TRIVIA

  • When Jerry decides to get his car into a garage because the fight starts in two minutes, he leaves the car door ajar yet when we cut back to it an instant later the door is closed. edit »
  • In reply to the goof about Mike standing on left side of Newman, than right side with Newman wearing hat: That is because you watched the episode in syndication. As stated before, in the scene George is talking to a woman and Newman asks for the hat, George than angrily gives Newman the hat and Newman walks over to the other side. edit »
  • Concerning the missing scene, there are a couple minutes missing from any episode shown in synidcation as they create more room for commercial time. edit »
  • Towards the end of the episode, Mike says to Newman, "What are you asking this guy for?". When he says this, he is on the left side of Newman. Then, in the next shot, he's on the right side of Newman, and Newman is wearing a hat that he didn't have in the previous shot. edit »
  • When Kramer hits his head on the blinds in Jerry's apartment, he raises his left hand to his head. In the shot right after that, his right arm is in the air, not the left one. edit »
  • When George gets out of the car to see who steals his parking space, he opens the door and is about half way out of the car when it cuts to the next shot inside. In this shot, he's still sittng there with his whole body in the car. edit »
  • an entire scene is missing: George and a woman are talking as Newman approaches and asks about his new hat; the two argue and the woman insists nothing is wrong and to let Newman see it... George gets angry and says (and I mis-quote) 'Nothing's wrong, here's what's wrong' as he removes his hat revealing his baldness, the woman then walks away. on TBS where I most recently saw this, that scene was replaced with the 'Closed Captioning sponsor (AOL) ad'. edit »
  • There is a continuity error on a scene where they show George and Elaine exiting the car on a long shot, then they do it again on the close-up. edit »

    Kramer: Are you sure you're not pregnant?
    Maryedith: Yes, I'm sure!
    Kramer: That's weird.
    Maryedith: Come on, Matthew.
    Matthew: No.
    Maryedith: Come on, Matthew!
    (She starts to walk away with Matthew)

  • Elaine: Ouch, my cuticle! edit »
  • George: You don't understand. A garage, I can't even pull in there. It's like going to a prostitute. Why should I pay, when if I apply myself, maybe I could get it for free? edit »
  • George: I really think it looks good.
    Elaine: Ten bucks, how can you go wrong?
    George: All bald people look good in hats.

  • Newman: Chaos--it reduces us to jungle law. edit »

NOTES

  • Since a good amount of the episode was filmed outside (with a live audience that could not hear the actors), the night effect is actually a matter of the actual time and not part of the script. Additionally, if you look closely around when Jerry is talking to Matthew (the little boy we would see later on in the series) you can see the change from day to night. edit »
  • Seinfeld's college friend Mike Costanza, who served as a partial model of the character (and name) of George Costanza, appears as an angry truck driver in this episode. edit »
  • When Jerry goes back up to tune into the fight, you can hear Larry David's voice doing the K.O. count. edit »
  • Maryedith Burrell is reunited with Fridays stars Michael Richards and Larry David in this episode. edit »
  • Viewer Fabio Sciola notes that this is the episode where George mentions again that he has a brother. However, he hasn't mentioned this brother since this episode. At least that I am aware of. edit »

ALLUSIONS

  • Jerry sees George wearing a fedora and calls him "Indiana." This is a reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark's Indiana Jones and his trademark fedora:
    Mike: Hey, Jerry! Long time no see!
    Jerry: Hi, Mike. (sees George in fedora) Indiana. edit »
