The Shoes - S4-E16

Corrected entry: When Jerry and Elaine are in the coffee shop, a coffee mug can be seen in front of Jerry. When Gail enters, the coffee mug disappears and reappears between shots.

Correction: The coffe cup is Elaine's and it doesn't disappear, you just can't see it from certain camera angles.

Correction: Probably. It wouldn't be out of character for George to steal the magazine.

The Pilot (2) - S4-E24

Corrected entry: Kramer walks into Jerry's apartment to get a Pepsi and tells Jerry that he would get Jerry's watch back (the one that Jerry threw away). Jerry then goes to Kramer's apartment door. When Kramer leaves Jerry's apartment, he has the Pepsi in his right hand. When Jerry tells Kramer that he had thrown away the watch, the Pepsi can is gone.

Correction: There was a promotion being run, for which you had to spot the Pepsi can in particular episodes and send in a postcard pointing out when you saw the Pepsi can.

The Outing - S4-E17

Corrected entry: George's mother says when she was reading about George being gay, she fell off the toilet, and the superintendent had to help her. Well, the Costanzas live in a private house, and thus have no superintendent.

Correction: There's no reason to assume the Costanzas own the house they live in. They could easily be renting it, in which case they WOULD have a superintendent, or similar maintence person/manager etc. that Estelle refers to as a superintendent.

Correction: And how is that a mistake? Models wear makeup too, you know.

This correction seems to be done without watching the scene. And confuses the term "modeling" into thinking Kramer is a model. Kramer went to Calvin Klein to talk to him about the beach perfume, he's not there as a model for a photo shoot. The mistake is valid.

The Contest - S4-E11

Corrected entry: When George tells the story of how his mother caught him, he says his parents were supposed to be at work. But in the hospital, his mother says she's thankful George's father was in Chicago.

Correction: It is entirely possible that George simply didn't know he was in Chicago.

Correction: Susan actually takes the directions to The Bubble Boy's house with her when she leaves Jerry's apartment. We can presume Jerry previously got the directions to the cabin, and left them on his counter.

Correction: I don't remember Russell ever saying he didn't know that Elaine knew Jerry and George. Furthermore what would be the problem if he did? Elaine dated Russell, but she never conned him and it wouldn't have likely changed anything about the situation. As for the character in the show, I don't think they actually referred to the characters by their full name. I believe Elaine's character was just referred to as Elaine.

The Airport - S4-E12

Corrected entry: When Jerry and Elaine are trying to get on the plane, they are told that the plane is full except for two seats, one in first class and one in coach. However, Elaine is later able to find an empty seat in first class, but there were only two openings, when they boarded.

Correction: People will often enough buy a ticket in advance, then not show up. The Computer will still register the seat as sold, and whoever it is might not have called ahead to tell them he couldn't make it.

The Dog - S3-E4

Character mistake: When George and Elaine go to the coffee shop after The Movie without Jerry, they establish that Elaine moved to NYC in 1986. Then they make fun of the way that Jerry throws up; both imitating Jerry. The "Dinner Party" episode is after the "The Dog". In the "Dinner Party" episode, Jerry brags that he hasn't thrown up since June 29th, 1980. The black and white cookie ended this streak. Elaine would not have been around to see this, not arriving in NYC until 1986.

The Suicide - S3-E15

Chosen answer: George does mention his brother in the episode "The Parking Space". They actually really never mention anything that contradicts the fact he had a brother though, it just isn't mentioned.
