You treat the numbers like a dial phone, so bosco would be 2676.

Granted, but bosco's numerical equivalent is actually 26726, not 2676, and 5-number PINs don't exist as far as I'm aware

That's what I love about it, even he doesn't have a clue what the gently caress he meant, George is so upset about how little sense it makes that he seems to be getting angry. As to why it is offensive? Imagine you were getting hot and heavy with your girlfriend during a screening of Schindler's List or something and she started moaning about your mother in your ear.

Also my favorite thing about the "shrinkage" scene is the way they call to Elaine and she sneaks into the room like she's involved in a big conspiracy.

College Slice
In episode 7 of Season 2, "The Chinese Restaurant", George attempts to call an unseen character named Tatiana while waiting to be seated at the Restaurant. In the VERY NEXT EPISODE, "The Phone Message", George attempts to call a character named Carol and explain his behavior at the end of their date the night before. Before doing so, however, he ushers Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer out of Jerry's apartment, claiming "I can't call a woman with other people in the room!"

He was in a very similar, awkward situation with both women. With Tatiana, his stop mid-coitus is mirrored in his misunderstanding of Carol's invitation into her apartment.

Clearly, my immersion has been hastily ruined!

Why do so many people think it's impossible to have a PIN number that isn't 4 digits long, is it an American thing or something? I go to a bank that lets you have anywhere between 4 and 16 numbers long.

This is pretty much right, it just makes absolutely no sense at all. There's no reason why anyone would ever say that and it just confuses and infuriates the people who hear it.

You guys are set up with that chip and dip system so you're not typing 16 digits every time you want to pump gas. We have to punch in our pin everywhere, so four digits is the standard.

You just blew my mind.

Also, every bank I've ever used has allowed me to have between 4 and 8 digits for my pin. Washington Mutual, BECU, Bank of America did, anyway. I think Group Health Credit Union made me have 4.

My bank let you go up to 16 digits and that was on a normal bank card. 4 digits is just the minimum.

And does anyone actually say clitoris like that?

This was used so well in an Arrested Development episode. 'Prison Break-In.'

One of my favorite early George scenes;

George: What if the pilot gets picked up and it becomes a series?

Therapist: That'd be wonderful, you'd be rich and successful.

George:Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about. God will never let me be successful...he'd kill me first! He'll never let me be happy.

Therapist:I thought you didn't believe in God?

George: I do for the bad things.

This might sound dumb but I actually have no idea how the whole "pitching their own show" thing ended up. I've seen them writing it, pitching it, and in meeting. I know George hosed it up at least once but managed to salvage it. Does their show actually ever make it on TV?

The pilot airs and everyone seems to like it, but because of Elaine's shenanigans with the NBC Exec in charge, he ends up dying as a Greenpeace Activist and the new Network Exec doesn't like the show and shelves it.

The pilot gets used again in the Japanese tourists episode and in the final episode, but their show never makes it to air as a proper show.

This post makes me feel pretty lame for judging you for not having watched every single episode of what i consider to be one of if not the best TV show.

Basically, the pilot for the show got made, and everything looked great, until the head guy of the network decided to go join greenpeace and raft around on the ocean for some silly cause. It turned out his replacement pretty much hated the show and decided they weren't gonna make it at all.

But then the finale happened and it almost got made except everyone went to jail.

My explanations are so lacking!

watch every episode!

Pretty much, I remember Seinfeld being one of the few the only sitcom that would callback to way older episodes. Not just old girlfriends or something that others did, they would call back to things they did quite a while before.

This is something that I love, but never noticed while watching them out of order in syndication. It wasn't until watching them on dvd that I realized how much continuity and how many callbacks there are in the show.

Yes it was, which is awesome. I think it was one of the first jokes of the episode, too.

Also, at my work the other day one of my coworkers was texting a girl he liked then looked up at me and asked: "How do you spell breathtaking?" Ignoring the fact that a college student couldn't spell for poo poo, I laughed and laughed, partly because of the cheesiness but mostly from the Seinfeld.
