  9.1 Superb

  i only have George's plot written down, maybe Jerry's too...or not. hide show

  George was hysterical when he's obsessed with how Jerry's girlfriend dislikes him for his strange behavior. It was pathetic and funny while watching him with his attempts to get her to like him (This woman hates me so much, I think I'm attracted to her).
  Another great moment about this episode was how angry George's girlfriend was getting because she was getting fed up with him talking about his problem. Eventually, she dumps the poor fool.
  This is why George Costanza is my most favorite Seinfeld character. He's a loser, nobody really likes him, even Kramer doesn't want anything to do with him. He never has anything going for him. George has a big mouth, doesn't care what he says, and he has no idea when to shut up. He's self-centered, doesn't think about other peoples' problems.
  Good stuff.
  I'll continue to watch this re-runned classic.

  Do you agree?

Episode Cast and Crew Details

• Goof: When Elaine mentions she has an extra ticket to the Giants game, Kramer says that he'll go and Elaine replies that she'll leave a ticket for him at will call. Later, when Kramer goes to retrieve the ticket, he has no I.D. and the attendant says he would need confirmation from the person who left the ticket.
  
  If Elaine was the one who left the ticket at will call, they would not have broadcasted Joel's name over the loudspeaker. [edit]
• According to many crossovers, the universes of Cheers and Seinfeld are the same; however, Anthony Cistaro's characters in both shows are different. [edit]
• Kramer is trying to get into the football game but in season 6's "The Label Maker" Jerry said that Kramer only likes Canadian football. [edit]

• The football game footage used is from a Philadelphia Eagles-New York Giants game on September 9, 1990. A giveaway that the footage is obsolete is the visibility of Eagles' #99, DE Jerome Brown, who died in a car crash in the summer of 1992. [edit]
• Jerry mentions his streak of not throwing up, a streak that finally ends a couple episodes later in "The Dinner Party". [edit]
• In this episode Jerry calls George "a bad seed" when his girlfriend is complaining about him. Elaine will refer to George as "a bad seed" again in 804 "The Little Kicks." [edit]

• Karen: Does everybody in the world have to like you?
  George: Yes, yes! Everybody in the world has to like me! I must be liked! [edit]
• Kramer: What about my massage?!
  Jerry: Ask Newman. [edit]
• Kramer: (after Jerry orders him to stay away from his girlfriend) Wait a minute! I need my massages! Can't you see I'm burned out? [edit]

• There are currently no allusions. Add allusions!
