In tonights episode(the handicapped spot one) I think I noticed something missing. If my memory serves me correctly(and I'm not sure that it does), in the original airing of the episode, they showed Lola, the handicapped woman, actually attempting to roll up the ramp, having her battery die, and rolling down the ramp towards injury. In tonights syndicated episode, this scene was not shown. Am I imagining things, or was this scene cut out?

In syndication, scenes are often cut out to make room for more commercials ($$ per second much higher during prime time).
I don't recall the ramp scene you describe, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Nope, the first you hear of the accident is when they round the corner of the mall, and see the crowd. In the original, they do show her losing her brakes going forward down the hill in the 'used' wheelchair. As I recall, this scene was not cut.
it may have been the station -- they sometimes do this to fit in ads etc..
i have also been noticing terrible continuity in cuts in the later series -- Elaine will be laughing, then straight-faced: has anybody else noticed this?

Your imagining things Ted, I have the original episode on tape (it's the one where George's father was played by someone other than Jerry Stiller) and the only time we see Lola is at the end where the wheelchair Kramer got her is rolling down the hill out of control! (Maybe this is the scene you are thinking of) [email]
etc..

Did the rerun of the Handicapped Spot that they showd last week have Jerry Stiller -- and the original have someone else?

Last week's episode cut it out. They only show her at the end, outside, with the chair that George and Kramer got her.

ramp,

else noticed this?
Yes I have for ages now. Watch the door to Jerry's apartment. It's open, then half open then closed etc....different angles....
Also, when George is lying on the floor (...and you wnat to be my latex salesman) the newspaper moves from the left side of his head to the right side as camera angles are changed
Another is the Mel Torme episode when Kramer is wearing the jumping shoes from Jimmy's supplier. Kramer has his feet on Jerry's coffee table and you can read the brand name of the shoe, Nike - I think. Next scene Kramers's feet are still up but there is red tape over the brand name. Oops.....
