Fans identify a potential continuity error in "The Hot Tub" where George flips a newspaper in two different ways at different camera angles, with discussion of whether it's a blooper or editing issue.

Hi, In "The Hot Tub", George is doing a crossword as Mr Wilhelm comes in. George doesn't want him to see the newspaper (or at least the crossword) so he turns it over to his left. Then, at another camera angle, he does the exact same thing again - that would result in the crossword being visible to Mr Wilhelm!

BTW, The News Guy (Mike): I checked 'your' script for this episode and in this scene there is a bit missing at the beginning. George is having a conversation with himself trying to solve a question (and he does, too.) I could check this out and post the additions later.

Oh, the first time he doesn't flip it, he just puts it on a pile. At the second angle he flips it from the original position to the left (anyone follows..?). Either it's a blooper or a two-parts-paper. Anyone knows what paper George reads and if it's got two parts? :-)

Anyway, here's what should be added to the script (at the very beginning of this scene). George: (thinking) "Singin duo... Captain and ..." uh... (does a victory gesture and snaps his fingers) "Tenille!"

I also think that the very first line (marked '?' in the script) should be: I always feel bad for the silver medal winner in the Olympics.

Later, before this scene...: ���(Kramer's apartment) (4:02 AM. Kramer snores. The heat pump short circuits and blows the fuses on the entire building)

... this should be inserted: ���(Jerry's apartment) (Two clocks at a table, both 4:02 AM. Jean-Paul's sleeping at the sofa)
