This episode was most assuredly not on tonight. Rather, I saw "The Gum." MAYBE it was only my local station that did it, but until now my local station has been in line with the schedules you post. This is the first time it's been wrong. Do you know what's going on?

I don't get it either. I cut'n'pasted the schedule straight from the TV Guide Web site, and I was so looking forward to 'The Soup Nazi' (and Schmoopy), and I got 'The Gum' as well. I'm not really complaining because this ep included the best Elaine cleavage shot I've ever seen, but I'm troubled by the error on tvguide.com. If I can't trust the syndicated schedule list, how am I to know when one of the four I don't have comes on?

I'm proud to say that I saw it when it first aired back on July 5, 1989. I've seen it at least 4 more times in syndication since then, so apparently you just keep missing it. It's a pretty bad episode, but it's interesting to see how much the characters (Elaine is not in this episode though) and the set have changed since then. Good luck.

I think Monday thru Saturday is the official syndication week, some local stations choose to show the Sat show on Sun, who knows why?

does anyone know why The Gum was shown last night instead of The Soup Nazi???
