6. Why can't you find out the names of the characters or episodes that you ask about? ;-)

Episode 79 The Pie - Audrey refused to taste the pie

Episode 123 The Seven - Christie always wear the same dress

Episode 11 The Statue - Ray may, or may not have stolen the statue

I remember George mentioning his brother in Episode 39 The Parking Space

George: I don't know, I just can't. Nobody in my family can pay for parking, it's a sickness. My father never paid for parking; my mother, my brother, nobody. We can't do it.

but cannot remember which other episode you are asking about.

I need more information than that.

Great idea for a list too, by the way --

I'd say he's referring to Jerry's girlfriend Ellen (Christine Taylor) in "The Van Buren Boys."

I'm terrible with names. (I knew the episodes though, if that counts for something :-)

When George and Elaine go to a psychic, the psychic mentions a name (I think Irene) and George says, "My brother once impregnated a girl named Irene."

The episode is The Van Buren Boys (I think) the actress is Christine Taylor (Marcia brady from the brady movies).

Thanks.

I'd have to give a pretty definite YES to this one. Perhaps not beyond a reasonable doubt, but his excuse that the pawn shop had been closed up and the owner moved to Singapore?!? And he had the same type statue that had been in Jerry's apartment? That's a pretty big coincidence!! :)

Other ones:

Did Russell Dalrymple die after falling out of the boat in "The Pilot"?

Whatever happened to Ping's lawsuit against Elaine?

How does George get all those beautiful women?!?

Did Elaine ever actually see the movie Sack Lunch in the episode 'The English Patient'?

In the end scene I thought the punchline was that yet again she would not get the chance to see the movie and that's why she says "Ahhhh nuts!" However, earlier in the episode she was buying a ticket to see it and I don't see any reason why she wouldn't have seen it then.

Any thoughts?

Cheers, Telsa

I was wondering this, too.

I'm suspicious that some dialogue was cut in syndication. Perhaps she explains to the waitress at Monk's that she was too bummed to see the movie after running into Blaine and her pals that she doesn't even like.

I can understand her disappointment. I'm told it's Dabney Coleman's best work.

Another question, does Neil survive after George disconnects his IV?

"The Old Man"...

Was Sid Fields' record collection actually worth a lot of money? Fields' son angrily asked Jerry, "Do you have any idea how much that record collection is worth?" However, Bleeker Bob only offered Kramer and Newman $20 for the lot.

"Agency? What agency, the CIA?"

Peter P. SzabagaBrian

Whatever happened to all the large-breasted waitresses whose presence upset Elaine in "The Pilot?" Did Monk's change ownership after Season 4?

Umm I guess this doesn't really count because it's not about the main characters, but everyone else took my answers :(

Whatever happens to the little boy that George was supposed to be a "Big Brother" for?

Did he ever get to Paris?

Did he ever see his dad?

Yea, I know, pathetic, no one cares........... *sniff*

What did the Van Buren Boys do to George when he couldn't prove he was "one of them"? The show ended with him running away from them.

What specifically was in "Glamour" that, uh, "inspired" George?

Peter P. SzabagaMike Doskas

The first name of Newman. I assume that Newman is his last name. I also presume that his first name is not Cosmo.

Why Newman dumped Jerry's girlfriend Margaret, why she wasn't his type. ("The Big Salad")

Also in "The Big Salad": Did George's girlfriend Julie purposely take credit for purchasing Elaine's big salad?

Whatever happened to all the large-breasted waitresses after "The Pilot." Another change of ownership of Monk's, so soon after the last one?

Did the Junior Mint actually have a positive effect in Roy's miraculous recovery?

Why does Radioshack ask for you phone number when you buy batteries?

Cheers, Telsa

Dan CooganTelsa

They are not supposed to do that anymore -- I heard about the policy on NPR. Radio Shack changed their policy.

Though there are still a couple of time honored traditions that continue there:

  • Radio Shack -- You got questions, We've got blank stares...
  • Radio Shack -- You got questions, We've got dumb looks...

This is minor but....I always wondered

In the coffee lawsuit settlement meeting, the guy says:

We can offer you all the free coffee you want, and ...

And Kramer cuts him off. Doesn't anyone out there wonder how much they were willing to offer?

Dan CooganThe Maestro

That was Newman's lie for Kramer -- not Kramer's dream - it was Newmans'

Kramer never wanted to be a banker -- real or fake -- it was Newman's lie.

I know. It was a fake unsolved mystery. Just a funny reference to Newman's line:

Newman: But you never became a banker Mr Kramer... WHY? WHY DID YOU FAIL?

Kramer: I don't know...

<< 2. Why did whatsherface always wear the same dress? >>

Its been a while, but wasn't it unclear about whether she wore the same dress everyday or just had lots of dresses in the same pattern?
