Have we ever seen . . .

the wall behind Seinfeld's television? Has it ever been shown, even once, over all those years?

over

No. Simply because there is no wall behind his television.

right, that's where the audience views into the set.

can anyone explain to me how they do the scenes outside the apartment, like street scenes, etc.. do they dub laughter in, or do they show it to the in-house audience on a TV screen hooked up to the camera or what?

it may sound stupid, but I never figured that out with TV shows.

I don't know about Seinfeld but many outdoor scenes are just a set inside. I think Seinfeld is taped on location though, and the laughter may be dubbed in.

Some of the laughter is dubbed in. The New York street that we so often see the gang on is an indoor set, but a lot of stuff is done on location. (The subway they use is a set as well; it was made from the set used in "Ghost.") They do re-create scenes for the audience or show them on a monitor to get the reaction, and then dub that in during editing.

No. If we did we would see cameramen and directors and shit.

only a studio set, and like every other studio set it has one end removed because the cameras and the crew and studio audience are back there.

True, but we're not really supposed to know that. :)

I think the original post meant, 'has there ever been a scene where the camera angle shows what *would* be the wall behind the TV?' And to that the answer is also no.

I know in "The Heart Attack" they show Jerry's TV from the front in a weird angle, I don't remember if you can see a wall or not though. Check the tape.
