Trivia: Jason Alexander almost left the show because his character, George, did not appear in the episode "The Pen." He would rather concentrate on theatre instead of only appearing in "Seinfeld" some of the time. Later, he admitted that he was concerned about Elaine becoming a more prominent character than George.
Trivia: Instead of this episode, there was supposed to be an episode in which Elaine buys a gun. The script involved her pointing the gun at her head and joking about "the Kennedy" or "the McKinley," referring to the US presidents who were assassinated. Julia Louis-Dreyfus refused to do the scene, others had major reservations, and the table read was cancelled after 20 minutes.
Trivia: The Voice of George Steinbrenner on the show is co-creator Larry David.
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.
The Robbery - S1-E2
Trivia: 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.
Trivia: In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman reference somewhere.
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: 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.
Trivia: Helen Slater (Jerry's interest in this episode) played the lead in The Movie Supergirl. Jerry is a huge Superman fan.
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.
The Masseuse - S5-E9
Trivia: One of the subplots concerned Elaine's new boyfriend, "Joel Rifkin". Within the episode, Elaine wanted her boyfriend to change his name because he shared the same name as the serial killer named Joel Rifkin who had been arrested June '93. She has a conversation with her boyfriend, Joel, and suggests he change his name to the less scary Dion, Ned, Remy and then O.J. The show aired in November, 1993, seven months before football Hall of Famer O.J. Simpson would be tried for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
Trivia: 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.
Trivia: 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 Pool Guy - S7-E8
Trivia: When Jerry, Elaine, and Susan are at The Movie "Chunnel", Susan is annoyed while Jerry and Elaine are talking during The Movie. Listen to The Movie dialogue in the background of the scene. The Voice which yells "Everyone out of the chunnel!" is that of co-creator Larry David.
Trivia: 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 Library - S3-E5
Trivia: Marian the librarian gets her name from the famous play/movie The Music Man, which includes a song called "Marian the Librarian".
Trivia: In 2001, NBC offered Jerry Seinfeld $5 million per episode for another season. Seinfeld declined.
Trivia: Co-creator Larry David can be heard as the bystander on the beach who calls out "Is anyone here a Marine Biologist?"
