    As Jerry and Elaine separately try to talk David and Beth Lookner from reconciling, what do they each say happened to them when they were 9?

     I agree with Mookie, I think it would be extremely difficult to find even one episode that would work in modern times. I guess the same can be said for most shows before cell phones and stuff but Seinfeld sticks out more than the others to me.  
    I think most would work just fine. I don’t see how The Contest would be any different with cell phones. Or Elaine having faked her orgasms with Jerry. I guess maybe Jerry sends a group text to his exes asking if he gave them orgasms rather than calling them one by one, but the storyline doesn’t change. Most of the storylines would still work. Even if some of the particulars wouldn’t. Something like Jerry and George losing touch on the highway in the Bubble Boy wouldn’t work with cell phones. But they could do the story of “Jerry is supposed to meet this Bubble Boy but George ends up there instead” by a different means. 
    The one where George tries to replace the tape of his girlfriend's answering machine would be kinda tough in 2023.

    He asked for untucked, but she tucked them....much to Jerry's delight. 
    I have never been able to determine what Jerry says at the moment, where he's obviously satisfied and then rolls over to go back to sleep. anyone?

    I never got the tucked/untucked thing until last night. My hotel bed was so tucked so tight I literally had to walk around the whole bed and untuck it myself. 
    I loved that episode for that sequence alone. especially with george's physical explanation of his feet. it resonates deeply with this 6 footer.

    The line is "It's so nice when it happens good."  Jerry actually explains it's origins in the DVD extras. The 2:38 mark of this video....

    Well yeah there's several plot points and even some full stories (like the movie theater) that wouldn't work. But Juggler said "it would be extremely difficult to find even one episode that would work in modern times," and that's just wrong.

    I haven’t but maybe I’ll check it out. I haven’t had much success with Seinfeld books. I’ve gotten some in the past that I didn’t think were very good. I’d love and official book in the vein of The Beatles Anthology. Told by the people that were there…but I guess the DVDs kinda cover all that. 
    Yeah that is what I was looking for too and not sure it exists. But from what I found, this one appears to be the closest thing out there at the moment. 
    Actually, I think it would make for a perfect birthday gift for my sister, whose birthday is next month. I'm gonna grab it on Amazon. Read some or all of it myself before giving it to her. Thanks for the recommendation. 
    You're not a book trophy guy, eh? 
    Actually I am. And I'm in the process of moving and books took up way too many boxes. Books, magazines, Pearl Jam stuff, and more commemorative 2008 Phillies publications than any normal person needs.

    I think most would work just fine. I don’t see how The Contest would be any different with cell phones. Or Elaine having faked her orgasms with Jerry. I guess maybe Jerry sends a group text to his exes asking if he gave them orgasms rather than calling them one by one, but the storyline doesn’t change. Most of the storylines would still work. Even if some of the particulars wouldn’t. Something like Jerry and George losing touch on the highway in the Bubble Boy wouldn’t work with cell phones. But they could do the story of “Jerry is supposed to meet this Bubble Boy but George ends up there instead” by a different means. 
    The one where George tries to replace the tape of his girlfriend's answering machine would be kinda tough in 2023.
    the movie theatre fiasco also never would happen today. 
    Well yeah there's several plot points and even some full stories (like the movie theater) that wouldn't work. But Juggler said "it would be extremely difficult to find even one episode that would work in modern times," and that's just wrong. 
    true. I found it weird how they introduced cell phone use for the first time in the series finale. 
    There was one more time before that. Kramer uses a cell phone to call Jerry in The Bottle Deposit when he and Newman are trailing the mechanic that stole Jerry's car. 
    Was that a cell phone, or a car phone?

    I feel like Jerry used a car phone in quite a few episodes. They were different than cell phones right? I never had a car phone so not quite sure

    As Jerry and Elaine separately try to talk David and Beth Lookner from reconciling, what do they each say happened to them when they were 9?
    This is a great question. I have no idea. 
    Elaine explains that her father left them when she was 9, and so has a fear of abandonment.  Nauseous Jerry’s problem?  He really wanted these all black handball sneakers, but they only came in adult sizes. So, you know, he never got them.

    I remember Jerry saying "I never got them" but couldn't remember anything else.  Great question!  

    I'm really happy to see some movement on this thread, too!

    Yes. They had cords. So big as well.

    In "The Calzone," Jerry thinks he's getting Cuban cigars but instead gets a "producto de Peru" (Jerry, upon smoking one, says "its like trying to smoke a chicken bone.").

    Name at least two other negative situations involving a cigar that happen on the show.

    Bonus: who gave Jerry the Peruvian cigars?

    Go!
