Seinfeld Trivia
How many sitcoms of the four main characters have failed since Seinfeld's last episode? So far I believe there's been three: First, there was "The Michael Richards Show", then there was Jason Alexander's "Bob Patterson", and lastly, there was Julia Louis-Dreyfus' "Watching Ellie".
Now Jason Alexander is trying to break this "curse of Seinfeld" with the new sitcom, "Listen Up". The most important thing in a sitcom in my opinion is the writing. That's why the previous three post-Seinfeld sitcoms failed. The writing on Seinfeld was great. Both Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David did a great job at turning out creative shows week after week.
I've read over the CBS's overview of the show, and I'm not sure it'll break the Seinfeld curse. I did like the George Costanza character. Jason's character in this new show seems to share some of this. CBS's page characterizes Jason's character as "paranoid and obsessive-but-loving husband". It all depends on the writing. "Listen Up" premieres on CBS on Monday September 20, 8:30 ET/PT.
Here are some Seinfeld sayings and other interesting Seinfeld trivia that I've picked up in the last few weeks while watching reruns:
- Tub is Love: This is the episode where Elaine admits to faking it with Jerry. The saying came from Jerry as George was discussing his girlfriend with him. If you're cleaning your tub, you are serious about the girlfriend.
- Hipster Dufus: This was said in at least two episodes. The first time I heard it was the episode where Kramer convinces George to park in a handicap space. This causes a wheel-chaired lady to park in another spot where she got hurt getting out of the car. Kramer feels guilty, visits this lady, and falls in love. This women, who we never heard, breaks up with Kramer and calls him a hipster dufus (as recalled by Kramer). I also heard Elaine call Kramer a hipster dufus in the episode where she gets bit by a dog in an optical store where George was looking for a new pair of glasses to replace those he thought were stolen at the health club. Elaine became paranoid that the dog might have rabies. Kramer makes things worse my mentioning what happened to a past friend with rabies, and Elaine goes grabs Kramer and calls him a hipster dufus.
- Aqua Boy: George's name given by Jerry. This was the same episode as the second hipster dufus episode. As mentioned, George lost his glasses (thought they were stolen) and has to wear his prescription swimming goggles.
- BBO (Beyond Body Odor): Term by George while riding in Jerry's car that was "infested" with BO from a valet. Jerry couldn't get rid of this smell and was forced to let it be stolen (although the show ends with the thief having second thoughts after a good smell of it). The smell attached itself to both Jerry and Elaine. Elaine refers to it as "rampant, mutant BO". She says "Jerry thinks it's an entity."
