Ok, watching The Pilot and there's all sorts of wild stuff happening here that I've never really digested.

 

1. Kramer (known as Kessler at this point) apparently has a dog that shoots into the scene for a couple of seconds.  He also has apparently "never been out of the building in 10 years".

2. Jerry has a dart board right by the front door and a catcher's mask hanging on his coat rack.

3. George talks about how he wishes he could do the opposite of everything (which became one of the greatest episodes ever, years later)

4. The whole first half of the episode takes place outside of the apartment, which we would come to know and love.

5. Another airport scene (meeting the woman who flew in to meet him - Laura - good trivia), going back to my question from upthread about airport scenes.

6. Very presumptuous of her to tell her fiancee Jerry's home number (the phone number of a host who she has never stayed with and her fiancee has never met), but maybe that was just life before cell phones.

 

And then it just ends.  That's the joke at the end.  "Never get engaged".  Ok.  Not sure I'm going to watch this show again.

 

 

One of the greatest callbacks of the show is how they ended the final episode the way they began the first... with the conversation about the button.

Tell him you have the crabs… he was in the military, he’ll understand

This is the signal, Jerry, this is the signal!

The weirdest part of the pilot to me is that George is right, there has to be a bunch of decent hotel rooms in New York City, since she was already in a relationship, why did she want to stay in Jerry’s little apartment?

Yeah.  The first couple of seasons have a lot of flaws.  They were still trying to figure it out in the writer's room.  "What writer?  I thought we were talking about a sitcom?"

[4th&Five 41900]

Maybe the pervert in the park had a present in his pants, huh?

[WBT 20879]

How'd you know about the guy in the park?

[Biff Tannen 46060]

They should call it Round-tine.

Remember my friend Adam from Detroit?

Yeah, the guy with the flat head?

He's a cube!

Honestly, I think the Finale has aged fine.  No, it wasn't great, but compared to the spectacular failure of later finales like Game of Thrones, Lost, etc, the Seinfeld finale seems perfectly fine to me.

['stache 22115]

I think the finale in concept was fine just too many call back clips making it feel like a clip show schedule filler from that era and not the end of one of the most iconic shows in TV history.

[WBT 20879]

Tempting...would be a fine addition to my archives

¡Adios muchacho!

gazpacho por favor

[Biff Tannen 46060]

Sounds like someone is having a bad day.

Yeah, because of you.

Well, then I think one of us should leave.

[WBT 20879]

I never had a really good pickle

[WBT 20879]

You want in?  You've got to give us odds, at least 2 to 1.  You have to put up $200.

No, a thousand!

For George?  Begins and ends with Jane topless in the Hamptons episode. I think. 

[futureman 22664]

[HornOnTheBayou 9056]

Well, if she was a criminal and you had to describe her to a police sketch artist.

They'd pick her up in about 10 minutes.

[Biff Tannen 46060]

You’re quite breathtaking. 

[Kel Varnsen 8682]

No, I'm not joking. She looks like Lyndon Johnson

[Biff Tannen 46060]

When Jane comes up on the deck topless and turns to go inside, you can see the pasties over her nips. 

[pokeNbeans 204]

 Bernie, look who's eating at six o'clock. Your suddenly well-to-do president.

[Biff Tannen 46060]

We’ll see about that. 
Yes we WILL

[Kel Varnsen 8682]

God-speed YGIFS. Didn't know you in real life, but with your love and knowledge of Seinfeld, I know you must have been a hell of a guy! I wish I would have had the chance to hang out with you.... maybe in the next one... 

[4th&Five 41900]

Arrivederci my fellow 40-short.
 

Seriously though this sucks. RIP. 

[futureman 22664]

he’s not really dead if we find a way to remember him.

[Biff Tannen 46060]

Wait wut 

[Biff Tannen 46060]

Shit. That fucking sucks. 

[WBT 20879]

Poor Lily.

 

Man this sucks.  RIP.

 

[Biff Tannen 46060]

Cross posting because I think he would find it funny. RIP my Seinfeld brother.

We should set up a scholarship in his name, and award it to an aspiring city planner.
