It wasn’t brains, it was broccoli.
Kathy Griffin appears a few times as Susan Ross’s old college roommate. She brings Jerry an unfunny bottle of BBQ sauce and ruins his interview with Charles Grodin
Whoosh! Elendil’s Heir had revived a zombie thread in post #92. Archive Guy was going along with the zombie theme.
Color me whooshed!
One thing I never noticed until the show was in reruns is the tremendous number of cereal boxes that Jerry keeps on that shelf in the kitchen. There must be at least 10-12 boxes there. Even a large family would not have that many boxes of cereal at once, much less a single man.
Just found this through google
Great to read and think about where some of those actors are now/stories/seinfeld in genral
Jerry loves cereal
Kathy griffin just did a photo shoot holding donald trumps severed head
Peter Stormare was in the episode about stealing the Frogger game. He was Steve Buscemi’s sidekick in ‘Fargo’ (the movie).
One thing I noticed in one of the episodes was the moving glass of wine. It’s a heavily edited scene, and the wine glass keeps jumping around on the counter and changing liquid levels.
Aaaaand shit, it’s a zombie.
Toby Huss was on an episode of Seinfeld, though: he was the boyfriend who fascinated Elaine but she couldn’t figure out why (later she finds out it’s because he was in a bunch of “Nobody beats The Wiz!” commercials).
This is the kind of zombie I love. Fun to relive a show that holds up.
Both Wendie Malick and Lisa Edelstein were in Frasier, Wendie as Ronnie, the lounge singer who eventually married Martin, and Lisa as Frasier’s freaky hippie-artist-nymphomaniac girlfriend.
It took me a while to realize that the venture capitalist Laurie Bream on “Silicon Valley” is played by the same actress as the “yada yada yada” woman from “Seinfeld” (Suzanne Cryer).
Just last month, I idly wondered, hey, the actress who played Man Hands – whatever happened to her?
Was stunned to find out she’s Maleficent on Once Upon A Time.
But it can get weird. Before I realized it was a zombie, I read this:
…and thought, “Yeah, he also has that little role in Breaking Bad…” 
Pay attention to the credits for Silicon Valley. You’ll see a certain very “John Houseman name”.
We watched the whole run of the series a while ago. The multiple changes to Jerry’s apartment at the beginning are quite noticeable.
I also wonder how Kramer hadn’t left the building in 10 years and still had all the adventures that are later alluded to in that time span. And since he moved into Paul Buchman’s apartment fairly recently at the start of the show, where was he living in the building before that? Roomies with Newman?
Oh, and it’s clear the “Kramer” actor really did steal the raisins. Jerk.
And Brian George, who played Babu Bhatt (restaurant owner who got deported), now plays Raj’s father on The Big Bang Theory.
A while back when I saw a rerun of the Bizarro Jerry episode, I noticed for the first time that he has a Bizarro Superman in his apartment.
Recently had the episode “The Masseuse” running in the background when I noticed Elaine suggesting new names for her boyfriend, who shared a name with serial killer Joel Rifkin. Increasingly desperate to ditch the tainted name of a serial killer, Elaine picks “O.J.” out of a sports magazine.
I had to look it up:
The episode aired November 18, 1993.
On June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found stabbed to death.
Pretty freaky.
This is more of a ‘changing times’ type of thing, but…
A few weeks back, I happened to catch the episode in which Jerry, who’s agreed to be part of a date auction that Elaine is MC-ing, gets a horrible haircut that everybody makes fun of; Elaine says it makes him look like a little boy.
I couldn’t help thinking it was actually pretty on point for fashionable men’s hairstyles in 2017 – pronounced part in the hair and all. If he’d gotten that haircut today, he’d be right in style.
I was watching “The Deal” online the other night, and thought Elaine’s roommate Tina looked familar. I just Googled her and see she has a long filmography. The only other role I immediately recognized, however, was the school bus driver in Forrest Gump.
For a long time, I thought the bus driver was plaved by Svetlana Kirilenko from The Sopranos, sporting a Southern accent instead of a Russian one.
