A Page About Nothing - The Lists

Over the run of "Seinfeld" - some nine seasons - there have been many recurring themes and frequently-used devices. For my reference - and yours - I have been compiling an admittedly rudimentary set of lists of some of those items. Please be aware that unless otherwise noted each list should be considered to be incomplete.

Movies, TV shows, and theatrical productions - real or fictitious - which were mentioned on "Seinfeld" (I don't consider subtle references to movies, such as the one to "Marathon Man" - or was it "The Boys from Brazil"? - in "The Doorman."):

Episode	Movie/TV Show	Comments
"The Stakeout"	"Cocoon II: The Return"	Jerry and Elaine, in a video rental shop trying to decide which movie to watch, make some clever comments about this film.
"The Robbery"	"The Bold And The Beautiful"
"The Phone Message"	"I Love Lucy"	Jerry mentions to his girlfriend, Donna, that he has never seen a single episode of "I Love Lucy."
"The Statue"	"Dragnet"
"The Deal"	"The Helsinki Formula"	As Elaine is flipping through the channels on Jerry's TV, she passes by the one on which an infomercial for this product, starring Robert Vaughn, is airing. (Thanks to a correspondent, Chip Beck, for straightening me out about this one. I thought that this was a fictitious movie.)
"The Baby Shower"	"Hair"
	"Doctor Zhivago"	At the end of this episode Kramer invites Jerry, still a non-cable guy, over to his apartment to watch this movie on cable TV.
"The Chinese Restaurant"	"Plan 9 From Outer Space"
"The Pen"	"Golden Girls"
"The Dog"	"Prognosis Negative"	This is the movie of choice for Jerry, George, and Elaine. After much dickering, Jerry and George wind up seeing it without Elaine, behind her back while she watches the dog of the sick airline passenger which was entrusted to Jerry.
	"Ponce DeLeon"	If Jerry, George, and Elaine can't all see "Prognosis Negative" together, then this one is the alternative.
"The Stranded"	Ken Burns' "Civil War"	Waiting for Kramer to pick him and Elaine up from the Long Island party at which George left them stranded, Jerry notices that the host has the companion book to this documentary, and he and Elaine make some inane small-talk about the tragedy of the Civil War.
"The Red Dot"	"Cape Fear"
"The Boyfriend"	"JFK"	After their first "date," Jerry and Keith Hernandez make plans for a second meeting - to see "JFK."
"The Good Samaritan"	"Entertainment Tonight"

	"Gomer Pyle"
	"Murphy Brown"
"The Trip"	"Murphy Brown"
	"Carnal Knowledge"
	"L.A. Law"
	"Cheers"
	"Sappy Pappies"	Supposedly, according to an aging - actually, aged - ingenue, Helena, this was a Three Stooges short in which she acted. She insists to Kramer that she played Mr. Sugarman's secretary.
"The Pitch"	"La Cocina"
"The Watch"	"Major Dad"
	"Blossom"
"The Bubble Boy"	"Holocaust"
	"The Tonight Show"
"The Virgin"	"The Bold and the Beautiful"
	"Havana"
	"Oprah"

"The Movie"	"Rochelle, Rochelle"
	"Checkmate"
	"Ponce DeLeon"
"The Junior Mint"	"Home Alone"
	"Home Alone 2"
	"20/20"
"The Smelly Car"	"Rochelle, Rochelle"	George is in a video rental shop returning "Rochelle, Rochelle" ("A young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk") when he bumps into his ex-girlfriend, Susan. In his outrage at being charged an extra $2 for not rewinding the tape, he takes Kramer's advice - keeping it another day, with the intention of rewinding it and bringing it back the next day. Unfortunately, the tape gets stolen from the dashboard of Jerry's smelly car while they are dickering with a restaurateur, and George is billed $98 by the video rental shop - $35 of which he borrows from Susan.
"The Pilot"	"Jerry"
	"Shaft"
"The Puffy Shirt"	"The Today Show"	Jerry appears on this show with Bryant Gumbel, wearing the puffy shirt.
"The Bris"	"The Godfather"
"The Barber"	"Edward Scissorhands"	This film is mentioned throughout this episode. Kramer's barber, Gino, gushes about how great it is, but Jerry's barber, Enzo, is unmoved. "Did you ever think about what you're going to do on the toilet? What are you going to do on the toilet?" he rants. Newman uses is as part of his ruse to get into Jerry's apartment and get a sample of Jerry's hair for Enzo. Jerry - for his part - is confused. On the one hand, he believes that the title character is "a hell of a barber." However, he questions Gino, "What is he supposed to be, like a superhero, like Green Lantern or somebody?"
"The Cigar Store Indian"	"I Love Lucy" "The Lucy Show" "Here's Lucy"	As Ricky points out to Elaine while thumbing through her TV Guide - actually Frank Costanza's periodical - on a particular Tuesday one could have watched six hours of Lucy among reruns of these three programs.
"The Stand-In"	"All My Children"	Kramer and Mickey are stand-ins for actors on "All My Children" - Mickey is a stand-in for an eight-year-old boy, and Kramer stands in for the kid's father.
"The Raincoats"	"Schindler's List"	Jerry, not having been intimate with his girlfriend Rachel in quite some time, winds up making out with her at a showing of this film. Unfortunately for him, his arch-nemesis, Newman, is sitting several rows behind them. He witnesses the whole shameful display of affection, and relays this information to Jerry's mom.
"The Opposite"	"Regis and Kathie Lee"	More properly known as "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee"
	"Sonia Live"
"The Pledge Drive"	Ken Burns' "Baseball"	Jerry uses the fact that local PBS station Channel 13 (WNET) will be broadcasting this series during the pledge drive which he will be hosting in order to get George to line up a big-league ballplayer - then-Yankee Danny Tartabull - for an on-air appearance with him.
"The Couch"	"Breakfast At Tiffany's"	George joins a book club, but can't handle the reading of Truman Capote's "Breakfast At Tiffany's." So he schemes to watch a video of the film. Unfortunately, the only copy of that tape is checked out. (Couldn't he just have gone to another video store?) He tracks down the renter and sits in with his family as they watch it - causing havoc in the process.
"The Mom & Pop Store"	"Deliverance"
	"Midnight Cowboy"
	"Runaway Train"
"The Beard"	"Melrose Place"
"The Doorman"	"The Crying Game"	George comments to Jerry about how the sight of his father's large breasts caused him great mental anguish. "It was like my own personal 'Crying Game.'" he laments.
"The Understudy"	"Beaches"
	"Rochelle, Rochelle"
"The Engagement"	"Firestorm"	Jerry and George plan to see this movie, but George's fiancée, Susan, really doesn't want to see it. So Jerry goes without him.
	"The Muted Heart"	Instead of "Firestorm," Susan wants to see "The Muted Heart" - featuring Glenn Close and Sally Field. Presumably, this is a "chick flick," whereas "Firestorm" is a shoot-em-up action pic.
	"Mad About You"	George and Susan watch this show at two points in this episode.
"The Postponement"	"Plan 9 From Outer Space"	Jerry and Kramer go to a theater to see this film - the one which Jerry, George, and Elaine were to see five years previously in "The Chinese Restaurant." Kramer defiantly enters with a café latte tucked into the waistband of his pants. However, the jig - a bad jig, a terrible, terrible jig - is up when the beverage spills as he's taking his seat, and it scalds him. An usher ejects him, leading to the first appearance of lawyer Jackie Chiles.
"The Maestro"	"Amadeus"
"The Soup Nazi"	"Scent of a Woman"	While placing her soup order, Elaine comments to the "Soup Nazi" that he looks exactly like Al Pacino. "You know ... 'Scent Of A Woman.'" She follows this with several "hoo-hahs" and promptly gets herself banned from the establishment for a year.
"The Secret Code"	"Midnight Express"
"The Pool Guy"	"Firestorm"
	"Mountain High"
	"Chow Fun"
	"Chunnel"
	"Agent Zero"
	"Brown-Eyed Girl"
"The Gum"	"Spartacus"	Kramer is involved in the restoration of an old moviehouse, the Alex Theatre, whose inaugural presentation is a rare archival print of this classic film.
"The Rye"	"Firestorm"
"The Cadillac"	"Chunnel"	As he makes a hasty departure in a taxi, Kramer shouts to the cable repairman, "'Chunnel's' on HBO tonight. Why don't you stop by?"
	"My Cousin Vinny"
	"Only You"
"The Calzone"	"Star Wars"	A male acquaintance of Elaine, Todd Gack, bets her that Dustin Hoffman was in "Star Wars," and winds up having to take her to dinner. She is convinced by Jerry that he purposely made a bet he knew he was going to lose rather than ask her out so he wouldn't get rejected - one of several dating loopholes.
	"Means To An End"	This show - presumably a hit movie - is sold out, but Jerry's girlfriend, Nicki, uses her persuasiveness to get the management to somehow find them two tickets.
	"Blame It On The Rain"	Elaine and Todd wind up seeing this movie - evidently a dud - instead of their first choice, the sold-out "Means To An End."
"The Foundation"	"Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"
	"Star Trek III: The Search for Spock"
"The Little Kicks"	"Death Blow"	Jerry, Kramer, and Kramer's friend Brody go to a premiere of this film, during which Brody proceeds to videotape the movie for bootleg purposes. He falls ill, and persuades a reluctant Jerry to finish the taping in his absence - and impressing Brody with its quality.
	"Cry, Cry Again"	This is a French "art" film, of which Kramer's friend Brody expects Jerry to make a bootleg videotape. Instead, Kramer does the work. Seeing the poor quality of Kramer's effort, Jerry doesn't want to be associated with it. However, in full director fashion, he demands a reshoot and insists upon total control over the taping - including three cameras. That plan doesn't materialize, so Kramer's version - parts of which are taped over with footage of Elaine doing her atrocious dancing - is handed over to Brody, and it finds its way onto the street.
"The Checks"	"The Super-Terrific Happy Hour"	Jerry keeps receiving miniscule royalty checks for a one-second clip of him which appears in the opening credits of this fictitious Japanese comedy show.
	"Jerry"
"The Comeback"	"Weekend At Bernie's II"
	"The Other Side of Darkness"
	"The Pain and the Yearning"
	"Betrayed"
"The Pothole"	"Fantastic Voyage"
"The English Patient"	"The English Patient"	Everyone is wowed by this movie except Elaine.
	"Sack Lunch"	Elaine would rather see this movie than "The English Patient." Commenting on its poster, she wonders if the pictured family is shrunken down or if it's just a very large sack.
"The Nap"	"The Omen"	George mentions that he was up to 4 A.M. watching the "Omen" trilogy - causing him to suffer from a lack of sleep.
"The Yada Yada"	"Striptease"	In her conversation with an adoption-agency caseworker, Elaine relates an incident in which she and the prospective adoptive parents went to see this movie. Her recollection of how the father-to-be yelled at her to shut up because she was whispering puts the kibosh on the adoption.
"The Summer of George"	"The White Shadow"	George, in the process of decomposing - er, decompressing - mentions to Jerry that "The White Shadow" is on TV, and indicates that he doesn't want to be bothered while he is watching it.
	"Scarsdale Surprise"
"The Serenity Now"	"The Net"	George's father goes into business selling computers because of a "provocative movie" he saw on cable TV, "The Net." He says that it featured "that girl from 'The Bus'" - presumably meaning Sandra Bullock in "Speed."
"The Junk Mail"	"Last Tango in Paris"	Jerry is under that impression that George saw this movie with boyhood pal, Whitey Fisk, a "summer Jerry." But George admits to him that Fisk was made-up, and that he didn't see "Last Tango in Paris." "Too bad," Jerry reflects. "It was erotic."
"The Merv Griffin Show"	"The Lion King"	Elaine mentions to Jerry that she has a new co-worker, Lou Filerman, who sidled her in her office. She was sitting there making a cup of soup and singing "Hakuna Matata" from this movie.
"The Strike"	"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
	"The Outlaw Josey Wales"
"The Dealership"	"Thelma & Louise"
"The Cartoon"	"Jerry Seinfeld is the Devil"
"The Strongbox"	"Cinderfella"
"The Wizard"	"Independence Day"
"The Burning"	"Titanic"	George indicates to Jerry that after hitting his high note with a witty remark to his Kruger colleagues - about smoothing a statue's over-smoothed head down to nothing, sticking a pumpkin under its arm, and changing its nameplate to Ichabod Crane - he left and saw "Titanic."
"The Puerto Rican Day"	"Blimp: The Hindenburg Story"	George makes a sarcastic remark - "That's gotta hurt!" - at the point at which the airship blows up, to strangers at a showing of this fictitious film. When he tries the same line at a second showing, he is thwarted by a guy with a laser pointer.
"The Finale"	"Jerry"

Subtle references to actual people in "Seinfeld":

Character	Episode(s)	Comments
Lloyd Braun	"The Gum" "The Non-Fat Yogurt" "The Serenity Now"	An executive at ABC (As of this time - March 2002 - he is the entertainment chairman. Let's hope that concern over the state of his network doesn't land him in a mental institution, as the Dinkins mayoral campaign name-tag fiasco did to his namesake.)
Mr. Papanickolas	"The Revenge"	Pete Papanickolas, the show's key grip
Papa Nick, a racehorse	"The Subway"	Pete Papanickolas, the show's key grip
Joe Mayo	"The Reverse Peephole"	A crew member of the show
Alec Berg	"The Face Painter"	One of the show's writers
Steve Koren	"The Van Buren Boys"	One of the show's crew - his credits include writer, story, producer, and co-producer

I wonder if character Beth Lookner in "The Yada Yada" is a reference to a relative of writer Steve Lookner.

The three appearances of the "street toughs," Cedric ("Zhou talking to me?") and Bob ("Well maybe he was talking to me."):

Episode	Comments
"The Soup Nazi"	They admire, then steal Elaine's recently-purchased armoire from a helpless Kramer.
"The Sponge"	In the mob at the AIDS walk, they attack Kramer for not wearing an AIDS-awareness ribbon.
"The Puerto Rican Day"	In the mob at the Puerto Rican Day parade, they attack Kramer for setting fire to and then stepping on a Puerto Rican flag.

Note, however, that in "The Soup Nazi" they appear in the credits as Ray and Bob. In the other two episodes their names in the credits are Cedric and Bob. Interestingly, one of the customers in "The Soup Nazi" is portrayed by Cedric Duplechain.

A litany of George's lies (to come)

(I could probably devote a full page to this subject alone, not to mention the falsehoods of the rest of the gang.)

Never-seen siblings of the gang:

Who	Episode	Comments
Jerry's sister	"The Chinese Restaurant"	Jerry: "[From] my uncle to my cousin, my cousin to my sister, my sister to me." (In real life Jerry has a sister, Carolyn.)
George's brother	"The Suicide"	When the psychic questions him, "Who’s Pauline?" George confides to her that his brother once impregnated a woman named Pauline.
	"The Parking Space"	George: "Nobody in my family can pay for parking. It's a sickness. My father never paid for parking, my mother, my brother, nobody. We can't do it."
Elaine's sister	"The Airport"	Jerry mentions to Elaine that on her trip to St. Louis with him she got to see her sister.
	"The Pick"	She speaks with her sister, Gail, about her nephew hiding her exposed-nipple Christmas card.
	"The Phone Message"	She relates an incident about her brother-in-law. Since Elaine's not married, it must have been her sister's husband.

Not quite - but similar - are several appearances of or references to cousins of George:

• In "The Stranded," he mentions to Jerry that he got fleas because his cousin's imbecile dog was rolling around outside and they got in his carpet.
• In "The Contest," while visiting his mother in the hospital, his cousin Shelly arrives.
• In "The Junk Mail," he starts an affair with his cousin Rhisa in order to get his parents involved in his life.

Two more related tidbits:

• In "The Parking Garage," as part of one of his lies to the police officer, Jerry indicates that his (presumably fictitious) brother is probably in possession of his public urination pass.
• In "The Virgin," when he and Jerry are about to meet the NBC execs to discuss their ideas for their sitcom, George concocts some excuses to get out of their meeting, including a sob story about how his (presumably fictitious) sister was shot for laughing.
• There are no siblings to speak of for Kramer. I guess he was an only child. I'm sure that Babs had her hands full with little Cosmo anyway.

The lines "I can't! I won't!" were uttered numerous times in the early years of the series. Here is a list of those occurrences:

Episode	Comments
"The Airport"	Jerry points out to Elaine that, whereas she always flies in coach class, he does not. He can't! He won't!
"The Cheever Letters"	Kramer can't and won't play on public golf courses. The Cuban cigars from Susan's father which George passed along to him were his entree onto the private course at the Westchester Country Club, but his cache of them was lost in the great Ross cabin inferno of the previous episode, "The Bubble Boy."
"The Understudy"	Jerry, while sitting on a couch with his sobbing girlfriend-of-the-week as they are watching the movie "Beaches," refuses to go over and put his arm around her. Thinking to himself: He can't, he won't!

In "The Wallet," Elaine tries to break up with her Svenjolly boyfriend and former psychiatrist, Dr. Reston. To her resistance about having Kramer, who she indicates is her new beau, give him a call, he sternly instructs her, "You can do it, and you will do it." Elaine meekly offers, "No, I can't." to which Reston curtly repeats, "You can and you will." Sort of a Bizarro version of "I can't! I won't!"

In the early years of the series, the sarcastic query "Who (or what) are you?" accompanied by some name was often used. Here is a list of those occurrences:

Episode	Who/what are you ...?	Comments
"The Stock Tip"	"What are you ... a doctor?"	George to Jerry, ...
"The Jacket"	"What are you ... Bud Abbott?"	George to Jerry, after Jerry calls George an idiot for misunderstanding Schumann to be boyhood pal Artie, not composer Robert.
"The Deal"	"Who are you ... my uncle?"	Elaine to Jerry, ...
"The Pen"	"Who are you ... Van Johnson?"	Uncle Leo to Jerry, who is wearing sunglasses to conceal his black eyes - the result of burst capillaries from scuba diving.
"The Pez Dispenser"	"What are you ... a baby?"	George to Jerry, ...
"The Pez Dispenser"	"What are you ... Joe Hollywood?"	Jerry to George, after an impatient George tells Jerry to "cut to the chase."
"The Limo"	"What are you ... Mannix?"	Jerry to George, after George suggests that they escape from the limo by jumping out of it, and rolling so they won't get hurt.
"The Shoes"	"What is she ... Rowan and Martin?"	George to Elaine, about his therapist, who didn't think the pilot script for "Jerry" was funny.
"The Hamptons"	"Who are you ... Mrs. Robinson?"	Jerry to Elaine, ...

Closely related, in "The Junior Mint," George asks Jerry, "Who are you to play God?" after Jerry indicates that he is considering coming clean about accidentally dropping the candy into the open abdominal cavity of Elaine's ex-boyfriend, whose surgery he and Kramer were observing at a hospital operating theater.

In the show's final years, another phrase "Who is this?" - also voiced sarcastically - was used several times, always by the recipient of a phone call, pretending to not know the caller. Here's a list of those occurrences:

Episode	Comments
"The Bizarro Jerry"	Jerry to George: George was calling to request another photograph of "Man-Hands" (Jerry's girlfriend, Gillian).
"The Checks"	Jerry to George: George was calling from a pay phone about the Japanese tourists who were late for their meeting with the television execs about airing "Jerry" in Japan?
"The Nap"	Jerry to George: George was calling from beneath his desk, as Steinbrenner waited above for him.
"The Dealership"	Elaine to Jerry: Jerry was calling from the car dealership in an attempt to get her and Puddy back together.

Episodes in which the name Art Vandelay or just "Vandelay" was mentioned:

Episode	Comments
"The Stakeout"	In order to run into a girl which Jerry met at a birthday get-together, he and George stake out the lobby of the building in which she works. While waiting for her to appear, they concoct an excuse for their presence - they are going to have lunch with a friend, an importer/exporter named Art Corvelay. Somehow, in the confusion of the moment, George switches the fictitious name to Art Vandelay.
"The Red Dot"	When prospective employer, Mr. Lippman, asks George about who he likes to read - authors, not sports writers - George indicates only one, Art Vandelay. He says that he's an obscure Beatnik writer who has written something called "Venetian Blinds." It sounds pretty hokey, of course, but it must have impressed Lippman enough to have hired George.
"The Boyfriend"	George lies to the unemployment-insurance caseworker that he is seeking employment as a latex salesman at Vandelay Industries.
"The Pilot"	At the casting session, one of the actors trying to land the part of George, Mark Matts, reads some lines based upon the scenario of "The Boyfriend." (Thank you again, Dan H., for alerting me to this one.)
"The Cadillac"	Elaine covers up for George's meeting with Marisa Tomei, telling his fiancée, Susan, that she had met with him to discuss her importer/exporter boyfriend, Art Vandelay.
"The Bizarro Jerry"	George indicates to the receptionist at Brandt-Leland that he is there to meet Art Vandelay.
"The Serenity Now"	In order to look good in his competition with Lloyd Braun to sell computers for his father, George places a pretend sales call to a Mr. Vandelay. (Thank you, Derek Kurth, for calling my attention to this one.)
"The Puerto Rican Day"	George, believing that he has found the culprit who has been "dotting" him with a laser pen, grabs the pen of a delivery man and destroys it, ending up with ink all over his hands. Looking for a place to clean up, he winds up in an apartment for sale, in which he asks the real estate agent if he could see the bathrooms - preferably one with some paint thinner and some rags. There he employs his oft-used alias, Art Vandelay, in his ruse.
"The Finale"	George believes that it is a good omen that the name of the judge who is presiding over their case is Arthur Vandelay. Nothing could be more unlikely, either because of or in spite of the fact that they are being represented by Jackie Chiles.

Supposedly a scene was filmed with Elaine and the real George Steinbrenner, but it wound up on the cutting-room floor. (Hopefully, it will be included in the DVD of the series when that eventually is released.) And I believe that the voice of Alex Trebek was used in another episode. Kramer was watching "Jeopardy!" and was responding correctly to each of the clues.

Episodes in which squirrels are mentioned:

Episode	Comments
"The Stranded"	As George is leaving the party with his fur-wearing new love interest, Ava, Elaine incites an argument about animal cruelty, accusing Ava that she might intentionally run over a squirrel.
"The Lip Reader"	Elaine, claiming that she's a not a terrible person, indicates that when she shoos squirrels away she always says, "Get out of here". She never ever throws things at them or tries to injure them like other people.
"The Conversion"	George's father, when hearing that his son is studying to convert to the Latvian Orthodox faith, questions that it's some kind of a cult that mutilates squirrels.
"The Rye"	Jerry mentions to Elaine that he bumped into Clyde, a member of the band of her current boyfriend, John Germaine - and that he indicated to him that she and John "were pretty hot and heavy." She is upset that he described her relationship in those terms, fearing that it might get back to John. Explaining it to Jerry, she says, "I'm trying to get a little squirrel to come over to me here. I don't wanna make any big, sudden movements. I'll frighten him away."
"The Merv Griffin Show"	While driving with his girlfriend-of-the-week, George swerves his car in order to avoid some pigeons. Unfortunately, by doing so he accidentally hits a squirrel.

Episodes in which Jerry's father mentions that he once worked for the legendary Harry Fleming:

Episode	Comments
"The Pony Remark"
"The Raincoats"
"The Money"

Episodes in which the term "vault" was used:

Episode	Comments
"The Phone Message"	George to Jerry, after Jerry's girlfriend-of-the-week storms out when learning that he has told both George and Kramer about her admiration of the cotton Dockers TV commercial.
"The Fix-Up"
"The Parking Space"
"The Pool Guy"
"The Betrayal"

Episodes in which Kramer mentions one of his never-seen friends, usually Bob Saccamano or Lomez:

Episode	Comments
"The Heart Attack"	Kramer, in his rant against the medical industry, indicates that as a result of some botched surgery, Bob Saccamano is a high-talker.
"The Truth"	Kramer reveals that Bob Saccamano once was in a mental institution, and that electroshock therapy had no effect on him because his synapses were so large.
"The Tape"	[Spector]
"The Fix-Up"	Saccamano (from New Jersey) who works in a condom factory gives Kramer samples of his company's wares.
"The Glasses"	Kramer, watching Elaine, comments that she has rabies, just like his friend Bob Saccamano.
"The Stand-In"	[Len Nicodemo]
"The Hot Tub"	Kramer indicates to Jerry that he has a hot tub in his living room - sold to him by his friend Lomez.
"The Seven"	In response to Elaine, who uses the phrase "hungry enough to eat a horse" to illustrate how Kramer shouldn't take too literally her offer to give her bike to the first person who could make the pain in her neck go away, he mentions that his friend Jay Riemenschneider eats horse all the time.
"The Wig Master"	George thinks that the two-week stay of his house guest, Susan's friend, the wig master, is excessive. Not so, says Kramer, who indicates that Bob Saccamano once stayed with him for a year and a half.
"The Little Kicks"	When Jerry asks how he met Brody, the movie bootlegger, Kramer indicates that he's a friend of his friend Corky Ramirez up on 94th Street.
"The Package"	[Lomez?]
"The Fatigues"	Elaine questions Jerry whether he is attending a party being hosted by Bob Saccamano (which, unbeknownst to her, had been held several days earlier). Kramer, who is arranging a Jewish singles party, mentions that Lomez is an Orthodox Jew - from the "old school."
"The Chicken Roaster"	After Jerry and Kramer switch apartments, their personalities also transfer to each other, evidenced to Elaine when Jerry relates a story to her about his friend Bob Saccamano. (He sells Russian hats down at Battery Park, made of nutria fur. By the way, nutria is a type of rat.)
"The Van Buren Boys"	Kramer's first story to Elaine for her "autobiography" of Mr. Peterman is, according to her, a "stupid Bob Saccamano story" which turns into one of Kramer returning a pair of pants. When she asks Kramer about Saccamano, he says, "Well, nothing. His part of the story is done." She gets exasperated, and he continues relating to her about how he ruined the very pants he was about to return when he fell in mud in a subway tunnel. Later in the episode, when Kramer is celebrating his windfall with friends at a bar, one of his cronies indicates to him that Ramirez - possibly Corky, who was mentioned in "The Little Kicks" - has never heard his pants story. Kramer begins by stating that he had Bob Saccamano on the phone, only to be cut off by Elaine, who reminds him that he can no longer tell that story now because it belongs to Peterman. (Thanks to Dan H. for reminding me about this one.)
"The Muffin Tops"	During one of his Peterman Reality Bus Tours, Kramer points out to the impatient tourists Lomez's house of worship - after noting his own apartment (the one whose bedroom window is covered in chicken wire). (Yet another thank-you to Dan H. for bringing this one to my attention.)
"The Voice"	When Jerry questions Kramer's intern Darren why he's writing down everything he and George are saying, Darren indicates that Kramer is in a meeting with "Mr. Lomez" and that he didn’t want to miss anything.
"The Slicer"	When Elaine mentions that the alarm of her next door neighbor - the one whose apartment always smells like potatoes - has been beeping since 3:30 that morning, Kramer indicates that the same thing happened to Lomez, so he blew his neighbor's circuit.
"The Betrayal"	The closest we come to actually seeing one of Kramer's never-seen friends is in this episode, when Kramer is knocking on the door of a portable toilet, imploring Lomez to come out or they'd be late for a movie.
"The Apology"	While in the shower, Kramer talks to Lomez on the phone.
"The Wizard"	Kramer talks Bob Saccamano's father - who lives in Florida - into getting Jerry a deal on some Wizard electronic organizers. Unfortunately, the items turn out to be cheap knock-offs - Willards.
"The Frogger"	Kramer indicates to Jerry that he got some official police caution tape from his cop buddy Doug. At that point, Jerry comments to Kramer: "You sure have a lot of friends. How come I never see any of these people?" To that Kramer replies: "They want to know why they never see you." So much for Kramer's worlds colliding.
"The Puerto Rican Day"	Kramer mentions that Bob Saccamano made a fortune off of those paddles with the ball and the rubber band. Supposedly, he came up with the idea for the rubber band. Before that, people would just hit the ball, and it would fly away.

Episodes in which Reggie's, known by the gang as the Bizarro coffee shop, is mentioned:

Episode	Comments
"The Soup"	In retaliation for dropping him like a hot potato for his "manure" remark, George tries to get one of the waitresses at Monk's fired by repeatedly calling her where she works. This has the unintended effect of getting him banned - apparently only temporarily - from the coffee shop, so he winds up sitting alone at Reggie's.
"The Pool Guy"	George meets Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and his fiancée, Susan, in a booth for four at Monk's. Already suffering the effects of his worlds colliding, he goes to Reggie's to eat alone. Later, in the movie theater, the irate George - believing that Jerry is present at a particular showing of "Chunnel" - rants, "I know you're there, laughing at me! Laughing and lying and laughing! I had to go to Reggie's, Jerry! Reggie's!"
"The Bizarro Jerry"	Elaine's former boyfriend-of-the-week, Kevin, and his friends, Gene and Feldman (from across the hall), hang out at Reggie's - which is noted by Elaine with the comment that eating its tuna sandwich is like chewing on an old sponge.

Episodes in which members of the gang switch characteristics with each other:

Episode	Comments
"The Opposite"	As a result of doing the opposite of his instincts, George becomes successful. Elaine, however, in the course of this episode, indicates that she has become George - that is, the "loser" George.
"The Doorman"	At the request of the doorman of Mr. Pitts' building, Jerry stands in for him, and at one point imitates his surly attitude to a building resident.
"The Abstinence"	George's abstinence from sex causes him to devote more of his brain to constructive thought. That same course of action results in Elaine becoming a dolt.
"The Chicken Roaster"	To placate Kramer, Jerry trades apartments with him. This has the unexpected effect of their personalities temporarily switching.

Episodes in which Hennigan's - a presumably fictitious brand of scotch - is mentioned:

Episode	Comments
"The Red Dot"
"The Boyfriend"	After Elaine questions whether Jerry is jealous of her or of Keith Hernandez, Jerry asks, "Is there any Hennigan's?"
"The Parking Space"	When Elaine bursts into Jerry's apartment, she asks frantically for something to drink, "Do you have any Hennigan's?"

Why does Elaine have so much difficulty getting Chinese food?

Episode	Comments
"The Chinese Restaurant"	She (and Jerry and George) must wait "five, ten minutes" to be seated at the title establishment. Only after they exit out of frustration over their excessive wait are they called for a table.
"The Race"	She is put on a "blacklist" for Chinese food delivery.
"The Pothole"	She tries to order a new Chinese dish, but she lives over the boundary - just across the street - for delivery.

And she causes trouble in "The Virgin" when she collides with a Jerry-bound bicycle-riding Chinese food delivery boy.

Boy, the Seinfeld Four sure don't have a good track record when it comes to relating to the handicapped.

Episode	Comments
"The Note"	Jerry makes idle chit-chat with his masseuse, at one point wondering what would be the worst part of being blind. He figures that it would be trying to eat, because you would have to feel around for bugs in your food with your fingers and tongue.
"The Handicap Spot"	At the gang's urging, George parks his father's car in a handicap spot in a shopping mall parking lot. This causes a legitimately handicapped woman to park elsewhere and damage her wheelchair. Kramer, after meeting the woman, falls in love with her, and winds up purchasing her a discount used wheelchair - with tragic results.
"The Bris"	I might be pushing it a bit here, but I'd venture to guess that the "pig-man" - a fat little mental patient - is handicapped in some way.
"The Lip Reader"	Jerry notices one of the line judges at a tennis match, who turns out to be deaf. In order to satisfy George's suspicions, she agrees to lip-read the girl who dumped him. However, her talents aren't all they were cracked up to be.
"The Dinner Party"	In order to break a $100 bill, George is forced to purchase several items at a newsstand, including - at Kramer's urging - a Penthouse Forum magazine. After Kramer begins reading one of the letters, George remarks that there are an amazing number of people who are having sex with amputees.
"The Jimmy"	Kramer's novocaine-induced slurred speech, his unusual footwear, and his dissheveled look lead the head of a charitable organization for the mentally-challenged to invite him as a guest of honor at the organization's benefit affair. Seated at the head table, Kramer is serenaded by Mel Tormé and joins him in a rousing rendition of "When You're Smiling."
"The Face Painter"	George dates a girl who is hard-of-hearing in one ear. When he learns about this disability, he believes that her lack of reaction to his "I love you" was because she must not have heard it. So he professes his love to her again - this time into her "good" ear. However, she admits that she heard him the first time, and the romance sours.
"The Wink"	At the coffee shop, the gang goes from debating the pros and cons of blind- and deaf-dates to discussing whether it would be better to date the blind or the deaf.
"The Secret Code"	Leapin' Larry, an appliance-store proprietor, is missing part of a leg. He believes that prospective pitchman Jerry, whose foot has fallen asleep, is mocking his wobbly gait.
"The Muffin Tops"	When asked by Elaine if he would deliver some "stumps" (actually muffins sans their tops) to a garbage dump, Kramer's response indicates that he believed that they were amputees.
"The Butter Shave" "The Voice"	As a result of his fall on extra-glossy envelopes in "The Summer of George", George is required to walk with a cane. His prospective boss believes that he is handicapped - or differently-abled, to be politically correct - and hires him. He doesn't lead his co-workers to believe otherwise, and he takes full advantage of his company's generosity - including the offer of a motorized wheelchair. But when it is revealed that he is not really disabled, he is equally shunned.

It could be argued that Frank Costanza is handicapped by his larger-than-normal (for a man) breasts. ("The Doorman")

The gang have had their share of run-ins with the law, getting arrested for various offenses:

Episode	Comments
"The Stranded"	George: Shoplifting Jerry: Soliciting prostitution - it looked that way to the police officer who walked in on him as he was paying off a hooker to leave his apartment
"The Parking Garage"	Jerry and George: Public urination in a shopping mall parking garage
"The Trip"	Kramer: Serial murder - believed to be the Smog Strangler
"The Beard"	Kramer: A vengeful homeless man picks him out of a police lineup
"The Engagement"	Elaine and Kramer (and Newman): Kidnapping a dog
"The Wig Master"	Kramer: Promoting prostitution - he certainly looked like a pimp
"The Package"	Jerry: Mail fraud George: Involvement in some ill-conceived mail-order pornography ring
"The Maid"	Jerry: Soliciting prostitution
"The Finale"	All four: Not assisting a crime victim (a fat guy who was being mugged)

And George got his father arrested in "The Handicap Spot" for parking Dad's car in the title space.

Episodes in which religion plays a part:

Episodes in which homosexuality - either real or just perceived - plays a part:

Episode	Comments
"The Note"	George indicates to Jerry that, in the course of getting a massage from a masseur, "it" moved. He believes that that is the sign that he must be gay.
"The Truth"	George mentions to Jerry that he has driven women to lesbianism before, but never to a mental institution.
"The Subway"	Elaine is on her way to a lesbian wedding, where she is to be the "best man."
"The Outing"	Elaine, while waiting with Jerry and George at the coffee shop for a writer from the NYU newspaper, believes that the women seated behind them are eavesdropping on their conversation. She goads Jerry and George into pretending that they are gay. It turns out that one of the keen-eared women at Monk's is the NYU journalist, but it is only after her interview with Jerry that he realizes that fact. She writes a story which "outs" him, even though he was never "in," and he and George try to convince her that they are not gay.
"The Smelly Car"	George runs into his former girlfriend Susan in a video rental store - with her new-found female companion. Kramer, with his "kavorka" ("The Conversion"), manages to woo the latter into a relationship with him.
"The Stall"	George has what appears to be a crush on his new friend Tony, who Jerry and Elaine describe as a "mimbo" (which is short for "male bimbo"). Kramer, perceptive in this instance, comments that George loves him. This, of course, unsettles the short, stocky one, who once described himself as a "staunch heterosexual" in "The Jacket."
"The Beard"	Elaine's escort - a gay man - appeals to her, so she tries to recruit him to her "team." Unfortunately for her, his conversion is only temporary.
"The Jimmy"	In the course of speaking with Jimmy at a fitness club, she mentions the fruitlessness of her attempt to convert her male companion in "The Beard."
"The Yada Yada"
"The Burning?"
"The Face Painter"

Over the course of the run of "Seinfeld," few subjects got as much attention from as many angles as the Kennedys. Here's a list of episodes in which they were mentioned:

Episode	Comments
"The Baby Shower"	Elaine indicates that she is going to throw a baby shower for her friend Leslie, whose husband, Todd, according to Jerry, is a "third cousin or something" to the Kennedys. Later, Jerry and George make some cracks to Elaine which are variations on some famous quotes of JFK, including "Ask not what I can do for you; ask what you can do for me" and "Ich bin eine sucker," to which she rants that everybody makes such a big deal about the Kennedys. However, when Leslie mentions to Elaine during the shower that her husband is up in Hyannisport, she seems to indicate a great fascination with the Kennedys, asking her, "Who else is up there? Is Rose up there?"
"The Boyfriend"	Jerry's account of the implausibility of Kramer's story of being spit upon by Keith Hernandez is a send-up of a similar scene in the movie "JFK" about the second-shooter theory.
"The Limo"	Kramer, convinced that Jerry and George are CIA agents, blurts out that they probably know who killed Kennedy (JFK).
"The Contest"	John Kennedy, Jr. is a member of Elaine's health club. Her efforts to hook up with him are fruitless. He winds up bedding Jerry's virgin girlfriend, Marla.
"The Pilot"	John Kennedy, Jr. and Marla watch the pilot episode of "Jerry" while in bed together.
"The Chaperone"	Elaine, unemployed as a result of the demise of her former employer, Pendant Publishing, seeks a position at Doubleday which was once held by Jackie Kennedy Onassis. She doesn't get that post, but is noticed by Justin Pitt, who envisions her as the second coming of Ms. Onassis, and offers her a job as his personal assistant.
"The Switch"	According to Elaine, Mr. Pitt is about to have a tennis match with Ethel Kennedy, so she must retrieve his racket from a big-wig at Doubleday to whom she has lent it.
"The Engagement"	In preparing Elaine for the big news of George's engagement, Jerry describes what he is about to tell her as an event as huge as the Kennedy assassination.
"The Secret Code"	Elaine reminds Fred Yerkes about a conversation which they had at a party, in which she talked about how her uncle worked in the book depository building with Lee Harvey Oswald. When her uncle said to him, "The president's been shot," Oswald winked at him and said, "I'm gonna go catch a movie."
"The Bottle Deposit"	Mr. Peterman charges Elaine with the task of bidding on a set of JFK's golf clubs. In a fit of spite she outbids her nemesis, Sue Ellen Mishkie, winds up with the clubs, and leaves them in Jerry's car. Jerry takes his car to a mechanic to be looked at, but the mechanic - who takes more pride in the vehicle than Jerry does - absconds with the car on a multi-state odyssey. Kramer - in a mail truck with Newman bound for Michigan to cash in big-time on that state's generous 10¢ bottle deposit - spots the stolen car. When the mechanic realizes he is being pursued he tosses the clubs at the truck, rendering it inoperable. Kramer recovers the mangled clubs and passes them along to Elaine, who dutifully hands them over to their new owner, a puzzled Peterman. One more thing: Before receiving the clubs, Peterman indicates to Elaine that he intends to inaugurate them the upcoming weekend "with none other than Ethel Kennedy, a woman whose triumph in the face of tragedy is exceeded only by her proclivity to procreate."

Here's a list of the episodes in which Elaine utters that immortal phrase - usually accompanied by giving someone a two-handed shove to the chest:

Episode	Comments
"The Apartment"	When Jerry informs Elaine that he got her an apartment in his building - the one right above him, whose rent is only $400 a month because it belonged to a 94-year-old woman until she died. (With a two-handed shove to Jerry.) By the way, later in the episode Jerry exclaims "Get out!" to Kramer and gives him a shove when he is informed by the latter that he just found a guy who's willing to pay $10,000 for the apartment. (Thanks, Dan H.)
"The Red Dot"	When George presents her with the cashmere sweater. Also, just the shove when Jerry presents her with her lost watch.
"The Junior Mint"	When her ex-boyfriend Roy tells her that he lost weight because she broke up with him - with an alarming shove to his chest as he lies in a hospital bed.
"The Soup Nazi"	When learning from Kramer that he had gotten her a replacement for the armoire which was stolen from him by the street toughs - with a (two-handed?) shove.
"The Bizarro Jerry"	When hearing that her friend Kevin got tickets to the Bolshoi. But since he is the Bizarro Jerry, her customary shove is not expected, and she is forced to return to the non-Bizarro world of Jerry and company.
"The Nap"

There have been a handful of occasions on which the show used popular pieces of music in place of the usual stuff. (You know what I mean, the hip, jazzy stuff.) Here, I believe, is a complete list of those instances:

Episode	Comments
"The Pez Dispenser"	Beethoven's sonata "Pathetique," Opus 13 (Supposedly, according to a posting at the newsgroup alt.tv.seinfeld , this is the piece which George's girlfriend, Noel, plays in her piano solo.)
"The Keys"	The Beach Boys' "California Girls"
"The Bris"	Music from "The Godfather" (or was it just similar-sounding?)
"The Barber"	The "Sinfonia" from "Il Barbiere di Seville" by Gioachino Rossini (Supposedly, according to a posting at the newsgroup alt.tv.seinfeld .)

"The Hamptons"	The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
"The Mom and Pop Store"	"Honeysuckle Jump," supposedly by Artie Shaw "Next Stop Pottersville" "Everybody's Talkin'" from "Midnight Cowboy"

"The Clip Show"	Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Episodes in which members of the gang or other characters sing:

Episode	Comments
"The Robbery"	Elaine, imitating her roommate, the waitress-actress, whom she describes as "Ethel Merman without the talent," sings a bit of "I Hope I Get It" from "A Chorus Line": "God, I hope I get it / I hope I get it"
"The Ex-Girlfriend"	To the tune of "Rags to Riches," George sings "You know, I'd go from nods to nothing ..."
"The Jacket"	George can't get the song "Master of the House" from the Broadway show "Les Misérables" out of his head, and he keeps singing bits of it - at one point to Elaine's father. At the end of the episode, we see that Mr. Benes, too, has become entranced by the song in the same manner as George.
"The Phone Message"	Jerry and George concoct a scheme to switch the tape in the answering machine of George's girlfriend Carol: George will distract her in another room while Jerry performs the switch. In case she gets away, they need a signal for George to alert Jerry. George suggests the song "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" from the musical "The Sound of Music," and offers him a sample. That fails to win over Jerry, they settle upon "Lemon Tree," and the two sing a few lines from it.
"The Apartment"	As she enters Jerry's apartment, Elaine, believing that she would be getting an apartment in his building - right above him, in fact - sings, "Good mornin', good mornin'" from the song "Good Morning" by Gene Kelly, from the movie "Singin' in the Rain" (which is not to be confused with the Beatles' "Good Morning Good Morning" from their album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"). Interesting aside: Donald O'Connor's character in "Singin' in the Rain" is Cosmo Brown.
"The Dog"	Gleeful at the imminent departure of Farfel, Jerry sings an ad libbed ditty: "Going to the dog pound, everybody! Going to the dog pound, come on down."
"The Cafe"	I don't know if I should count it, but Pakistani restaurateur Babu Bhatt sings his distracting "nah-nah-NEE-nah" ditty.
"The Alternate Side"	While spoon-feeding Yankee bean soup to her 66-year-old stroke-incapacitated boyfriend, Elaine sings an improvised song: "Yankee bean, Yankee bean, I like my Yankee bean"
"The Red Dot"	Kramer starts singing the praises of Hennigan's Scotch, to the tune of "Harrigan." ("H - A - Double-R - I - GAN spells 'Harrigan'" becomes "H - E - Double-N - I ...")
"The Limo"	In the back of a limo, accompanied by neo-Nazis, George begins whistling "If I Were a Rich Man" from the musical "Fiddler On The Roof."
"The Trip"	Kramer, while in the shower in his L.A. digs, lustily sings "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain."
"The Watch"	Kramer, on hold after telephoning Elaine's soon-to-be ex-beau Dr. Reston, mutters a bit of "The Ballad of Johnny Yuma," the theme song of the 1959-1961 TV show "The Rebel." (I can't help but recall this snippet of dialogue from "The Heart Attack": Jerry: Eckman? I thought he was doing time. Kramer: No, no, he's out. He got out. See, the medical establishment, see, they tried to frame him. It's all politics. But he's a rebel. Jerry: A rebel? No, Johnny Yuma was a rebel. Eckman is a nut.) Later in the episode, as Elaine waits on the street for Kramer to leave Dr. Reston's office, Crazy Joe Davola strolls by, singing "Side By Side," and she joins in.
"The Bubble Boy"	As Kramer comes back with Naomi to Susan's father's cabin after a swim in the lake, he sings a brief little ditty, "Big, wild, funky mountain-man." (Is this from an actual song?)
"The Opera"	Jerry sings a few lines from "This Is It" (the theme of "The Bugs Bunny Show"). Also, Kramer delivers his impression of operatic vocals in mock Italian.
"The Contest"	Jerry starts singing "Wheels on the Bus," and Kramer follows with the same tune but with alternate lyrics ("The woman across the street has nothing on, nothing on, nothing on ...").
"The Airport"	There's no melody attached to this one, but it has real catchy lyrics. While on the way to the airport to pick up Jerry and Elaine, Kramer and George sing an impromptu homage to the duty-free shop: "I like to stop at the duty-free shop." (Thanks to Dan H. for jarring my memory on this one.)
"The Pick"	George gives a pathetic but heartfelt rendition of "The Most Beautiful Girl."
"The Pilot"	Elated at the success of the "dreaded apparatus," Kramer belts out his version of "Pistol Packin' Mama."
"The Marine Biologist"	Elaine "sings" a few lines from "War": "War / What is it good for / Absolutely nothing / Say it again" What is the name of the classical piece which Newman whistles as he is walking down the street, just before he is conked on the head by the boot which Kramer accidentally drops from a window sill?
"The Opposite"	"Even Steven" Jerry sings "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" as he leaves Monk's, just after he breaks up with Rachel, the girl with whom he made out at a showing of "Schindler's List" ("The Raincoats"), and who witnessed George's pool-induced shrinkage ("The Hamptons"). (Thanks again, correspondent Dan H.)
"The Chaperone"	Miss Rhode Island sings "It's A Most Unusual Day" for the Miss America Pageant talent competition. Also, Jerry and Kramer each offer the first line from "There She Is, Miss America" at different points in this episode.
"The Mom and Pop Store"	George sings a few lines from "Everybody's Talkin'" from the movie "Midnight Cowboy" - with some ad libbing thrown in.
"The Jimmy"	Mel Tormé serenades Kramer with "When You're Smiling" at a charity dinner. Kramer joins him at the end of the song.
"The Face Painter"	George, elated that he's in love, enters Jerry's apartment singing "Something's up, there's something in the air." (Is this from some actual song?)
"The Understudy"	At one point, Bette Midler sings to Kramer one of the songs from "Rochelle Rochelle: The Musical," in which she is playing. At the end of the episode, her understudy Gennice begins singing the same song - until her shoelace comes undone.
"The Maestro"	As Elaine drives off with Bob Cobb, er, the Maestro, she begins singing "La donna è mobile" from Verdi's "Rigoletto." A little while later, she and the Maestro - still in his car - are heard singing "Funiculi, Funicula." And earlier in the episode, just after the first appearance of the Maestro, Kramer describes how the conductor does "The Flight of the Bumble Bee," with a lot of manic buzzing. (The classical piece by Rimsky-Korsakov has no lyrics.)
"The Calzone"	Newman is briefly heard singing "Singin' In The Rain."
"The Bottle Deposit"	Jerry and George do not sing, but recite the lyrics to "Downtown." (I recall seeing Steve Allen do the same thing with rock-and-roll songs on several occasions, with comic intent. Also, Alex Trebek often must do this when he reads lyric-oriented clues on "Jeopardy!" In fact, on April 11, 2003, one of the clues on "Jeopardy!" was "'When you're alone and life is making you lonely you can always go' here." Where is Downtown, of course.) While heading to Michigan to cash in their truckload of cans and bottles, Kramer and Newman sing an altered version of "Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall": Nine-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-nine bottles and cans in the trunk Nine-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-nine bottles and cans At ten cents a bottle And ten cents a can We're pulling in five-hundred dollars a man Nine-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-eight bottles and cans in the trunk Nine-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-eight bottles and cans We fill up with gas We count up our cash ... And, for all it's worth, also in this episode George remarks to Jerry about the unexpected completion of his mystery assignment from Mr. Wilhelm: "Maybe somebody did it and didn't take credit for it. Maybe it was already done and didn't need doing in the first place. I have no idea who did it, what they did, or how they did it so well. And you know what? Jimmy crack corn and I don't care."
"The Checks"	When Elaine mentions to Jerry that she's on the outs with her boyfriend Brett because he shushed her during "Desperado," he suggests to her that she needs a song that she can share with Brett. Indicating that she feels very strongly about "Witchy Woman," she sings a bit of it. Later, after Brett is accidentally hit in the head by Jerry with the handle of an axe, Elaine and Jerry start singing "Desperado" to him.
"The Chicken Roaster"	Describing how he intends to get follow-up dates with the saleswoman who sold the sable hat to him - actually, to Elaine - George sings the Mennen jingle to Jerry. ("What's the difference? You know the way I work. I'm like a commercial jingle. First it's a little irritating. Then you hear it a few times, you hum it in the shower. By the third date it's 'By Mennen!'") In the immediately-following scene, as Jerry enters his apartment, he reveals how George has subliminally influenced him: He, too, sings the Mennen jingle. Later in the episode, as George is leaving saleswoman Heather's apartment after having secretly left behind his sable hat, he silently sings "Costanza" like "By Mennen." Lastly, when George and Heather meet in the park, she admits to him how he has grown on her, and sings "Costanza" to the tune of the Mennen jingle.
"The Susie"	George sings the message on his answering machine to the tune of "The Greatest American Hero (Believe it Or Not)," the theme song of the '80s TV show "The Greatest American Hero" - albeit with altered lyrics: Believe it or not, George isn't at home Please leave a message at the beep I must be out or I'd pick up the phone Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home
"The Pothole"	Newman belts out "Three Times A Lady" while making a fish delivery, just before being engulfed in a Hindenberg-reminiscent fireball. Oh, the humanity!
"The Nap"	At several points in this episode, Steinbrenner tries to enlist others to help him figure out the name of a song. It turns out to be Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker," which he sings with botched lyrics.
"The Millennium"	George sings a few lines from "Meet The Mets." Later, after he snags the position of head scout of the New York Mets, Wilhelm does, too.
"The Summer of George"	Just as Elaine is telling Mr. Peterman that her co-worker, Sam, is crazy, who should walk by but Sam. So Elaine tries to cover up her comment by continuing her sentence with a sheepish rendition of Patsy Cline's "Crazy." (Thanks to correspondent Derek Kurth for jogging my memory about this one.)
"The Reverse Peephole"	As Kramer is reversing the peephole on his door, he is heard singing to himself - "Mexican Radio" by Double Drive, if I'm correct.
"The Frogger"	There's a whole slew of singing in this episode: First, Elaine's J. Peterman co-workers sing "Happy Birthday" to Walter while singing "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow" to "Other-Walter." Then, to Elaine's annoyance, they sing her a get-well song which, as she points out strongly, isn't even a song. ("Get well, get well soon. We wish you to get well.") Later in the episode, that crew is heard singing "Happy Birthday" in the background once more. Next, Peterman sings the aforementioned get-well song as he enters his office. Lastly, when Peterman is informed by the world's foremost appraiser of vintage pastry that the slice of cake from the wedding of King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, circa 1937, price $29,000, which he purchased has been replaced by a piece of Entenmann's cake, price $2.19, Elaine meekly sings to him the get-well song.

In "The Stall," Kramer comments that he sang "Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall" as he and George rode in an ambulance to the hospital with the injured Tony.

In "The Merv Griffin Show," Elaine mentions to Jerry that she was singing "Hakuna Matata" from "The Lion King" in her office when her new co-worker sidled her.

Even more distantly related, George indicates in "The Statue" how, when he was ten years old, he was using a statue - the same one which Jerry got from his late grandfather - as a microphone to sing "MacArthur Park."

Episodes in which cancer has been mentioned:

Episode	Comments
"The Pilot"	George's psychiatrist notices a white discoloration on his lip, and only after much prodding does he go to a doctor to have it checked out. "Is it cancer?" George frantically asks. But the doctor replies that he doesn't know what it is, and suggests that a biopsy be taken.
"The Scofflaw"	A friend of Jerry, Gary Fogel, tries to win sympathy from him by leading him to believe that he has cancer. However, Gary confides to George that that is not the case. George reveals this to Jerry, and persistently tries to have him keep this information in the vault, because Gary gave him a gift certificate for a free hairpiece.
"The Face Painter"	It is learned that Gary, from "The Scofflaw," was killed. By cancer, Elaine wonders? No, it was the result of a car accident.
"The Butter Shave"	Jerry, ticked off at Bania, who he believes is enjoying a cushy time slot behind him at the comedy club, decides to "take a dive" in his next set. When he delivers the line "And what's the deal with cancer?" he expectedly tanks.
"The Slicer"	Jerry is convinced by George into believing that the rash he is suffering from is a result of his girlfriend-of-the-week, who is "just a dermatologist." George also goads him into a confrontation with her on their next date. Only after making the accusation to her, whom he calls "Pimple-Popper, M.D.," does he realize that dermatologists also handle major health problems - a patient of hers thanks her for treating his skin cancer.
"The Andrea Doria"	While waiting at a restaurant for her blind date - er, setup - Elaine reads a package of artificial sweetener: "... cancer in laboratory animals."

Episodes in which members of the gang are absent:

Episode	Character(s)	Comments
"Good News, Bad News"	Elaine	Supposedly, the character of Elaine was created after the series' pilot episode was filmed.
"The Chinese Restaurant"	Kramer	He's certainly not with Jerry, George, and Elaine at the restaurant. So unless his scenes were cut for syndication, for some reason he was absent from that show.
"The Pen"	Kramer and George	Only Jerry and Elaine are featured, as they travel to Florida to attend a testimonial dinner for Jerry's father.
"The Trip"	Elaine

Episodes in which George refers to himself in the third person:

Episode	Comments
"The Jimmy"	George first picks up this habit from fellow gym-mate and business associate, Jimmy. The writers take full advantage of this new quirk and the coincidence that Costanza and his big boss, Mr. Steinbrenner, share the same first name.
"The Pool Guy"	"George is getting upset!"
"The Sponge"	"George is getting frustrated!"
"The Foundation"	"George is going to the movies!"
"The Bizarro Jerry"	"He knows."
"The Susie"	In George's answering-machine message - which he sings to the tune of "The Greatest American Hero (Believe it Or Not)" - his altered lyrics include "Believe it or not, George isn't at home."
"The Cartoon"	When George's girlfriend Janet, the "She-Jerry," reveals to him her new short hairdo, he freaks out and bolts out her door, shouting, "George is in big trouble!"
"The Maid"	He falls back into his old habit of talking in the third person, albeit with his new moniker, Gammy: "Gammy's getting upset!"

In "The Abstinence," Jackie Chiles exclaims to Kramer, "Jackie's cashin' in on your wretched disfigurement."

Episodes in which members of the medical profession are badmouthed:

Episode	Comments
"The Heart Attack"	Kramer knocks the entire medical establishment as a money-grabbing institution.
"The Ex-Girlfriend"	George scoffs at a chiropractor as not being a real doctor, and he pays only about half of his bill.
"The Conversion"	Elaine dates a podiatrist, at first remarking to him that such a professional is not a real doctor.
"The Slicer"	Jerry and George come to the conclusion that a dermatologist's answer to any skin problem is to put some aloe on it, until they realize that dermatologists are also responsible for treating serious maladies - such as skin cancer.
"The Andrea Doria"	When Jerry suggests to Kramer that he visit a doctor for his bad cough, the hipster doofus replies that doctors are "lackeys and yes-men all towing the company line."

Diseases and medical conditions which are either encountered or mentioned:

Episode	Comments
"The Ex-Girlfriend"	George visits Jerry's chiropractor, but pays only about half of his $75 bill. Jerry admits to paying the $35 difference.
"The Heart Attack"	George mistakenly believes that he is having a heart attack; it's actually only a case of tonsillitis.
"The Suicide"	George voices his fear of contracting lupus. (He also does this in another episode. Was it "The Good Samaritan?")
"The Bubble Boy"	The bubble boy's father indicates to Jerry that his son has a rare immune deficiency in his blood which requires him to live in a plastic bubble.
"The Old Man"	Elaine - and Jerry and George - has volunteered to visit several elderly people, but her charge has a football-sized goiter on her neck - what she describes to Jerry as a "second head."
"The Package"	Elaine has a nasty skin rash. It proves to be somewhat incurable, since each physician whom she visits dismisses the ailment and adds more comments to her medical history.
"The Andrea Doria"	Kramer has a nagging cough. He runs into a dog with the same affliction, and borrows the animal for a visit to a veterinarian. When he takes the medication which was prescribed for the dog, he begins to take on its canine traits.
"The Summer of George"	George slips on an extra-glossy envelope, and winds up a near-cripple.

I'm pretty sure that hantavirus was mentioned in one episode.

It is not a well-kept secret that "Seinfeld" executive producer and writer Larry David supplied the voice for the character of George Steinbrenner. (I have my doubts about "The Opposite," the first appearance of Steinbrenner.) However, he made several other uncredited appearances, either physically or just vocally. Here - with some assistance from The Internet Movie Database and TV Tome - is a list of episodes in which he performs:

Episode	Comments
"The Revenge"	He is heard as the voice of Newman, who didn't physically appear (in the form of Wayne Knight) until "The Suicide," almost a year later.
"The Heart Attack"	According to TV Tome, he is the screaming B-movie actor. ("Like flaming globes, Sigmund. Like flaming globes.")
"The Chinese Restaurant"	Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that I hear the voice of Mr. David - presumably dubbed in - after Elaine's aborted attempt to win a $50 bet from Jerry by swiping an egg roll from some restaurant patrons. (Supposedly, according to a posting at the newsgroup alt.tv.seinfeld , he is actually at the table from which Elaine attempts to swipe the food. If so, then his voice would not have been dubbed in.)
"The Parking Space"	According to TV Tome, he provides the voice of the fight referee.
"The Airport"	He is heard as a passenger on the flight of Jerry and Elaine - the person who indicates that he was supposed to get the Kosher meal that Elaine wound up with.
"The Pilot"	According to IMDb.com, he is seen as a man on the Greenpeace raft at the end of the episode - presumably Russell's body-double. Also, I'm sure that it's his voice that says to Kramer, "Sorry, customers only" as Kramer runs into a restaurant in order to use its restroom.
"The Marine Biologist"	According to IMDb.com, he is heard as a man on the beach - presumably the one who implores, "Is anyone here a marine biologist?"
"The Stand-In"	According to IMDb.com, he is heard as the soap opera director. ("Alright, you guys get on their spots so we can fix the lights.")
"The Fire"	He is heard as the emcee who introduces Jerry. ("Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jerry Seinfeld!")
"The Chinese Woman"	He is seen as Frank Costanza's cape-wearing lawyer - who also talks Elaine's friend Noreen out of jumping off a bridge.
"The Switch"	He is heard as some guy on the street who exclaims "What do you say, Cosmo?" to Kramer as the K-Man walks down the street with his mother, Babs.
"The Gum"	He is seen as a vendor at a sidewalk window, from whom George tries to purchase a pack of gum.

Is that Larry David's voice for the "Grand Theft Auto" inmate who heckles - actually, threatens - Jerry in his prison stand-up routine at the end of "The Finale"? ("You suck! I'm gonna cut you!") I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

It might be his voice in "The Alternate Side" as that of the thief who stole Jerry's car, but it's not clear since he's heard only over the phone.

Possibly, in "The Lip Reader," it's his voice as the second announcer at the tennis match who mocks George: "Hey, buddy. They've got a new invention. It's called a napkin."

Also: Are my ears deceiving me, or is that his voice I fleetingly hear as that of the king in the movie "Checkmate" in "The Movie?"

In "The Raincoats," when Jerry's parents are about to depart on their flight an announcement is made on the public-address system: "Flight 433 now boarding for Miami, Gate 18A. Flight 433 now boarding." The voice over the loudspeaker sounds similar to David's.

In "The Cigar Store Indian," it sounds to me like it might be his voice as that of the subway conductor who announces, "Next stop ... Queensboro Plaza." At least, it does at the end of the episode. I'll make a conscious effort next time I watch that episode to listen more carefully.

Lastly, in "The Pen," two lines during Morty Seinfeld's honorary dinner are voiced by unseen individuals - possibly David - at the gathering, "Hey, Jack, let's get started!" and (to Jerry) "Who are you?"

What's the best way to decide who should do or have something?

Episode	Method	Comments
"The Robbery"	Flip a coin	Done between Jerry and George. The outcome was disputed.
"The Robbery"	Choose evens/odds	Done between Jerry and George. Jerry, who chose "odds," got the apartment in a best-three-out-of-five showdown. (It was Jerry/Jerry/George/Jerry.)
"The Statue"	One potato, two potato	This method was suggested by Kramer, but it was not used.
"The Statue"	Inka-dink	Done between Kramer and George. George, who was "it," got the statue.
"The Trip"	Call it	Done by George. George - not Jerry - got the window seat on their flight to Los Angeles.
"The Airport"	Experience vs. inexperience	Used between Jerry and Elaine to determine who would get to sit in the only remaining first-class seat. Since Elaine had never flown first-class, Jerry reasoned that she wouldn't know what she would be missing. So she was banished to a coach seat.
"The Stand-In"	Rock/paper/scissors	Done between Kramer and Mickey. It was a stand-off, since Mickey indicated to Kramer that rock beats everything.
"The Yada Yada"	Draw names from a hat	To determine which of the two girls that they picked up at the Gap each of them (Mickey and Kramer) should be paired up with, Mickey suggests that he and Kramer put the girls' names into a hat. This idea falls through because they don't even know their names! Elaine comes up with what appears to be a perfect solution: On their next date with the girls, Mickey and Kramer should show up early and sit across from each other. Then the girls will decide the pairing of couples by who each of them sits next to. That, too, fails, because the girls show up even earlier than Mickey and Kramer.
"The Slicer"	Experience vs. inexperience	Used between Kramer and Elaine to determine who would short out the circuit in Elaine's building with a paper clip. Kramer, who admitted to having used this technique before, got to show Elaine why it's no picnic. Oh, mama!
"The Betrayal"	Wishing on a wishbone	Done between Kramer and FDR. Kramer, who lost, got pelted in the face with a snowball by FDR.
"The Bookstore"	One spot, two spot	Done between Kramer and Newman. Newman got to sit in the rickshaw, which Kramer pulled.

Jerry also mentions "calling it" in one of his monologues in "The Robbery" as an ideal method of working out disagreements in the adult world.

In "The Lip Reader," it was questioned among the gang which individual should skip going to a party if a couple breaks up - the breaker or the breakee. Jerry and Kramer believed that the breaker should withdraw, because the breakee needs to get on with his life. Elaine took the opposing stance, indicating that the breaker is the loser and the breakee is the victor. And, as the saying goes, to the victor belongs the spoils. Regardless, both George and his former girlfriend, Gwen, went to the party.

Jerry's opening monologue of "The Conversion" states that "in any difference of opinion, pants always beats no-pants."

For the record, "One potato, two potato," "Inka-dink," and "One spot, two spot" are all basically the same method, albeit with different "jingles."

Episodes in which vomiting is depicted or mentioned:

Episode	Comments
"The Note"	Kramer mentions that he just visited his dentist, Roy, and that he threw up from the gas.
"The Dog"	George asks Elaine if she's ever seen Jerry throw up. They bond over the comedic back-biting of their common "friend."
"The Red Dot"	George indicates that, after having had sex with a cleaning woman on his desk, he threw up from the Hennigan's scotch he had drunk.
"The Fix-Up"	After having eaten together, Elaine's friend Cynthia asks her to order her a piece of cake, and that she's going to go throw up. Later in the episode, when George and Jerry are discussing the traits of his potential date, Cynthia, George indicates that he likes women who are sweet - but not too sweet, because you could throw up from that. Jerry confides to George, "I don't think you'll throw up. She likes to throw up."
"The Pitch"	Kramer, after having consumed some expired milk from Jerry's fridge, throws up on Susan.
"The Ticket"	The incident, in "The Pitch," of Kramer vomiting on Susan, is mentioned several times: George expects Kramer to pay Susan's dry-cleaning bill; later, he suggests to Jerry that the pilot of "Jerry" should be about vomiting on somebody's vest.
"The Shoes"	NBC president, Russell, after having eaten some pasta primavera - presumably that which Elaine had sneezed on - becomes violently ill when Jerry and George visit him to discuss the script of the "Jerry" pilot.
"The Masseuse"	Elaine indicates in a phone conversation with Jerry that her current boyfriend, Joel Rifkin, told her that he hadn't thrown up in eight years, causing her to wonder if he was normal. Jerry tells her that "eight years isn't such a long streak," and that he hasn't vomited in thirteen years - on June 29, 1980. Furthermore, he mentions that his previous vomit was exactly eight years to the day prior - on June 29, 1972 - relating that during the '80 vomit he was yelling to George, "Can you believe it? I'm vomiting on June 29th again."
"The Dinner Party"	Jerry, after eating a black-and-white cookie, feels like he's "got David Duke and Farrakhan down there." Needless to say, his vomit streak of nearly fourteen years - from June 29th, 1980 - goes down the drain.
"The Switch"	George suspects that his girlfriend is "refunding" the meals for which he is paying.
"The Doorman"	George mentions that he was throwing up all night from the sight of his father's large breasts.
"The Gum"	To prove that former mental patient Lloyd Braun is perfectly sane for requesting a movie-house hotdog, which the vendor indicates has been there "since the Silent Era," Kramer orders it for himself, and soon finds himself bringing it up on the sidewalk outside the theater.
"The Wait Out"	Jerry, a passenger at the mercy of aggressive driver Elaine, thinks to himself that he's so car-sick that he's going to vomit.
"The Invitations"	George, after putting on an act of cigarette-smoking in an attempt to turn off his fiancée, Susan, runs away in severe discomfort, apparently to vomit.
"The Butter Shave"	Jerry is so repulsed by the thought of George being a closet Kenny Bania fan, he says that he's going to puke - to which George reveals that he thinks that "puke" is a funny word. Later in the episode, to a second comment by Jerry about being about to puke, Bania mentions that he, too, thinks that it is a funny word.
"The Betrayal"	Elaine, to George's demand that she sleep with him, mentions that she just got off a twenty-three-hour plane ride, and that she's too tired to even vomit at the thought.
"The Puerto Rican Day"	Elaine urges Jerry to inch over to a one-way street heading in the opposite direction in order to get out of the parade-induced traffic jam, because the automobile exhausts make her feel as if she's going to throw up. Kramer suggests that she should make herself throw up, because she knows she's going to.

It might be a bit of an exaggeration when Jackie Chiles comments to the Seinfeld Four in "The Finale" that "you people have a little pet name for everybody," but there were quite a few such monickers in the series. Here they are:

Nickname/Alias	Episode(s)	Comments
Biff	"The Subway"	Jerry first compares George to Biff Loman, a character in the play "Death Of A Salesman," in "The Subway" when he reminds him before his job interview not to whistle on the elevator. (That's what Willie Loman told his son Biff before his interview.)
	"The Boyfriend"

Nip	"The Junior Mint"
Mulva	"The Junior Mint"
	"The Foundation"
"Crazy" Joe Davola	"The Pitch"

	"The Pilot"
The Pig Man	"The Bris"
The "It" Girl	"The Marine Biologist"	College-mate of Jerry and George, Diane DeCond, was known then by this term.
Poppie	"The Pie"	In his initial appearance, Poppie - presumably not his actual name, but the one by which he calls himself - is a hygenically-challenged restaurateur whose daughter is dating Jerry.
	"The Couch"	Kramer and Poppie plan to go into business together in order to bring Kramer's make-it-yourself pizza idea to fruition, but - in a fierce debate reminiscent of the abortion issue - they can't decide whether the customers should be allowed to choose any topping they want. For example, Kramer thinks cucumbers are O.K.; Poppie is vehemently opposed to such an unorthodox topping. Also, it is first revealed in this episode that Poppie is incontinent.
	"The Doorman"	Poppie's incontinence is highlighted again in his brief appearance in this episode.
	"The Maestro"	Poppie doesn't actually appear in this episode, but his name is mentioned, as well as the fact that he's a native of the Italian region of Tuscany. Jerry's curiosity is piqued when the Maestro mentions that there are no rooms available in Tuscany, so he contacts Poppie, who puts him in touch with his cousin.
	"The Finale"
Pachyderm	"The Stand-In"
The Velvet Fog	"The Jimmy"	This is the actual nickname of Mel Tormé, who guest-stars on this episode.
	"The Doodle"	George meets a woman who doesn't care what he looks like. In fact, she says, he could drape himself in velvet, for all she cares. Since this is one of his fantasies, he decides to carry it out, to Jerry's astonishment. Jerry, meanwhile, has been kicked out of his girlfriend's place because he wouldn't share her toothbrush, so he decides to stay with George, whom he terms "The Velvet Fog."
The Assman	"The Fusilli Jerry"
The Maestro	"The Maestro"	In this case the individual, whose real name is Bob Cobb, the conductor of the Policemen's Benevolent Band, insists on being called by his pseudonym.
	"The Doll"

Man-Hands	"The Bizarro Jerry"
Copernicus	"The Fatigues"
Big-Head	"The Andrea Doria"	When Elaine decides to dump her latest beau, Alan, a notorious "bad-breaker-upper," he calls her a "big-head." At first she dismisses the remark, but soon she believes that she really does have a big head. Well, as George mentions to the usher in "The Movie," she does have a face like a frying pan.
Chinless	"The Andrea Doria"	When George loses his dream apartment to the aforementioned "bad-breaker-upper," the guy's parting words to George are "Tough luck, chinless."
Susie	"The Susie"
"Fragile" Frankie Merman, The Summer George	"The Junk Mail"
Soda, Seven, Mug, Ketchup, Bisquick, Pimento, Gherkin, Sauce, Maxwell House, Six, Nine, Thirteen, Fourteen	"The Seven"	George suggests to Susan's expectant cousin Carrie the name Soda for her upcoming child. (Carrie and her husband Ken have narrowed down their list to such conventional names as Kimberly, Joan, and Pamela.) Later, George mentions to Susan that he would name his child Seven. It would be a living tribute to his idol, Mickey Mantle, whose uniform number was 7. Besides, "it's a beautiful name for a boy or a girl ... especially a girl ... or a boy." Needless to say, she doesn't agree with him. Jerry, too, is not enamored of this name, and he suggests several names for a potential Costanza offspring - Mug ... Maxwell House. Interestingly enough, when Susan passes along the name Seven to her cousin, Carrie and Ken, who are both big Mickey Mantle fans, fall in love with it - much to George's chagrin. When she starts going into labor in his presence, he frantically offers alternate number-names: Six, Nine, Thirteen, and Fourteen
The Sidler	"The Merv Griffin Show"
Pimple-Popper MD	"The Slicer"
Slippery Pete	"The Frogger"
Son of Dad	"The Frogger"
T-Bone, Koko, Gammy	"The Maid"	George has an idea to nickname himself "T-Bone," but his Kruger co-workers put the kibosh on that plan. After believing that George's arm-flailing reminds him of a monkey, Mr. Kruger dubs him "Koko." (His colleagues even give him a shirt emblazoned with the letters "OO" ... as in "Oo-oo, ah-ah.") To rid himself of that nickname, he hires a woman whose name actually is Coco. But when she starts relating a story about her Gammy, George finds himself with that handle.
Maroon Golf	"The Puerto Rican Day"
Black Saab	"The Puerto Rican Day"
Father O'Gimpy	"The Puerto Rican Day"
The Virgin	"The Finale"	Although this character appears in two other episodes - Marla was Jerry's girlfriend in "The Virgin" and "The Contest" - she is not referred to in this way until "The Finale." (In those other episodes she was said to be a virgin, but not The Virgin. By the same token, Jerry's girlfriend, Gwen, in "The Strike" was referred to as a two-face, not Two-Face.)
George Bonanza	"The Watch"	The doorman of Russell Dalrimple's building mistakenly refers to George by this name.
Mr. Apple	"The Strongbox"	George's girlfriend Maura talks to her food - Mr. Apple, Mr. Mashed Potatoes, etc.

There aren't many instances of it, to be sure, but there are several pairs of characters which have the same first name. Consider what might have happened if these individuals had met. Read on:

Name	Episodes	Comments
Roy	"The Note" "The Junior Mint"	The dentist could have sliced up, er, performed oral surgery on the "fat bastard."
Sid	"The Alternate Side" "The Parking Space" "The Old Man" "The Sniffing Accountant" "The Doorman"	The alternate-side parker could have moved bra salesman Farkus' car from one side of the street to the other while Sid Fields sat in the back seat complaining.
Tim	"The Implant" "The Old Man"	The brother of George's girlfriend, Betsy, could have chided Sid Fields's son for double-dipping the old man's records.
Tony	"The Stall" "The Bottle Deposit"	The "mimbo" could have had his car stolen by the car mechanic.
George	"The Opposite" etc.	Costanza worked for Steinbrenner in the Yankee organization for several years. In "The Jimmy," the writers use the Georges' shared name to comedic advantage when Costanza talks in the first person to the befuddlement of Steinbrenner.
Frank	"The Handicap Spot" etc.	Frank Costanza and "Fragile" Frankie Merman briefly crossed paths with each other in "The Junk Mail."
Gwen	"The Lip Reader" "The Strike"	George's ex-girlfriend could have spoken with Jerry's two-faced girlfriend in a booth at Monk's, and the beautiful lineswoman - Laura, not Gwen - could have lip-read their conversation from afar.
Sheila	"The Soup Nazi" "The Package"	Jerry's girlfriend-of-the-week Sheila and "Photo-store" Sheila could have discussed which one of them is "Shmoopie."
Nina	"The Switch" "The Betrayal"	Both were girlfriends of George - one was a possible meal-refunder, the other one previously slept with Jerry.
Sandi/Sandy	"The Pilot" "The Switch" "The Strike"	Sandi Robbins (TV Elaine); Sandi, Jerry's humorless girlfriend; Sandy, one of George's co-workers at Kruger Industrial Smoothing.
Celia	"The Little Jerry" "The Merv Griffin Show"	George's convict girlfriend could have put Jerry's girlfriend to sleep in order to steal all of her vintage toys.
Barry	"The Sniffing Accountant" "The Face Painter"	Jerry's accountant Barry Proffitt could have sniffed at chimpanzee Barry, who could have spit back at him.
Ben	"The Old Man" "The Abstinence"	Elaine's "doctor" boyfriend could have treated George's 85-year-old charge, Mr. Cantwell, in his waning days.
Fred	"The Pick" "The Secret Code"	Elaine's religious boyfriend could have met the guy with the selective memory.
Ricky	"The Cigar Store Indian" "The Pie" "The Cheever Letters"	The television-and-Elaine-obsessed one could have designed a mannequin of Susan Ross's brother.
Todd	"The Lip Reader" "The Calzone"	Todd who introduced George to his girlfriend Gwen; Elaine's "dating loophole" guy, Todd Gack.

There have been more than a few instances of characters lifting stuff from the trash:

Episode	Comments
"The Ticket"	Uncle Leo, after having being brushed off by Jerry, picks up the watch which Jerry just tossed into a garbage receptacle.
"The Watch"	Uncle Leo picks up the wallet - with money inside - which Jerry's father just tossed into a garbage receptacle.
"The Pledge Drive"	The Channel 13 pledge drive coordinator, Kristin, spies the thank-you card which she sent to him several days earlier, takes it out, and makes a big issue about how he didn't save it.
"The Gymnast"	George notices an hardly-eaten éclair at the top of the garbage, and proceeds to consume it - much to the disgust of his latest girlfriend's mother.
"The Bottle Deposit"	Kramer and Newman collect empty bottles and cans from every conceivable place, including trash cans.
"The Comeback"	Jerry throws his old tennis racket in the trash, which Kramer fishes back out. (Thanks to Dan H. for this one.)
"The Merv Griffin Show"	Kramer is elated at having found the set from the old "Merv Griffin Show."
"The Strongbox"	Elaine's love interest is poor, and goes rummaging through a garbage bag behind an eatery. He hits a jackpot when he discovers a bear claw.

Episodes in which the term "black-and-white" has been used:

Episode	Comments
"The Trip"	Jerry refers to a police car as a "black-and-white." Why? Because he thought it sounded kind of cool.
"The Dinner Party"	Jerry purchases a black-and-white cookie at a bakery, and he makes an analogy of two races of flavor living side-by-side in harmony. Unfortunately, the cookie doesn't sit well with him - it was like he had David Duke and Farrakhan in his stomach - causing his 14-year vomit streak to end.
"The Raincoats"	Jerry didn't even realize that the movie "Schindler's List" was in black and white, because he was making out with his girlfriend Rachel throughout the film's showing.
"The Understudy"	The bed-ridden Bette Midler orders Kramer to get her a black-and-white cookie, among other items.
"The Seven"	Jerry meets a girl, Christie, in an antiques store. But her wardrobe vexes him: Each time he sees her, she is wearing the same black-and-white dress. Is she wearing the same thing over and over again, or does she have a closet full of these dresses?
