But there’s also an episode where Jerry and George mention being in Junior High together. Jerry is supposed to do a Career Day talk and keeps getting bumped. George is supposed to do a talk also, about working for the Yankees.
It’s the one where George gives up sex for a while because his girlfriend has mono and he gets smarter, so Elaine gives up sex so her boyfriend will pass his med school boards, and she gets dumber.
Priceless scene in the diner. George picks up that the waitress is Portuguese, and speaks to her in fluent Portuguese, while Elaine just sits there dumbfounded. She then says, “I don’t know no Portuguese.”
George ends up having sex with the waitress, and forgets where the school is. When he finally gets there, Jerry says “How could you get lost, we went here for three years!”
It’s definitely a Junior High School they are talking about.
That, and the block must be increadibly narrow, as Jerry has sidewalk and Kramer also has a street view, as evidenced in the episode where the Chicken Resturant has the too-bright neon sign. Unless their building is on the corner, but all exterior shot of the buildings prove otherwise.
Silly continuity errors.
I’m with NYR, “The sea was angry that day, my friends,” is one of my favorite lines ever. But I submit the Elaine-converts-the-gay-guy-and-Jerry-lies-to-his
cop-girlfriend-about-watching-Melrose-Place as the best all-around episode. Everyone had great subplots in that one.
