Did anyone catch the # of Jerry's apartment in the rerun The Male Unbonding? The number was not 5A but 411, and it wasn't on the door it was on the wall outside the door.
How many different numbers have been assigned for Jerry's apartment? I can't figure out why his apartment is numbered 5A because he is at the END of the hallway. He is not the first apartment by the elevator. Anyone else have an oddly numbered apartment? The only reason I can see 5A making sense is if the elevator opened in the middle of the hallway and there were apartments on each side of it. Any thoughts?
On another note: It was mentioned awhile back that people thought Newman lived above Jerry, but his door is numbered 5E so he must live just down the hall from him.
Jerry's apt. # has been 411, 3A and 5A. Newman's has been 5E and 5F. I think Newman's should be something like 5R because it seems like his apt. is pretty far down the hall from Jerry's and not just 2 doors down. As for your other question, it probably would make more sense if Jerry's apt. wasn't 5A since he's not near the elevator, but maybe some apartments are actually numbered like that. Anyone?
In The Stock Tip, Jerry mentions to Kramer when he is looking out the window with binoculars that they are 10 stories up. I thought they were 5 up..oh well...
Jerry's is probably in the "West Wing." There are probably four rooms in each wing with an elevator in the center. Maybe there is some wide open space where the elevator is too, just too make the trip between the two apartments take longer. The layout of their building has changed alot over the years too. Earlier episodes often showed them walking down long winding hallways to get to his apartment.

Their building may have changed but it didn't change alot. Maybe it changed ABIT but definitely not A LOT.
I wonder why they did change the numbering. Was there ever a story line that made use of the numbering or what floor they were on? Or was it just some stange hands who forgot from one year to the nest in the early years?

That was a very early episode you're talking about. Back then 'Newman' was unseen and his voice was supplied by Larry David. Maybe he did live above Jerry back then, but since Jerry's and Newman's apt. # both start with 5 now, we can assume they live on the same floor.

No, Ray Knight has always done Newman's voice. And that time with him wanting to jump was the first time we "heard" him. Also he was ON THE ROOF when Kramer spoke to him from Jerry's apt.
First of all, it's Wayne Knight. And, even though the voice in that episode is his now, Larry David did the voice originally. The scene was later re-filmed using Wayne's voice. Or possibly they just dubbed his voice in.
Or before or after George was fired by Steinbrenner??
Forgive me, I have a hard time telling one stupid-assed baseball team

Marge is the racist one. Thanks.

Newman lives in the "East Wing" wherever that is. When Jerry dates the girl Newman broke up with, he goes to see Newman and Newman says "So nice of you to visit the East Wing," or something like that.

Between his acting gigs in Animal House and St. Elsewhere :), Ray Knight managed the Cincinnati Reds and also does baseball for ESPN. Pretty talented guy. No, I don't think he's related to WAYNE Knight.
I think it's a joke Lisa. Wayne Knight plays Newman, Ray Knight was a baseball player. Majorleaguebaseball.com says this:

Well, I must apologize here. I was the one with the original post quoted above. In trying to post in a hurry, for some reason I typed Ray Knight instead of Wayne Knight. Simple mistake. Sorry.
I wouldn't at all be surprised if Newman had ruined the plumbing, and left his room in complete disrepair (and fleas!), and because management couldn't prove that he did it (and because the plumbing from above is likely to be connected with the plumbing below), the rooms thus destroyed had to be placed "out of service" while the original tenants thereof were given comparable rooms as replacements. Hence, another reason Seinfeld bears a grudge against Newman. The guy ruined the plumbing! The guy forced him to move and change rooms!

I think when the show started Larry David did the voice for the unseen NEWMAN...but when the show went to syndication...Wayne Knight dubbed to voice....to lessen the inconsistances (sic) ...the did NOT do the same for Jerry's father....
now back to the APT arguement...
btw- hasn't anybody thought that some buildings might have a weird numbering system....i.e. by wings of clusters of apts???
