 1 episode in season 3, 1 episode in season 4, 3 in season 5, and 1 final episode in season 6. Did you notice any change in direction as he pulled away?

Jerry in ... Benson??

Apparently so. Check it out:

Scarface as Seinfeld!

Two Directors, Two Eras

Other than a few exceptions, the show featured just two directors over 9 seasons. Tom Cherones directed all but 5 episodes in seasons 1-5 (1990-1994) for a total of 81 episodes, and Andy Ackerman directed all but 2 episodes in seasons 6-9 (1994-1998), totaling 98 episodes.

INTERESTINGLY, our buddy Jason Alexander directed one episode - The Good Samaritan (1992) - the only time a cast member took over such duties. Did you notice anything unique about that one?

Tattoo of the week

Here's to feeling good...all the time.

PING!

Jerry's Chinese food delivery guy was a reoccurring character that often went unnoticed.

PING appeared in the following episodes:

The Tape - Season 3, Episode 8
The Virgin - Season 4, Episode 10
The Visa - Season 4, Episode 15



And his real life name is also Ping. So there's that.

"You can take the B or the F and switch for the N at Broadway/Lafayette, or you can go over the bridge to DeKalb and catch the Q to Atlantic Avenue, then switch to the IRT—2, 3, 4 or 5—but don't get on the G. See, that's very tempting, but you wind up on Smith and 9th Street, then you got to get on the R."

Game of Thrones as a Seinfeld Sitcom

The Puerto Rican Day

This controversial episode was both the show's second-to-last episode ever as well as the second-highest-rated episode of all time. Controversy erupted when Kramer accidentally burned and then stomped out a Puerto Rican flag. After the initial airing, NBC decided to never show it again. In fact, TBS only began airing the episode in syndication on October 8, 2012 (14 years later!).

Another notable aspect of this show was that it was filmed in real-time, similar to their earlier, landmark shows, most notably The Chinese Restaurant.

When Will it End?

As much as we love our show, we come to the realization that sooner or later, Seinfeld will no longer be aired in syndication. It's been 13 years since the show ended, and thankfully it's still shown daily on TBS and your local Fox station. But at some point, the show will be removed from our daily TV schedule and officially become a relic of the past. So the question is, when? Let's hope it's later rather than sooner, but we are coming closer and closer as the years go by. And while the show still seems somewhat relevant to modern times, it's becoming less and less so through the years.
