I did a binge and watched them all since it went on Netflix. Its amazing how some things still make me laugh out loud, even after seeing them a thousand times. It's also fascinating seeing the episodes that weren't as popular and not shown as often on reruns, and you go...ehhh, yea I can see why. There aren't many, but there is the occasional rough episode.
As selfish as this is, if there’s people outside a grocery story asking for donations, I look down towards the ground as if my life is in shambles and they generally don’t bother addressing me
That Costanza pearl of wisdom is a favorite of mine, I practice it all the time and tell people about it too, its brilliant.
If you work in an office setting where people have specialized jobs and little direct supervision, you are always going to have people speculating if you do anything and if you are getting paid too much. Acting irritated or flustered will have them thinking you are the backbone of the operation.
Rewatching the whole series lately - really perplexed as to why George is always surrounded by attractive women. They wrote him as a loser, and not particularly likeable, and yet there are always handfuls of successful, good looking women presenting themselves as options for him to somehow fritter away. I get that its a sitcom, and the 90s, but that aspect of it is just a real stretch in retrospect
Asking that is like asking how Kramer afforded to live in a Midtown apartment alone while Elaine had a roommate in the early years.
I don't usually seek locations from shows or movies but when I went to New York City I sought out some of the Seinfeld landmarks. I was disappointed that there is no way George can leave Yankee stadium for lunch in midtown and be back in time.
I think it works for George in that he's the guy that will luck his way into something great and inevitably mess it up, watching him mess up is far more enjoyable and realistic than seeing him try and get a date.
Yeah, we see George on a lot of first dates or if he was lucky he would manipulate his way to a second or third. I always would imagine he told some massive lies about his financial status or career to get the first dates and then the women would see what a loser he was when they showed up and never see him again.
I didn't bother going inside. I wildly underestimated the walk and was annoyed by the time I found it. I went to 1st and 1st, which Kramer called "the nexus of the universe", but it was nothing. Then I realized the joke about the street intersecting with itself didn't even make sense since it was streets versus avenues and there would be a 2nd and 2nd, 3rd and and 3rd, and so on.
My friends and I once discussed this in terms of the episode where Jerry and Kramer take George's car for a car wash from the Yankee Stadium parking lot. They see Sue Ellen Mischke wearing the bra as a top walking the streets. So... Sue Ellen is either walking around an unsavory part of The Bronx in midday for some random reason or they took his car all the way to the Upper West Side of Manhattan in the middle of a weekday... which isn't like a total stretch but it's unlikely. Seinfeld geography almost never makes sense lol
No longer active but some great modern day Seinfeld plots https://twitter.com/SeinfeldToday?t=dpD4nyZXsLJ7BElF11ZXCw&s=09
