Was this a joke?

Fans discuss the coincidental timing of the Cadillac two-part episode airing during real-life impeachment hearings, debating whether the show's realistic plots reflect current events or inspire them.

Anyone else think it was maybe too much of a coincidence that they showed the two part episode of Jerry's dad getting impeached the same day that a real life impeachment hearing was beginning? Even more interesting was that the real life hearing was almost as ridiculous as the TV one. I'm sure the TV schedule was probably set well in advance, but I actually never enjoyed that episode (usually one of my favorites) less than when I watched it Monday and Tuesday night and was constantly reminded of the real life joke that seemed to be parodying it that very day.

Isn't that why Seinfeld was such a good show? Their plots and themes were so realistic that they are constantly reflecting real life events. Or...perhaps The House Judiciary Committee thought it would be a good idea to have THEIR vote when The Cadillac episode was on - Sure, of course, they lurk here... Hi Henry...!

That would make more sense - the congress getting its ideas from comedy shows. Now that explains their actions.

Now if they showed the ep with Saddam Hussein in it-then I'd be suspicious.
