Seinfeld "Sufferings"

Newch91

One of my favorite Frank Costanza moments ever. His delivery on this is so perfect. This always cracks me up because it's so true how awful of a trade it was. I love Larry writing in his Yankee thoughts into the show.

"What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?! He had 30 home runs, over 100 RBIs last year! He's got a rocket for an arm... You don't know what the hell you're doing!""

This has happened with me numerous times, with my parents and with my friends. I always make sure we get the booth and we're not moving. Don't care if there is a draft or not.

[Setting: Coffee shop]

(George is at the coffee shop with his parents)

GEORGE: So, uh, Mom, Dad, I was hoping that you could help me to remember my childhood a little clearly..

ESTELLE: I feel a draft. (Grabs the bread basket and her drink) Let's change tables.

FRANK: Get outta here! We have a booth.

ESTELLE: Frank, I'm cold!

FRANK: Order a hot dish.

ESTELLE: Why can't we sit over there? (Points to a table)

FRANK: (Yelling) That's not a booth!

ESTELLE: (Trying to match Frank's loudness) So, who says we have to sit in a booth?!

FRANK: (Loud shouting) I didn't take the subway all the way to New York to sit at a table like that! (Gestures to the table)

ESTELLE: (Nagging yell) Well, I didn't take the subway to be in a drafty restaurant!

(A moment passes)

GEORGE: (Pleading for them to stop) Mom.. dad.

FRANK: Now, George, what do you want to know about your childhood?

GEORGE: (Fed up with his parents) Actually, I think I'm pretty clear on it.

FRANK: (Looks up) Where's that breeze coming from?

(Scene ends)

"Do women know about shrinkage?" Got a feeling George thinks it on the way to the Hamptons???

Hey I gotta put in an official protest, I got the quote about George touching breasts first!!! I put it in straight after Hughs question so didnt bother to quote his post!

Anyway, got a serious question for any fanatics that may know some trivia...Jerry and George first run into Crazy joe davola at the tv studio...I think Joe said he is dropping off a script?

On the credits of that series called Smallville...I think it says as a producer or executive producer or something like that...the name Joe Davola comes up...is this the person they based the Crazy Joe character on???

Thanks for the links...I assume that means Joe Davola isnt based on anyone...but he does exist...I dont know how to do those links but if you go to the wikipedia page of Smallville, listed as executive producers are the names Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola

Jerry Seinfeld is hoping to return to TV in a new reality series, The Daily's official blog reveals.

The "Seinfeld" actor will show off his love for the auto industry in the upcoming program "Comics and Cars."

Bing: Rob Kardashian joins reality dating show

The 58-year-old will team up with his pals Alec Baldwin, Ricky Gervais and former writing partner Larry David to test-drive cars from their youth and trade stories and laughs.

The project has not yet been picked up by a network, but the news should come as no surprise to fans, since the stand-up comedian has been dropping hints about the gig over the last several weeks on Twitter.

In a series of tweets, he wrote, "Working on my New Thing. Shooting in Manhattan with the Great @alecbaldwin ... New Seiny Gig Update: Always lovable Ricky Gervais and myself shooting today in City Island, NY ... Seiny and LD back together again? What could this mean? Here's a clue: A 1952 VW."

Seinfeld has largely remained absent from the small screen since his self-titled series went off the air in 1998, only making occasional cameos in such shows as "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "30 Rock."

there have been several minor characters that have had names that are taken directly from the show's production staff. for instance, Alec Burg (the guy who gives Jerry the playoff tickets in the episode where Gary Fogal's funeral happens-Jerry says he has a great John Housman name-"what can I get for you...Mr Buuuuuuuurg), is actually listed as a producer of that episode.

Same with that kid who George picks for the scholarship from the Susan Ross Foundation, the character's name escapes me at the moment, but that name is listed in the credits as a grip or something.

And that's just two that I've noticed and/or can recall at the moment.

Steven Koren...one of the season 8-9 writers.

Thanks heaps for the info Hugh...it seemed like such a big coincidence...of course there are no big coincidences or small coincidences, just coincidences!
