Fans discuss whether a rerun aired in Atlanta was the original pilot episode, with one confirming it was and another noting differences like the apartment set and Kramer's flat hair.
Was that the pilot they showed on WATL last night (Mon, May 25) in Atlanta? I missed the opening scene, so I don't know if they talked about buttons. No Elaine: just Jerry trying to figure out what to do when some girl visited. He and George were talking about clothes drying in a laundrymat. Was this the pilot?
Thanks, David
you are correct!
It was aired here in Cen.Cal. They were talking about a button on George's shirt. The apartment was different. Kramer's hair was *flat*. Another early ep aired tonight. Apartment is the one used for all the rest of the series. Jerry's dad is Phil Bruns. Mom is the same. George adopts architect persona. 1st use of the name Art Vandelay, an importer/exporter.
