My other favorite intro is for the Merv Griffin Show, which I can't seem to find:

Kramer: We're like Cain and Abel.
Jerry: You know Cain slew Abel.
Kramer: No he didn't. They were in business together...drywall or something.
Jerry: The way I remember it, Abel worked all summer harvesting his crops, while Cain just played in the field. Then when winter came, Abel had all the nuts. Cain had no nuts. So he killed him.
Kramer: See, the way I remember it, Cain - he was a successful doctor, but when he took this special formula, he became Mr Abel.
Jerry: You broke my blender, didn't you?
Kramer: Yeah, I was trying to make gravel, and it just, didn't work out.

I don't remember this at all. Is this where they are walking down the street and come up to the dumpster? I've seen that a bunch of times but TBS always seems to start right when they come up to the dumpster.

Watching Notes About Nothing it shows ratings info for the shows, when they were getting like a 20+ rating. Is that the same system that they're using now? And shows like Community get like a 2 at best? Are any regular shows Seinfeld-high these days?

Thanks for the ratings answers...that's sorta the answer I was expecting.

Clearly I've been watching the show on DVD, and it's crazy to me how much actually gets cut out of each episode for syndication. There's jokes I've never even seen! Most cold opens are cut, and some entire scenes are removed. It happens in like every episode but one example that comes to mind is when George is at Play Now and finally gets into his boarded up office, he calls Jerry and says something about "it's like Hitler's last days in here" and they talk about Hitler for a while until Jerry says he's uncomfortable. The scene as I've always seen it has George say that and they move on.

I feel so cheated :smith: It seems to me that they're cutting out like a full minute or two, is it just for more commercials?

I think just as distressing is that it doesn't mention Seinfeld anywhere

E: not to say "this was worn in Seinfeld" when I'm guessing it wasnt--but a "hey, this looks like the one worn in Seinfeld!"

I'd go ahead and say that from its beginning until whenever Elaine started wearing her hair down, "Not a good look for _____" could be applicable for anybody on the show. Seinfeld's humor and characters still hold up, but not that early 90's wardrobe.

Well the real problem is that the shirt is untucked. But yeah in general (besides Kramer, who stayed pretty consistent) they wore some wacky things at first. Lots of crazy colors and patterns and fabrics. But hey, the late 80's/early 90's.

I heard Witchy Woman on the radio on my way home from work. If Desperado isn't one of the first couple things you think of when you hear that (the first thing I thought of was Jerry's "oh, witch-ay woman") then I don't even know what

When does George quit being a real estate agent? I change my recommendation to that. You should start there. Although it doesn't matter since you already started watching from season 1.

But it turns in to a much different show. As you've no doubt seen from The Soup Nazi.
