Malcolm wrote in article ...

Will - the people in this query each appeared in 6 and/or 7 episodes (no more and no less) and each time they appeared as a totally different character.

No, the Assman Doctor and Junior Mint Doctor are two different people. The Junior Mint Doctor is the same doctor that told George that Susan was dead and might also be the same doctor that told George that the *Summer of George* would be canceled due to George's rehab after slipping on the invitations.

In article ,

The guy who played Jake Jarmel also played one of the california cops ("what kind of town is this,cops eating milanos?) in the episode arc where Kramer is the smog strangler.

BTW.....these are bullshit questions that show no more than an ability to search a web page that list all the actors and their characters. Try asking questions that one would know by WATCHING the show......For example, I've asked, at least 3 times, for the name (first and last) of the male roommate in "The Label Maker"....also Dave asked about the geometric shape on Kramers skis, something I didn't even know......

Oh NO! not a geometry list

Triangle pictures Isocelese as a name Ovaltine in round bottles .. Nope - It'll never happen!

:-)

Oh yeah - Jerry says he's responsible for the crop CIRCLES too.

Good call, Rick. Not everything with a question mark after it is a good trivia question. Hell, you can answer 90% of the questions ever asked in here by searching one of three web pages. I like the questions where you can *almost* picture the answer and have to ponder it until you either figure out the answer or go running for the tape library.

See, this is one of those questions I was talking about. I know his name was Scott, because I can hear George and Bonnie talking about him, but as for his last name. All I can 'conjure' up is an image of the boxes with the defective labels falling off, and the mental picture is just too fuzzy for me to see his last name. But I'm pretty sure that's where the answer lies.

I like this type of question. The ones I don't like are the over-simple questions. Granted, some of us have a larger 'Seinfeld knowledge base' than others but questions like "What's Kramer's mother's first name?" are just a waste of reading and responding time.

Actually, that was a bit too obscure. Some questions don't attract responses for the other reason; too damned hard. How would anyone have known this unless they were specifically keeping an eye on background stuff rather than the main parts of the scene in which the ski appeared?

So, I'm still in search of the 'perfect trivia question'. I'll let you all know when I find it. It has to be difficult enough so that you're not flooded with correct responses. I suppose at least 4 or 5 incorrect responses before the right answer would be about right. It has to be obscure to a point, but it shouldn't require that you paid attention during the 9 frames in which the answer was revealed. The closest to perfect I've come was "Name the book Elaine 'ghost-wrote' for Peterman?" Not many people knew, the potential for incorrect answers is there, it appeared on camera for a few seconds in the center of the shot, and the question gives enough info so that you can tell which episode it's from. That makes it easier to check the tape if you're confounded.

Dave wrote:

That's right....it was the labels that gave it away. It was Scott Thompson.

Not at all. That's what makes it possible to watch the eps over 50 times. You start to look at the background and not worry about the story (which you already know).

Someone asked yoyoma how much money Jerry stuck in his fathers new wallet. Thats a pretty good question. The only problem with number questions is that they allow blind guesses. BTW it was $400. How about which color Chuckle was missing in the ambulance. This question would be a lot better if it hadn't been shown last night.

The RED one was missing.

Thanks I asked about the wallet.

I think a good trivia question is one that seems so obscure until you hear the answer and then you go..."Oh Yeah. I knew that."

Would you have known if it wasn't just on??

In fact I would not have known it if the tape wasn't in the machine and I didn't have the remote control here on my computer desk.

Hey Dave,

First you will notice that I am responding to your post via private email so as not to turn this into a flaming issue. On second thought, I will post this in the newsgroup, and if you think that I am flaming you, well...

Obviously you feel that my questions were derived from searching the net and getting the answers. Well, you couldn't be more incorrect. I have developed my own database in MS Access and stumble across this while performing a query.

Trivia questions should be those which can be researched and not create frustration for those who might have a desire to answer.

Seeing that you find my questions mindless, how about posting a few of your own?

I was the one that said your questions were poor, and I stand behind that theory. Trivia shouldn't have to be researched, what does that prove. I could search the web for who directed more than one episode of Ally McBeal, even though I've never watched one second of one episode. I still could get the answer right, but what does that mean? Good Seinfeld trivia can only be answered by watching the shows until you have them memorized, as I have. The best questions don't even give away the episode they are from, so you can't just check the tape. As for posting my own, well over the past year that I have been here I've posted many, many questions and come to the conclusion that a newsgroup is a very poor place for trivia.......

I quess I'll post one question just to see if anyone can get it..... What was the name of Kramers old roommate that stole the rent from him, (first and last) and how much money did he take??????

Rick Streeter wrote:

No. I've seen that episode at least 9 or 10 times by now (favorite scene? George and the psycho ("Blurb? You're a blurb!") on the cover of, um, Newsweek?) , and the name and dollar amount popped into my head as soon as I read the question. I would not have gotten the street address though. *That* would have required a re-viewing.

I don't wanna get involved in any 'talking to'. The Internet is a flawed medium when it comes to trivia quizzes. Unless we're all in the same room and we all hear the questions at the same time, there's no way to determine who really knows what. I think you get a better understanding of someone's 'Sein-knowledge' by their day-to-day observations, not by how well they can research a question and 'get back to you tomorrow'.

Which was sort of a saving grace. There's no shame in having to check up on your answer. Mike. How much of the Grosbard answer did you get from memory and how much required the tape? (I can still picture Kramer, on the plane, showing Grosbard his profile, you know, how he holds his shirt collar really tight against his throat and holds his hair back from his forehead? Another good snapshot.)

In theory, that sounds great. but now you're judging the question by the answer people give, and that's experiential and cannot be predicted or expected. You can't look at a question and say "Ahh. That's a good one, because it will produce the reaction I'd like to see in a response." By your estimation, you'd have to look at the entire thread AFTER the fact and evaluate it as a whole.

Hmm. Gestalt trivia.

Dave - I remembered the incident but not the exact name or amount. So I opened my web page went to 'Scripts' and in a few seconds had the entire quote including the location and year of the apartment sharing.

My mind is getting too old to remember Seinfeld trivia and JAVA- public- extend- subclass- 'has a' -statements all in one day. (This JAVA course is making me crazy!)

The very last entry of phones could be appended to add that Elaine, or the "evil conniving Elaine" got the phone number to a dead grandmother and started getting calls from a young boy, and pretended to be his granny.

Right. I have added it this way. Thanks.

Elaine's phone number was changed and when she started getting calls from a young boy (with a lazy eye) she pretended to be his dead gammy. [The Maid]

have them memorized, as I have>

I would definitely agree with you on that point. If you have to search for the answer... you don't know the answer.

him,(first and last) and how much money did he take??????

I can only give you the last name on this one.. good question, though. Kramer: "Listen to the bell, Grossbard, it tolls for thee."

you too, huh?

Grossbard $240 - but I think it was 'his share of the rent' I don't remember a first and last. They lived on 3RD and 18th twenty years ago.

(PS - Yes I researched it - it took 90 seconds)

OOppsss - add 'JOHN'

My apologies to Dave.

The answer to your "trivia" question is 'Grossbard and the amount was $240.00'.
