The four of them always went to see the worst movies- "Ponce de Leon", "Prognosis Negative", and that granddaddy of them all- "Rochelle, Rochelle" (a young girl's journey from Milan to Minsk), later made into a Broadway musical, god only knows why, starring Bette Midler.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>After "Death Blow", Jerry was given a second project of "Cry, Cry, Again." After Elaine erased some of it when she recorded her spastic dance, Jerry responded "First you cry, and then when you look at the tape, you cry again."<br /><br />To get back on topic, name all the major leaguers who appeared on the show. I can think of five players plus one manager.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Okay- they are a little tougher now:<br /><br />There is a scene where Jerry and Elaine are in a video store trying to pick out a birthday gift for Elaine's friend (Oppenheimer, Bennett, Taft, something) and they decide perhaps on an adult video. What is the significance of that scene?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Well done! The Louis was Jerry's tribute to Lou Costello, his comic idol. In fact, if you remember the old Abbott and Costello show, where they never worked and lived in a rooming house with Stinky, Hillary Brooke, and Mike the Cop, that show was the model Seinfeld used to develop his show. A & C's landlord was Sidney Fields, who they always owed back rent to; when Jerry, George, and Elaine volunteer to help old people, Jerry's client is Sid Fields, another tribute to the show. If you remember the Stinky character he was fat and evil; well, so is Newman. Seinfeld has spoken often about how that show helped influence his with its timeless humor.

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>So maybe the Trivial Pursuit MOOPS/MOORS thing was similar to the T206 SHAPPE/SHARPE thing? hee<br /><br />Joann

Real or Fake
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Yes, the scene where Jerry wipes his mouth while Elaine cries over the bubble boy reveals perfect comic timing as well as the complete self absorption of the characters. If you want to see a scene where Elaine and Jerry work with flawless timing check out the one where Elaine tells him that the date he set her up with exposed himself ("he took..IT...OUT", as she's cleaning her glasses) It's priceless.<br /><br />Final tidbit of the night: In the early episode "The Revenge" Kramer tells Jerry that Newman is trying to commit suicide, and you can clearly hear Wayne Knight's voice calling from outside the window. Problem is that episode was shot in 1991, and Wayne Knight didn't join the cast until 1992. When it first aired, Larry David did the voice of Newman. But after the show went into syndication, Knight overdubbed the line. I've even heard that Jerry Stiller was not George's original father, that a different actor played him in one episode and then Stiller reshot all his scenes for syndication, but I never saw it and can't confirm it.
