Seinfeld/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 48:

** In "The Handicap Spot", Jerry mentions "every big [boxing] fight" in the same breath as the Super Bowl.

** Averted with Puddy's Martin Brodeur jersey in "The Face Painter". Brodeur went on to play for the New Jersey Devils for two more decades after the episode aired.

** In one episode, George wishes that ketchup and mustard would come in squeeze tubes (similar to toothpaste), though Jerry tells him they do come in squeezable bottles now, though George argues he's never seen such.

** Keith Hernandez lights up in a bar in "The Boyfriend". Rather dated now that many states have adopted "no indoor smoking" policies.

*** This became dated ''during'' the show's run, with Kramer setting up a smoking room in his apartment after having to join smokers outside the coffee shop.

** Elaine's subplot in the finale is centered around the idea that it's rude to make important phone calls on your cell phone rather than waiting until you get home. Their use has become much more accepted since.

** In "The Contest", Elaine discovers John Kennedy Jr. goes to her gym and hopes to start dating him. He would die in a plane crash just five years later.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Larry Miller was originally cast as George, but it was decided that, just to make George a little bit more pathetic, he needed to be short. Miller eventually appeared as a [[Diabolical Mastermind|doorman]] that could give [[Scrubs|The Janitor]] a run for his money.

** The project began as just a 90 minute special about a day in Jerry's life, and how it inspires his stand-up material that night. Jerry and Larry David couldn't quite stretch the script to fill the 90 minutes, so they reduced in down to half an hour as a series pilot. As Jerry would later say, "We couldn't make 90 minutes, so we made 90 hours."
