Corrected entry: This mistake is in the episode where George and Susan pick out invitations for their wedding. Elaine comes into Jerry's apartment and says (to George) the wedding is only a month away. Earlier in the day George and Susan pick out their wedding invitations. Who sends out wedding invitations only a month before the wedding?
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.
Corrected entry: In the episode where George is hoping to buy a "discounted suit" there is a scene where he is talking to the foreign shop assistant. In the first shot he has the suit in his hands. The scene switches to the assistant, then back to George and on the second shot the suit is no longer in his hands.
Correction: The shop assistant took it out of his hands.
Corrected entry: In the episode when Jerry looks after Farfel The Dog, George and Elaine are at the coffee shop, when they start making fun of Jerry. George asks Elaine if she's ever seen Jerry throw up, and she starts acting like she has seen him throw up. But she could not possibly have seen Jerry throw up because the last he did was June 29th 1980, years before Elaine and Jerry ever met.
Correction: It was mentioned in a later episode that Jerry threw up ten years later on June 29.
In what episode does it ever mention he threw up 10 years later on June 29, 1990? In "The Masseuse" he mentions not throwing up since June 29, 1980 and he remembers the date because the previous time was June 29, 1972. The mistake is valid.
Corrected entry: The directions that Kramer finds to the cabin were actually the directions to The Bubble Boy's house, but he still ends up at the cabin.
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.
Corrected entry: When Kramer is asked about urinating in the shower, he replies "I take baths." But in the episode with the low-flow shower heads, Kramer is disgusted by taking a bath, saying he was "lying in a tepid pool of my own filth."
Correction: As Kramer is so different and constantly doing weird things, it is not too hard to believe that in one episode he takes baths and another one he is reviled by them and has changed to showers. That is the nature of his character, to be indecisive and strange.
The Frogger - S9-E18
Corrected entry: The Frogger Machine would have had to be, at some point, completely unpowered while switching it from the outlet to the battery.
Correction: No it wouldn't. As long as you connect some form of power to the machine's electrical source it could run on a battery. Think of appliances like iPods, alarm clocks, and hand-held video games. They can run on electricity directly but unplug them from an electrical point and they just switch to battery power if available.
Corrected entry: After Jerry talks to Joel for the first time on the phone, George asks "who is this guy?" I'm sure that if George and Jerry had grown up together and have been close friends for so long, he would have, at some point in time, heard about him, or even met him. Especially if he keeps calling Jerry and trying to create a friendship.
Correction: Jerry is a stand-up comedian, and has met lots of people on the road at various comedy clubs, many of whom would have had no reason to have ever met George, so this mistake is not valid, as it is a guess, not fact.
Met no, but the mistake references the fact that George never -heard- of him before. If he's been 'stalking' Jerry with calls forever to the point that Jerry is even afraid of answering the phone, it's practically impossible that George never heard of him. An annoying person like this is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect them to talk about in their endless chatters about nothing.
Corrected entry: Russell doesn't know that Elaine knows Jerry and George. This is apparent when Russell tells her about a pilot with a "new young talent, Jerry Seinfeld." So why doesn't he figure it out when there is a character named Elaine Benes in Jerry's show?
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.
Corrected entry: Elaine says that she's a vegetarian while confronting a woman about her fur coat. In a previous episode, she says she wants to go to Skyburger and in a later episode, she eats a piece of meat Kramer gives her.
Correction: So Elaine lied about being a vegetarian. It wouldn't be the only time she lied about something.
Corrected entry: Elaine tells Mr. Lipman about her muffin tops idea, then the next day he has opened a store to sell them. How in the world did he set up a store in just a day?
Correction: He bought out or became a partner in a pre-existing muffin store.
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.
Corrected entry: Puddy says he was raised in New Jersey, and has been a Devils fan "since I was a kid." The Devils didn't move to New Jersey from Colorado until 1982, when Puddy would have already been a young adult.
Correction: That doesn't mean he wasn't a fan while they were in Colorado. I know lots of kids who like other cities' teams; it doesn't matter where you grow up.
The Devils were known as the Colorado Rockies during their time in Denver, which only runs back to 1976 anyway. It would be extremely unlikely for Puddy to have been a fan of a team in Denver in the late 70s in New Jersey.
Corrected entry: Elaine gives the stationary store salesman her telephone number as KL5-2390. The Seinfeld show was set during the 1990s, and the USA stopped using alphanumeric telephone numbers in the 1950s and 1960s. (00:01:33)
Correction: Apparently, they do.
