Seinfeld Episode Guide Pilot Summer 1989 (series is titled The Seinfeld Chronicles) "Good News, Bad News" gs: Lee Garlington [ Claire ], Pamela Brull [ Laura ] A girl Jerry met on the road wants to stay with him when she comes to New York. George thinks that she is just using Jerry as contingency plan. Hoffman (Kramer) comes by to borrow a couple of pieces of meat. The girl calls and asks Jerry if she can stay at his apartment for the night, when she arrives she asks to stay for another night. Jerry is disappointed when everything is going his way until he finds out she is engaged. b: 5 Jul 89 pc: 101 w: Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld d: Art Wolff NOTE: In this episode, Jerry refers to Kramer as Kessler, because we later learn in "The Betrayal" this was the name on the buzzer for Kramer's apartment. This also discounts the fact that Kramer has sublet the apartment from Paul Buchman from Mad About You in an episode of that series that aired after "The Virgin." I suppose that Buchman could have sublet the apartment to someone named Kessler before Kramer had moved in. As strange as Kramer can be, perhaps he thought it best to not let anyone know he lived there and never changed the name. In the TV Guide entry for this episode, his character is credited as Hoffman. I assume that this is the way it appeared in the script somewhere along the way. There were probably a number of name changes for this character, while Kenny Kramer was deciding whether or not his name could be used. 1st Season Spring 1990 (series is re-titled Seinfeld) "The Stakeout" gs: Lynn Clark [ Vanessa ], Phil Bruns [ Morty Seinfeld ], Maud Winchester [ Pamela ], William Fair [ Roger ], Ron Steelman [ Artie Levine ], Joe George [ Uncle Mac ], Ellen Gerstein [ Carol ], Janet Rotblatt [ Woman ] rc: Helen Elaine brings Jerry to a birthday party where he meets a woman who fascinates him.

This is unlike George's dad, who was played by one actor, replaced by Jerry Stiller, and footage was re-shot with Jerry taking over the original dad's part in "The Handicap Spot". Viewer Mike Greenhaus reminds me that this is the first episode that George uses the name Art Vandelay. The name of Vandelay would be used again in "The Boyfriend" and many other episodes. Another viewer, Jeremy DeMai, also notes that George first mentions his fetish for wanting to be an architect. Viewer Ross Raniere remembers that when this episode was rerun on NBC, Jerry and Julia come on in a bumper before the show started. Jerry mentions how many episodes they've done so far, with Julia sitting next to him on the set's couch. He then said, "And this is the very first one we did." Jerry then says something about "the chemistry" and just as the bumper was about to fade, he and Julia embraced each other as if they were going to kiss. This of course was the first episode that Jerry and Julia had done together. Jerry discounted the Seinfeld Chronicles episode. "The Robbery" gs: Anita Wise [ Waitress ], James F. Dean [ Larry ], Kimberley Kates [ Diane ], Bradford English [ Cop ], David Blackwood [ Man #1 ], George Simms [ Man #2 ] While out of town Jerry's apartment gets robbed (Kramer left the door open); so he considers moving.

Although he wants to break it off with her, she has this "psycho-sexual" hold over him and he becomes worried about what George might think if he lets this relationship develop. Elaine confronts the guy in her building and Jerry's relationship maybe in jeopardy when his girlfriend sees his act. b: 23 Jan 91 pc: 201 w: Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld d: Tom Cherones NOTE: A glitch was just recently pointed out to me by Eric Wilks. I had listed the original air date for this episode as 16 Jan. Well, every network's programming that evening was preempted for the start of something called "The Gulf War." Gee was it that long ago? Anyhow, the first episode of the season was delayed and shown a week later. Kyle Westphal notes that George wants his books back, only later we now that George will do anything not to read. Such as in "The Couch". He mentions that Books on Tape have spoiled him "The Fatigues". Perhaps he will changes his ways when he says he'll read a book cover to cover in "The Summer of George". I doubt it. "The Pony Remark" gs: Rozsika Halmos [ Manya ], David Fresco [ Isaac ], Scott N. Stevens [ Intern ], Earl Boen [ Eulogist ] rc: Helen, Morty, Uncle Leo Jerry's parents come to town for a 50th anniversary party.

Jerry and George are back in New York and Kramer turns up like nothings changed. b: 19 Aug 92 pc: 402 w: Larry Charles d: Tom Cherones NOTE: The remaining episodes in this season have a loose, but interconnecting thread, and should be viewed in order. Of course when syndicated the episodes are shown in anything but a logical order. Marty Rackham will reappear as Elaine's exclamation point avoiding boyfriend, Jake Jarmel, in "The Sniffing Accountant". He will return as Jake in two more episodes. Viewer Jeff Holland notes that the hotel the Kramer stays in, is the same one that Julia Roberts stays at in Pretty Woman.

Joe, a big fan of Pagliacci, comes to the opera in clown garb; Elaine and Jerry attend together not realizing their different estranged relationships with Joe. b: 4 Nov 92 pc: 409 w: Larry Charles d: Tom Cherones NOTE: Bill Saluga is best remembered for a character he played in Vegas and on variety television. That character was Raymond J. Johnson Jr.. "Oh you don't have to call me Johnson. Now my name is Raymond J. Johnson Jr. You can call me Ray or you can call me...". You get the idea!

It starred Paul Reiser & Helen Hunt. In the episode called "The Apartment," Reiser must get rid of his old apartment, that it seems Kramer has been subletting from him. However, in the first episode of the seventh season, George and Susan are seen watching and commenting on an episode of Mad About You. See also the NOTE associated with "Good News, Bad News." "The Contest" gs: Jane Leeves [ Marla ], Ilana Levine [ Joyce ], Rachel Sweet [ Shelly ], Andrea Parker [ Nurse ] rc: Estelle George's mother throws her back out when she falls down after catching him doing "you know." When George says he'll never do it again, Jerry challenges him to a contest of self-denial, when he accepts, Elaine and Kramer want in on the action, or rather the lack of it. b: 18 Nov 92 pc: 411 w: Larry David d: Tom Cherones NOTE: Tom Cherones won the Director's Guild of America Award for this episode. This episode was based on a real contest that Larry David participated in. "The Airport" gs: Jennifer Campbell [ Tia ], Scott Burkholder [ Prisoner ], Jim J. Bullock [ Attendant #1 ], Allan Wasserman [ Grossbard ], Lenny Rose [ Passenger #1 ], Karen Denise Williams [ Attendant #2 ], Annie Korzen [ Passenger #2 ], Deck McKenzie [ Security Guard ], Maggie Egan [ Ticket Clerk ], Mark Christopher Lawrence [ Sky Cap ], Jack Graiman [ Cop ], William Evan Masters [ Driver ] When their flight home gets canceled, Jerry & Elaine gets on another flight, the latter gets cramped into coach and Jerry parties in 1st class with a model.

Thanks to Greg Gattuso for this tidbit. Greg is author of The Seinfeld Universe. Viewer Paul Brackett, who must work in the airline industry, notes the following: "They were flying from St. Louis to JFK, then to LGA. Only TWA flys these routes non-stop. They showed 2 ground shots of the aircraft, and both of the ground shots were of a Southwest airlines Boeing 737. Then they showed the plane in flight a couple of times, both shots were of a McDonnell Douglas DC-9. Then they showed the interior of the coach section, in which the colors of the seats and the configuration resembled the interior of a Delta coach plane, with 3-3 seating. Both the 737 and the DC-9 are 3-2 seating. Then they showed the interior of the first class section, which looked like the interior of a Continental DC-10 First class section, based on seating arrangements and color of the seats. One would think that folks in the TV industry would fly enough to notice these things!" A St. Louis based viewer, Randy Canis notes that Jerry and Elaine are not at the real Lambert Field. I wouldn't expect them to be, that would be too expensive to film and only viewers familiar with the airport would ever notice. "The Pick" gs: Jennifer Campbell [ Tia ], Gina Hecht [ Dana Foley ], Nicholas Hormann [ Calvin ], Tony Carlin [ Fred ], Francois Giroday [ Male Executive ], Blaire Baron [ Female Executive ], Steve Schubert [ Man in Office ] rc: Susan, Newman Elaine is humiliated when she accidentally shows a bit too much on her Christmas card photo, that she has sent out to everyone she knows.

Jerry misses his first show, then goes to movie theater to tell everyone he won't make the movie, but no one is there. Through a comedy of errors, everyone (but Kramer) misses the movie, they were originally going to see. b: 6 Jan 93 pc: 415 w: Steve Skrovan & Bill Masters & Jon Hayman d: Tom Cherones NOTE: According to viewer Jim Gilhooly, writer Steve Skrovan appears in an uncredited cameo as the man with the white hat that sits next to Elaine at the movie. "The Visa" gs: Brian George [ Babu Bhatt ], Maggie Han [ Cheryl ], Ping Wu [ Ping ], John Hamelin [ Babu's Brother ], Gerry Bednob [ Babu's Friend ] George meets a Chinese female lawyer who thinks he is real funny; so he tells Jerry not to be funny around her, but she becomes attracted to this.

George is caught staring at the cleavage of the daughter of the NBC executive who is approving their script. Elaine's cleavage provides a means to turn the tables on him. b: 4 Feb 93 pc: 417 w: Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld d: Tom Cherones NOTE: Viewer Jeff Holland notes that it took Jerry and George a while to get around to adding a female to their pilot, just like it took Jerry and Larry to do. "The Outing" gs: Paula Marshall [ Sharon ], Kari Coleman [ Allison ], Anthony Mangano [ Sailor ], Ben Reed [ Male Nurse ], Lawrence A. Mandley [ Manager ], Charley Garrett [ Man #1 ], Deck McKenzie [ Scott ], David Gibbs [ Man #2 ] rc: Helen, Morty, Estelle No thanks to Elaine, Jerry must work hard to prove he is straight when a college reporter mistakenly reports that he and George are gay, "not that there is anything wrong with that." Things really get out of hand when the article is picked up by the New York Post. b: 11 Feb 93 pc: 416 w: Larry Charles d: Tom Cherones NOTE: Viewer Jerry Balsam notes in this episode that Estelle claims to have been helped up by the super; however, we all know that the Costanzas live in a house in Queens.

Kramer and Newman try the business of selling old records to a used record store. Jerry loses track of his man when they try to take him to the dentist to repair his dentures, after the man had bitten Kramer's arm. b: 18 Feb 93 pc: 418 w: Bruce Kirschbaum s: Larry Charles d: Tom Cherones NOTE: Viewer Eric Scheffel notes that old man's name is Sid Fields. This was the name of the landlord on the The Abbott & Costello Show. Which of featured Jerry's two favorite comedians, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello. In fact on 24 Nov 94, instead of an episode of Seinfeld being on, Jerry hosted a one hour special about the duo. The special was called Abbott & Costello Meet Jerry Seinfeld. Viewer Gerry Myerson notes that the other old man was named Ben Cantwell. Baseball trivia buffs recognize this as the name of a pitcher for the Boston Braves, who lost 25 games in 1935. No one has lost that many games in a season since then. "The Implant" gs: Teri Hatcher [ Sidra ], Megan Mullally [ Betsy ], Carol Rosenthal [ Ticket Clerk #1 ], Donald Bishop [ Dr. Allenwood ], Tony Amendola [ Sal Bass (Rushdie) ], Kieran Mulroney [ Timmy ], Peggy Stewart [ Aunt May ], Bruce E.

Could it be "Mulva"? Elaine visits an old boyfriend who's in the hospital for an operation; he was once fat, thin she's interested again. Kramer gets an opportunity to witness the operation and he drags Jerry along, while watching they have an accident with a "Junior Mint." b: 18 Mar 93 pc: 421 w: Andy Robin d: Tom Cherones NOTE: Her name is... I can't tell you everything! However, if you must know, see "The Foundation," where she returns assuming that Jerry has grown up. This episode sparked a lawsuit from an employee of a company located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. The employee claims that this company allegedly used the following incident as an excuse to fire him. He discussed this episode with a female co-worker. She didn't get the joke. So he provided a photocopy of a dictionary definition of the body part in question so he wouldn't have to say it. As a follow-up to this story, the guy won his case, though the company plans to appeal. "The Smelly Car" gs: Michael Des Barres [ Restaurateur ], Nick Bakay [ Carl ], Kari Coleman [ Allison ], Taylor Negron [ Hairdresser ], Courtney Gains [ Clerk ], Raf Mauro [ Car Washer ], Viveka Davis [ Mona ], Robert Noble [ Salesman ], Patricia Place [ Wife ], Walt Beaver [ Husband ] rc: Susan The strong body odor of a valet is left in Jerry's car. George can't believe it when he spots Susan holding hands with another woman. Elaine loses her current boyfriend and Jerry is forced to try to sell the car, because the odor has taken a life of its own and permeated everything. George is turned by Susan's new outlook on life. Susan's friend is swayed to heterosexuality by Kramer, though later turned back off by a whiff of a jacket that Kramer borrowed from Jerry. When the car can't be sold, Jerry winds up leaving it and the keys out on the street. b: 15 Apr 93 pc: 422 w: Larry David & Peter Mehlman d: Tom Cherones "The Handicap Spot" gs: John Randolph [ Frank Costanza (see NOTE) ], Richard Portnow [ Ray ], Rick Overton [ The Drake ], Nancy Lenehan [ Volunteer ], Elizabeth Dennehy [ Allison ], Kathy Kinney [ Bystander ], Fritzi Burr [ Maj-Jongg Lady #1 ], Norma Janis [ Maj-Jongg Lady #2 ], Ina Parker [ Maj-Jongg Lady #3 ], Marvin Braverman [ Cop ], David Blackwood [ Security Guard ], Eric Fleeks [ Kicker ], Donna Evans [ Lula ] rc: Estelle, Frank (U.S. syndicated rerun only) Going out to buy an engagement party present for "The Drake," George parks his father's car in a handicap parking spot, after taking Kramer's advice. An angry mob trashes the vehicle when a disabled woman gets injured, because of the illegal parking. While visiting the woman at the hospital, Kramer falls in love and feels compelled to replace the wheelchair. George becomes his father's butler after his father gets arrested for parking in the spot. b: 13 May 93 pc: 420 w: Larry David d: Tom Cherones NOTE: The U.S. syndicated version of this episode features Jerry Stiller in the role of Frank Costanza. Viewers overseas, still see John Randolph in the role. The sequences were re-shot in the spring of 1995. A role he didn't formally start until the next season in "The Puffy Shirt". I've been typed that the John Randolph version is still being seen overseas. Viewer Jerry Balsam notes that in this episode, Kramer was referred to as a "hipster doofus," which is an inside joke Larry David wrote in response to a review of the series by Francis Davis that appeared in the December 1992 issue of The Atlantic Monthly. In the review, Davis describes one of the characters as "Jerry's across-the-hall neighbor, a hipster doofus known simply as Kramer." Viewer Ross Raniere seems to remember some controversy surrounding this episode before it was first aired. There was some backlash and offense taken at the plot. It was written in an article that it may not be aired. Given the production code of the episode, I would suggest that the airing of the episode was delayed and perhaps some of the content adjusted to appease the critics. Anyone have any details? "The Pilot (1)" gs: Anne Twomey [ Rita ], Gina Hecht [ Dana Foley ], Jeremy Piven [ Michael Barth (TV George) ], Larry Hankin [ Tom Pepper (TV Kramer) ], Kevin Page [ Stu ], Mariska Hargitay [ Melissa ], Laura Waterbury [ Casting Director ], Elena Wohl [ Sandi Robbins (TV Elaine) ], Bruce Jarchow [ Doctor ], Al Ruscio [ Manager ], Richard Gant [ Fred ], Peter Blood [ Jay ], Roger Rose [ Mark ], Samantha Dorman [ Waitress ], Erick Avari [ Cabbie ], Bob Shaw [ Paul ], Stephen Burrows [ David ] rc: Russell, "Crazy" Joe Jerry and George get the green light to produce Jerry, the pilot for the series based on their "nothing" lives. Russell Dalrimple, the president at NBC behind the pilot, is obsessed with Elaine. George is obsessed with a white spot on his lip and a box of raisins taken by actor playing Kramer. The real Kramer has an internal plumbing problem and on his way to fix it, he gets delayed and is caused to "miss his chance." Jerry has an audition with the new "Elaine," a method actress interested in being Elaine in every way. The real Elaine has a problem with the coffee shop, they appear to be only hiring buxom waitresses, so she tries to get hired and files a report. b: 20 May 93 pc: 423 w: Larry David d: Tom Cherones NOTE: Originally broadcast as part of a 60 min episode.

Elaine gets an investigation started on the owner of the diner. George gets the results of the biopsy of his white spot. At the taping of the pilot, Elaine sneaks in disguised and "Crazy" Joe jumps out of the audience. Elaine finds Morty's wallet in Jerry's couch. Everyone from the past season comments on the pilot as it's broadcast, they all think it's great. When Russell disappears, the fate of the pilot is in the hands of the new president, a person convinced that Jerry can't act. b: 20 May 93 pc: 424 w: Larry David d: Tom Cherones NOTE: Originally broadcast as part of a 60 min episode. The major characters from the past season who comment on the pilot were not credited for this episode; however, we know who most of them were, so they've been included with this episode. 5th Season 1993 "The Mango" gs: Lisa Edelstein [ Karen ], Leonard Termo [ Joe ], Veralyn Jones [ Renee ] George tells Jerry about his lack of confidence below "the equator." Jerry begs Elaine for another chance when he finds out she faked her orgasms. Kramer gets banned from his favorite fruit shop. b: 16 Sep 93 pc: 501 w: Lawrence H. Levy & Buck Dancer s: Lawrence H. Levy d: Tom Cherones NOTE: The co-writing credit for the teleplay that was credited to Buck Dancer, is changed to Larry David in the syndicated reruns. Larry must have decided to use a pseudonym for the original broadcast. Buck is also the first name George would use if he was a porn star, the full name being Buck Naked.

However, in "The Ex-Girlfriend", George says that Marlene squeezed an "I love you" return from him. Perhaps he was in denial. Finally, Josh Tomel notes that 36-year-old Puddy would have been 20 years old when the Devils moved to New Jersey in 1982 from Colorado.
