Seinfeld Marathon?

Anyone live in a city that's shown an all-day marathon of Seinfeld episodes?

Any idea when the reruns will appear on Nick-at-Night?

Me and my friends have (half seriously) discussed the need of a Seinfeld channel. It would broadcast, say between eight in the morning to ten at night. The risk is of course that one'll get tired, but it would sure help us tape them all... But then again, the 180 episodes will take about six days and a half to run through, so the system will provide a nice, moving schedule, with an automated variation.

Any idea when the reruns will appear on Nick-at-Night?

I believe Ted Turner signed a contract to start '02 for Seinfeld.(reruns not a marathon)

TBS is the likley target

Talking about "Seinfeld marathons". In what episodes was "Marathon" referenced in Seinfeld? ... (I have 4)

Of course, "The Hot Tub" is the obvious one with the runner staying at Elaine's. Also, doesn't George compare the divorce of his parents to a double marathon? That could be in the episode with the man in cape.

In The Apartment (George wears a wedding ring to see if it helps him pick up women. He goes to a party where they're watching the marathon.

One of my favourite quotes from that episode:

"I gave up a lifetime of guilt free sex and floor seats to every event in Madison Square Garden. So please, a little respect, for I am Costanza, Lord of the Idiots!!!" . . . . . ....."....you're all winners...."

"But suddenly, there's a new contender....."

If I had to pick one, this would be my fave line of the whole series!

This episode was on here last night

Yes, that is two - and the "double marathon" [The Chinese Woman] was a hard one. Two more to go...

How about the film "Marathon Man?" They referenced every other 70s intelligent thriller, plus that one had Nazis!

Yes, you are correct. They did a parody of it in The Doorman. It is the scene with the old lady identifying the Nazi (Mengle) - in Seinfeld the German tourists point at Kramer.

What other 70's thrillers do you know they parodied?

The parodied "Three Days of the Condor," (1975) in the one where Kramer starts his anti-mail campaign. And I'm almost positive they snatched a line from "All the President's Men," (1976) in the Nixon-Seinfeld's father resigntion episode.

Which reminds me... did Seinfeld *ever once* parody the whole Clinton-Monica scandal? I don't think they ever did... it was only on for 5 months of the scandal, which broke in January 1998. I mean, every other comedian did.

There are two there - "Some day a car will stop,..." Three Days of the Cobdor"

The interrogation was from - " The Firm"

Certainly, Oliver Stone's "Nixon" - but what line from "All the President's Men?"

For two reasons - (1) They probably wrote all the final episodes by then and (2) it was far too obvious and easy for Jerry. Although one might consider George's antics with his secretary in "The Secretary" a foreboding of Clinton's problems. Was that wrong? Did I miss a meeting? etc...

Was it specifically "The Firm"? Seemed like a general "movie situation" that could've been from a number of different films.

Oh, wait--you mean because of a character played by Wilford Brimley "flying up from Washington", right? Daaamn, I wish I'd realized that 30 seconds ago, before I sent my previous message... :-)

ALSO perhaps another parody.

I just saw TAXI DRIVER and see a lot of similarities to: The Maid

Iris (Jody Foster) - Cindy (Angela Featherstone): both very young "prostitutes"

Sport, the pimp (Harvey Keitel) - Maxwell the Pimp: played the same way

Jerry offers cash to Maxwell and is refused. DeNiro offers cash to Maxwell and is refused.

Kramer lost in the dirty core of New York City -- Robert DeNiro trying to "clean up the city"

"Nexus of the Universe" - We meet at a "crossroads in history".(speech by Palantine in the movie)

The driving around in cars at night - similar feel.

Interesting; And an unintended reference - In the movie Cindy comes from Pittsburgh (Steel Town of America) and in real life Angela comes from Hamilton Ontario (Steel Town of Canada) - That's just a "small" coincidence though.
