Notes and Trivia

Megan Mullally, who plays "Betsy", is one of the actors that auditioned for the role of Elaine.

One of the sub-plots of this episode is that George can't make a move with his left hand, and Jerry states that because Jerry himself is left-handed, Jerry can't do the same with his right hand. However, throughout the series, it is frequently shown that George is left-handed also.

Terry Hatcher is one of three of Jerry's girlfriends who would one day star on "Desperate Housewives". (Marcia Cross, Brenda Strong and Teri Hatcher)

Salman Rushdie, who Kramer believes he spotted at the health club , is a real life British Indian writer, whose 1988 fictional book, "Satanic Verses", was critical of Muslims. The leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, issued a "fatwa", (Islamic religious declaration) calling on Muslims worldwide to assassinate Rushdie, forcing him to go into protective hiding.

In this episode Jerry Seinfeld, famous for his Superman fixation, was able to "date" Teri Hatcher, who actually went on to play Lois Lane in "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" (1993).


As Jerry and Sidra are about to get intimate, Kramer knocks on the door and interrupts them. In one shot, they're holding hands. In the next shot, they have their hands in their laps.

At about 17 minutes into the episode, Jerry has his arms folded across his chest. Then the shot changes and Kramer walks in after Jerry says, "I gotta draw the line somewhere." In this shot, Jerry has one hand on his hip and the other at his side.

At the wake, the amount of food on George's plate changes drastically from cut to cut.
