Jane Leeves would be best known for her role in Frasier as Daphne Moon, in 1993. (edit) Following the broadcast of this episode Michael Richards played Kramer on an episode of Mad About You. It starred Paul Reiser & Helen Hunt. In the episode called "The Apartment," Reiser must get rid of his old apartment, that it seems Kramer has been subletting from him. However, in the first episode of the seventh season, George and Susan are seen watching and commenting on an episode of Mad About You. See also the NOTE associated with "Good News, Bad News." (edit)

George: Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in! (edit) Elaine: This whole sex thing is totally overrated. Now, the one thing you gotta be ready for is how the man changes into a completely different person five seconds after it's over. I mean, something happens to their personality. It's really quite astounding. It's like they committed a crime and they want to flee the scene before the police get there. (edit) George: She's got a big crush on David Letterman, I mean a big crush. She talks about him all the time. Suppose I go up to David Letterman. He works at NBC, I work at NBC. I explain my situation. He agrees to meet her. They go out. They fall madly in love. And she dumps me for David Letterman! (edit) (George just found out that Susan was fired)
George: This is great! He fired her! This is incredible, he fired her. I'm out, baby! I'm out!
Jerry: Why did he fire her?
George: Because I kissed her in the meeting. Russell found out, he fired her over the phone. Finally, my stupidity pays off! (edit) Elaine: Marla and I went out for coffee and afterwards I was crossing the street and he was biking right towards me. So I got out of the way just in time, but then he ran into a parked car. He hit his head and everything went flying.
George: Something happened to the food?!! (edit)

Jerry: (referring to George) Yes, I was very wise to hitch my wagon to his star.

Jerry says the line facetiously, but in reality, it may indeed have been a wise decision. The idea for a show about nothing was George's; Jerry's first pitch to the NBC executives about the Chinese restaurant was first suggested by George as an example of a "nothing" show; the Butler idea which is ultimately approved was George's. What's more, George's relationship with Susan and her resultant support is what finally convinced Russell to take a chance on them. (edit) While George is in the hall talking to David Letterman, Jerry pitches the 'butler' premise to the NBC executives. Although George originally suggested that his character get the butler, Jerry pitches it that he gets the butler. The executives love it and George enters while everyone is laughing. George then says quietly to Jerry, "I thought I was getting the butler." How does he know that Jerry switched it? He was out of the room at the time. (edit) When Jerry tries to convince Marla to sleep with him he says about Elaine that she literally comes from a broken home because a tree once fell into the roof - but her parents got along beautiful.
In 2-8 (The Jacket) Alton Benes asks Elaine "How's your mother" - which says that they did'nt get along as beautiful as mentioned. (edit) In episode 2-9, "The Deal", Jerry tries to leave Elaine's house after having sex, while she stays at his. In this episode, Jerry asks Elaine if he ever left after sex and she said he would if she didn't leave first. Who leaves after sex?! (edit)

George: Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in.
George is misquoting Michael Corleone, Al Pacino's character from Godfather III. The actual quote is "Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in." (edit)
