Mistakes
This mistake is in the Calzone episode. Towards the end when George walks in and his boss is looking around for the smell of calzones, George is holding a bag in his hand. In the next shot that shows the back of the boss's head the bag is now on top of a box that George is carrying. When it goes back to a close up the bag is in his hand again. See more...

Across whole show
No matter who the characters in Seinfeld call, they never have to look up the phone number in the phone book. They have the phone numbers to every restaurant, hotel, and business memorised.
Christa Miller, (Kate on The Drew Carey Show and Jordan on Scrubs) guest starred in two different roles on Seinfeld. First, she was Ellen in the episode, "The Sniffing Accountant", in '93 and later Paula, in the episode, "The Doodle" in '95.
The voice of George Steinbrenner on the show is co-creator Larry David.
Jason Alexander was always fitted with an outfit that was one size too small. This was done to make George look "uncool." On the flip side of the coin, Michael Richards was always fitted with an outfit that was one size too big, to make Kramer appear loose and lanky.
In 2001, NBC offered Jerry Seinfeld $5 million per episode for another season. Seinfeld declined.
In most episodes of Seinfeld there is a Superman reference somewhere.
Frank Costanza's distinctive way of talking was actually the result of Jerry Stiller constantly forgetting his lines.
Lauren Bowles, who guest starred in several episodes as a waitress at Monk's, is Julia Louis-Dreyfus' half-sister.
The Robbery (series 1)
Michael Richards invented his patented Kramer entrance in this episode on accident. He missed his cue and thought he would make up for lost time.
The Chinese Restaurant (series 2)
After Elaine approaches the table and asks for the egg-roll, the customers begin talking amongst themselves. One of the voices belongs to co-creator Larry David, though he wasn't actually sitting at the table.
The Heart Attack (series 2)
Larry David, creator of Seinfeld, is the B-movie actor who yells something Jerry writes down, but later he can't read his own writing.
The Revenge (series 2)
The voice of the unseen Newman was originally co-creator Larry David, but for American syndication, Wayne Knight's voice was dubbed in.
The idea of George returning to work and pretending he didn't really quit was based on a real-life incident. Before co-creating "Seinfeld", Larry David once yelled at a "Saturday Night Live" producer and stormed off the set (he was a sketch writer), only to return the following Monday and act as if it never happened. He actually got away with it.
The Good Samaritan (series 3)
Helen Slater (Jerry's interest in this episode) played the lead in the movie Supergirl. Jerry is a huge Superman fan.
The Alternate Side (series 3)
The voice of the car thief who Jerry talks to on the phone is co-creator Larry David.
The Parking Garage (series 3)
The Parking Garage was originally written to end with Kramer driving around the mall, but the actual car wouldn't start, so they went with that ending.
In this episode, Kramer was supposedly carrying an air conditioner in an awkward-shaped box. To make it more realistic, actor Michael Richards actually did carry around an air conditioner for the entire episode.
Not only was Michael Richards carrying an air conditioner the entire episode, he cut his lip on it as he was putting it into the trunk of the car.
The Library (series 3)
Marian the librarian gets her name from the famous play/movie The Music Man, which includes a song called "Marian the Librarian".
The Dog (series 3)
The man whose dog Jerry is stuck watching is named after Larry David's manager, Gavin Palone. (Palone is also one of the executive producers of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
