The Jimmy

Episode Number: 105    Season Num: 6    First Aired: Thursday March 16, 1995    Prod Code: 617
The guys play a game of basketball with "the Jimmy," a man who talks about himself in the third person. Jimmy sells odd shaped training shoes and George is an interested investor. Fresh from the gym, he attends a Yankees meeting about thefts, during which he sweats profusely. Jerry goes to the dental office and discovers they now carry Penthouse in the waiting room. Elaine gets tickets to a benefit for the AMCA (Able Mentally Challenged Adults) featuring Mel Torme, the "Velvet Fog." Elaine tries to meet a handsome guy at the gym, but instead talks with "the Jimmy," who makes the date for himself. On a follow-up visit to the dental office, Jerry feels the dentist and his hygienist may have lived out a fantasy during his time in the chair, the type of thing you might read in Penthouse. Kramer has a visit to the dentist complete with Novocain, later while wearing a pair of Jimmy's shoes, winds up getting a him a seat at the main table of the benefit.

Trivia

add »
This episode marks the first appearence of George's boss Mr. Wilhelm. (edit)
Kramer takes some food out of Jerry's fridge and asks what it is, and Jerry tells him it's Kung Pao. Then later, when George tells Jerry that he was sweating from the Kung Pao, Jerry says that he doesn't understand how George can eat spicy chicken. If Jerry doesn't understand how George can eat spicy chicken, why does he have some of his own in his fridge? Because George had brought in a package and put it in Jerry's fridge, it's possible that the chicken Kramer eats is actually George's also. But if that's the case, how does Jerry know that it's Kung Pao? George never said so. (edit)
Kramer says that when he met the man in the cab, he had just come from "The Y" (YMCA). However, when the outside of the health club is shown, the sign says "New York Health Club." (edit)
Small Blooper: In the first scene in Jerry's Apartment... When Kramer walks in, he closes the door, but later in the scene, the door is open. Then even later in the scene, the door is closed again as George walks. (edit)
Kramer tells George that he only uses cold water.. George replies by saying it's for insane people.. However in "The Heart Attack" Kramer already tells Jerry and George that he's off hot water.. so why is this new for George? (edit)
