dunno if Puddy is considered a secondary character but he's the best minor character in this

Last flight I took I saw a guy just staring straight ahead for the whole flight, not even wearing earphones, and I kept thinking of Puddy and giggling.

Absolutely one of the best exchanges in the history of the show. I crack up every time. From “The Parking Garage”:
ELAINE: “And now he's gone. I'm sure he's looking for the car. Five minutes, that's all. I just want to find him.”MAN #1: “I can't do it.”ELAINE: “But why? Why can't you do it?”MAN #1: “… I can't.”ELAINE: “No, see that's not a reason you can't. You just don't want to.”MAN #1: “… That's right.”ELAINE: “But why? Why don't you want to?”MAN #1: “I don't know.”ELAINE: “But wouldn't you get any satisfaction out of helping someone out?”MAN #1: “No, I wouldn't.”
MAN #1: “I can't do it.”
ELAINE: “But why? Why can't you do it?”
MAN #1: “… I can't.”
ELAINE: “No, see that's not a reason you can't. You just don't want to.”
MAN #1: “… That's right.”
ELAINE: “But why? Why don't you want to?”
MAN #1: “I don't know.”
ELAINE: “But wouldn't you get any satisfaction out of helping someone out?”
MAN #1: “No, I wouldn't.”
It feels pointless to write it out here because so much of the brilliance is in the delivery.

And then she shows up at Jerry's place, hair in face, to give a stirring account of how she *almost* got him there in time: "Gentlemen, I assure you--" What's the rest?

been rewatching a few episodes and god damn Jerry is somehow even a worse actor than I remembered
― frogbs, Monday, 27 December 2021 00:43 (three years ago)
He's not a good actor but he's also not trying to "act" really. Jason and Julia are trying to be believable, even in ridiculous situations but Jerry is always showing an awareness that he's a character in a scripted show.

I had an epiphany last night that Seinfeld did to the sitcom what Letterman did to the late night talk show.

The Seinfeld Theme Mixed With A Hit Song From Every Year Seinfeld Was On TVhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY9axZBUUlo

― The creator of Ultra Games, for Nintendo (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 3 February 2022 15:22 (three years ago)
one of my favorite videos is the composer of that theme (Jonathan Wolff) talking about how it came together and why it's different from episode to episode; long story short he's trying to match Jerry's stand-up rhythms. I'm surprised it goes so well with apparently everything
― frogbs, Thursday, 3 February 2022 16:35 (three years ago)
Wow it really is

xpost tbf they do a lot of either resequencing the slap-bass notes, or performing/programming their own... so that it's not the Seinfeld theme so much as its arrangement/tempo.
― The creator of Ultra Games, for Nintendo (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 3 February 2022 17:52 (three years ago)
That video with the composer completely blew my mind when I saw it. I would have sworn up and down it was the same recording every ep, I cant believe I never previously noticed that they're all completely different & unique.

The gym had Seinfeld playing while I was on the treadmill this afternoon; subtitles, no sound. It was the Soup Nazi episode. They had a certain level of genius on that show in terms of how economical it was. Within the first two-and-a-half, three minutes, they've introduced Schmoopy, the Soup Nazi, and the armoire--two of the most famous subplots ever, and a third that's pretty great too. They even manage to work in Bania for a few seconds.

I won't play the relevant clip, which probably doesn't date especially well, but when they were doing roll call for the McCarthy vote, "Cartwright?" made me laugh.

Seinfeld hints at redoing of finale (I tried to post link to Guardian article but ilx didn't like the link)
“I think the thing about finales is everybody writes their own finale in their head, whereas if they just tune in during the week to a normal show, they’re surprised by what’s going on. They haven’t written it beforehand, they don’t know what the show is,”
For me that wasn't the issue. The issue was that the finale just wasn't funny at all.
― Ste, Tuesday, 10 October 2023 07:45 (one year ago)
redoing? like re-editing?
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 10 October 2023 07:55 (one year ago)
From the article:
In response to a question from an audience member during his standup show at the Wang Theatre in Boston on Saturday, the comedian teased that a re-envisioned finale may be in the works.
Seinfeld was asked whether he liked the TV sitcom’s finale. “Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending. But I can’t really tell it because it is a secret,” he responded.
“Here’s what I’ll tell you, OK, but you can’t tell anybody. Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. Hasn’t happened yet,” Seinfeld said to loud gasps and applause.
― Ste, Tuesday, 10 October 2023 08:06 (one year ago)
Ahh maybe they shot a couple of different endings
