Fans confirm that in Mad About You, Paul Reiser's character previously lived in the apartment that Kramer later occupies on Seinfeld, with some discussion of a crossover possibility.

A long time ago I thought saw a Mad About You episode where Paul Reiser when he was a bachelor used to live in Kramer's suite before Kramer moved in. Can this be confirmed?

Absolutely! Paul sublet his apartment to Kramer. I believe Jamie wasn't too happy when she found out that Paul kept the apartment. I think she made him turn the lease over to Kramer. Perhaps Paul should have kept it after all.

Yes--Paul was subletting his old bachelor pad to Kramer. In the MAY episode, Jamie is upset that Paul has held on to the apartment for so long.

So would Reiser and Jerry have been neighbors? I assume that Jerry hsa lived there for a while since in one episode he says that Kramer has not been out of the building in 10 years (could be hyperbole).

I think that when NBC does its famous crossover nights, this would be a logical crossover. Perhaps Jaime and Paul show up at one of Jerry's gigs and they interact and Jaime does not like Jerry much.

Have we actually had one single episode where we have been inside Kramer's apartment?

You see Kramer's bathroom door when he goes to do the "Big "E"". Of course, it's a nice wooden door.

For those who watch Mad About You, Kramer apparently got his apartment for free from Paul Buchman. Kramer's apartment used to be Paul's, and in early episodes you can see inside Paul's apartment when Paul and Jamie took turns living with each other.

What about the episode with the Cable guy, we saw his apt alot in that one.

J-9

There is also the time when he is only sleeping 20 minutes every three hours, and he falls asleep while on top of a woman. She thinks he is dead, and cannot move.

We saw it, on the one where Kramer fakes like he is a movie answering machine. It's filled with wood furniture and funky little knick-knacks. It is different than Jerry's apartment. because as soon as you open Kramer's door, all you see is wall (he has a wooden tennis racket on the wall), and Jerry's is more of an open-type-thing. Contest me if you wish.

Yes, this is true, now does anybody remember the epidode where George and Susan were watching "mad about you" on TV...is something weird going on here, or what????

It is true- Jamie wanted Paul to "say goodbye" to his old bachelor pad, and this just so happenes to be where Kramer lives now. Paul went to the apartment for one last time, and ther eis a very funny scene of Kramer and Paul smoking cigars down the hallway of the apartment.

Paul and Jamie were also arguing about wills, power of attorney and the whole if & who issue about pulling "the plug" if one of them ends up in a "persistent vegetative state". Paul doesn't want his "plug" pulled, and he doesn't want to pull Jamie's "plug". And talking about death was kind-of depressing him. Kramer gives him an out by giving him a brochure about becoming frozen and then revived when society comes up with a cure for whatever you have. I thought that was really funny. Another one of Kramer's wild ideas! And then Paul tries to talk Jamie into the idea, and they both have their heads in the freezer trying to see what it would be like to be frozen. And then Jamie says "ooh we have ice cream!">

Yes, I saw the Mad About You episode also. I believe Paul Reiser's character was subletting to Kramer.

It is confirmed. Kramer sublet from Paul but Jamie was mad that Paul kept his bachelor pad.

And what about the time he fell asleep on his girlfriend (who was dating someone in the mob), and she thought she killed him.
