Q: Does anyone know how Seinfeld is related to Caroline in the City?

A: In one episode of Mad About You, Paul Reiser's character sold his apartment to "Kramer", which he was subletting. The waitress on Mad About You is the twin sister of "Phoebe" on Friends. And, "Chandler" from Friends was on an episode of Caroline in the City.

Yes, I have no life!

Wouldn't it be easier to just list the people from Friends that showed up on Seinfeld then make the leap to Chander & then to Caroline in The City? Leave out the Mad About You degree?

There were no episodes where Friends characters were on Seinfeld.

Sorry but there were atleast 2 actors that played characters on Seinfeld and Friends. Courtney Cox (Monica on Friends) was Jerry's girlfriend, Meryl, in an episode & Maggie Jakobson ( played Chandler's on & off again girlfriend, Janice) was George's set-up date Cynthia who he used the defective blue condom on.

The guy who played Mr Heckles - the weird downstairs neighbour - in Friends, also played the actor playing Kramer in Jerry and George's sitcom.

I'm sure there are many others. Sometimes it seems like everyone who appearsin any US sitocm of the past decade put in a guest slot on Seinfeld.

And anyway, I predict the next meteor to hit will be a monster and I, for one, am looking forward to it

That would be Larry Hankin playing Tom Pepper playing Cosmo Kramer.

There is also Jon Favreau (played Eric The Clown on Seinfeld, and also Monica's rich boyfriend Pete on Friends)...

as well as Jon Lovitz, Gina Hecht, Taylor Negron, and probably a few others.

I think he means characters as in playing the same people e.g. Michael Richards appearing as Kramer in MAY. But if we're talking actors Chandler's black boss in friends was the guy in the Big Brother program in Seinfeld (not sure of the episode). And Gayle Cunningham from The Shoes (Ep 54) was played by the actress who first played Ross' wife Carol in Friends.

I don't think Six Degrees is played that way. I believe we are talking about ACTOR appearances & not characters.

Okay, so how fast can we link Kevin Bacon to Seinfeld? I haven't checked the FAQ, but this info should be there! The fastest I can think of is: Kevin Bacon to Robert DeNiro (Sleepers) DeNiro to Jason Alexander (Rocky/Bullwinkle- not released yet though) Alexander to Sein.

Technically I think the Kevin Bacon game has to be done all with movies, not tv series.

And anyone who seriously plays "Kevin Bacon" agrees to not use JFK since every actor in Hollywood had a cameo in it.

Oops. That's correct. However, Star Links (also from the Virginia site that hosts the Oracle of Bacon) uses both.

Did not know that.

Courtney Cox was on Seinfeld. Jerry was dating Courtney on the show, and they told the laundry mat owners that they were married, so they could get the married couple discount.

There is a difference between an ACTOR and a CHARACTER.

Courteney Cox is an ACTOR.. Monica Geller is a CHARACTER.

So Jay is correct. There original question referred to characters that appeared in both. Lots of actors have appeared on both shows. FWIW it was not a laundry mat it was a Dry Cleaner.

His question should have been more clearly stated then because whenever I played Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon it was ALWAYS actors and NEVER characters. Don't copy the name if you are using different criteria .

Half the guest stars on Seinfeld also guest starred on Friends, MAY, COTC, ...
