Someone posted an article about how Wings had been mentioned on Seinfeld and I thought it might be fun to make a list of other shows that have been mentioned on Seinfeld.

Wings and Melrose Place are the two I can think of right now, but I know there must be more. Can anyone think of others?

Kramer's favorite soap: "The bold and the beautiful" He mentionned this show in 2 episodes.

Susan mentionned that she taped "Mad about you".

The tonight Show

Regis and Cathy lee (???)

E.T.

And oh! the look on George's face when he has to cuddle up with Susan and watch it.

"Am I *that* charming and beautiful?" "No. No you're not."

Also, in last night's episode Kramer and his little friend Mickey were stand-ins for All My Children.

There's a show whose actual THEME SONG was played on Seinfeld. Remember how Susan tapped her feet and George gave that look like he was sliding into oblivion?

How about the episode where Jerry took the lie detector test to prove he didn't watch Melrose Place.

Jerry appeared on the "Today" show in the "Puffy Shirt" episode. He's also appeared on the Tonight Show at least once. Also, Kramer appeared on "Regis & Kathie Lee" to promote his coffee table book.

There was the time Jerry took the lie detector test to see if he watched "Melrose Place." Kramer was on Regis and Kathy Lee promoting his coffee table book.

Kramer watched Jeopardy, :wq

Of course there was the mention of Melrose Place. The one where Jerry asks the female cop for a date and somehow they get talking about Melrose Place and does he watch it. He says no and then they give him a lie detector test and he breaks down and admits he watches it. Then at the end of the program it shows everyone gathered in Jerry's living room getting ready to watch Melrose Place and it cuts out after the theme song plays.

NO!!! That was when they were in bed together watching "Mad About You" when George really wanted to watch a Yankee game.

-I don't need a signature. Look at top to see who's writing.

Seinfeld

know

"There's trouble on the set of 'Blossom'"

"Oh...poor Blossom"

It went something like that.

-Simonfeld d:]

Isn't there an episode with a reference to "Entertainment Tonight", where Kramer has an adverse reaction to Mary Hart's voice?

Elaine was writing a script for "Murphy Brown" in the episode where they were all switching their keys around (I forget what it's called).

-Floyd

How can we forget Murphy Brown? Kramer had a small role in that show as a male secretary (Candice Bergen cameo) and Elaine was secretly writing a script for it.

The 'Bold and the Beautiful" was also mentioned. A week ago I posted a list of about 8 shows mentioned on Seinfeld.

  • Jerry goes to L.A. to be on The Tonight Show.
  • George talks to George Wendt about Cheers.
  • George talks to Corbin Bernsen about L.A. Law.
  • Kramer gets seizures when Entertainment Tonight is on TV.
  • Jerry and George make a pilot for the show "Jerry" which is a loopback reference.
  • George and Susan watch "Mad About You" in bed after their engagement.

George and Susan watch Mad About You. It's part of a joke about how domesticated George is becoming. (Maybe the episode about the "death of independent George"?)

Actually, this is a bit confusing, since originally the two shows were supposed to exist in the same "universe." Oh well.

-- Matt D.

In 'TV Guide' all the Lucy shows were mentioned and the nerdy guy who liked Elaine hummed the theme to 'I Love Lucy.'

:

also, jerry admits proudly to never having seen an episode of "i love lucy".

plus, kramer talks about his coffee table book on regis.

And Melrose Place. Don't forget Melrose Place, how everyone vehemently denied ever having watched in, but rushed home to tune in at the end of the episode. Karen

Don't forget the Today Show, upon which Jerry makes his appearance in the puffy shirt.

why did i think that was the TONIGHT show?

I can't afford to go to Europe so, since the earth rotates every 24 hours, why couldn't I shoot straight up and hover in some kind of contraption and let Europe come to me?
