Seinfeld

Trivia: 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.

Suggested correction: This is a myth and not true. Even if you count seeing the Superman fridge magnet or Superman statue as a reference, they didn't appear until season 4 and 5.

Season one had a few and one of them is episode 15 The Stock Tip. To quote George: "I never heard him say anything really funny." Jerry: "It's common sense. He's got super strength, super-speed; I'm sure he's got super-humor." "Either you're born with a sense of humor or you're not. It's not going to change. Even if you go from the red sun of Krypton all the way to the yellow sun of the Earth."

That wasn't the point of my correction. The trivia is wrong because not EVERY episode has a reference. I didn't say no episode prior to season 4 or 5 had a Superman reference. I only said the magnet and statue didn't appear until season 4 and 5, so even if you want to count those objects as a Superman reference, it doesn't apply to season 1-3.

Trivia: 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.

Trivia: In 2001, NBC offered Jerry Seinfeld $5 million per episode for another season. Seinfeld declined.

Trivia: Frank Costanza's distinctive way of talking was actually the result of Jerry Stiller constantly forgetting his lines.

Trivia: Ruth Cohen, who plays the Monk's Café cashier, appears in 101 of the 180 Seinfeld episodes, more episodes than any character outside of the four main cast members. She is not speaking in most of these appearances, however.

Trivia: Both Larry David and Michael Richards got their start on the sketch show "Fridays." David was both a writer and performer, where Richards was mainly just a performer. Incidentally, some of the writers Larry David worked with were Tom Kramer, Elaine Pope, and Matt Neuman.

The Hot Tub - S7-E5

Plot hole: When Elaine is searching for Jean Paul in the streets, one of her verbal flashbacks is of Jean Paul saying, "I trust Elaine, she is my friend." However, Jean Paul made this remark to Jerry, and Elaine was not there to hear it. How could she have a flashback of it?
