Just love the minor characters that make the consistency of the "neighborhood" FDR, the hotdog guy, Rebecca De Mornay, the Goodwill store lady, (second appearance, wasn't she in The Muffin Tops), the bakery store lady (marble rye, babka, etc.). I am going through all of my tapes and trying to find the minor characters that give the realism to the show. It is great that Seinfeld uses the same people in the roles and doesn't change them all of the time. Another great example is the cashier at Monk's, the one George thought screwed him out of twenty dollars. Even when these minor people have no speaking roles, they are still the same characters in the scenes. Does anyone else have some continuing minor character they can think of?

YOU DIDN'T HEAR THIS FROM ME:
NBC greenlighted 14.3 million dollars in post production, computer generated special effects imagery, which of course the audience/people on the set never saw, and were given no clue would be added later. In concert with this: some revolutionary digital editing by Larry David, along with a couple of solo scenes featuring just Jerry Seinfeld which will be added as well (filmed in Norway). The result will fundamentally alter the plot and radically surprise even David's/Seinfeld's own cast when it is broadcast! As per the digital editing: the cast didn't even realize what they were filming- some bits of some scenes will be cut and pasted to others etc. etc., creating an entirely different story! This explains the painstaking 9 day straight filming which took place. PLOT TEASERS: Seething over Keith Hernandez's success with women, George becomes convinced that Hernandez's sexual power over women resides in his mustache. George carefully steals the mustache with a pair of scissors when Hernandez falls asleep on Jerry's toilet. George then goes around town wearing the stolen facial hair to mixed and surprising results. Kramer and Jerry come to terms with their true feelings for each other, and hastily marry (after creating a new matrimonial concept: "the man-marriage" which they hammer out as a platonic arrangement centered around sports-appreciation and the sacred institution of the "shared refrigerator". And finally to utterly confound, surprise, and dismay the audience, Larry David left the Elaine character out completely -"What- are they gonna get mad and quit watching after this if I don't fulfill their every expectation and dream?" Mr. David quipped. Also: the actor Wayne Knight, a.k.a. Newman was forced to lose 200 pounds for this last episode by Jerry and Larry who confined him to an abandoned missile silo in upstate New York to effect the crash weight loss. Newman is skinnier than Kramer in the goodbye episode! (Wayne has been keeping out of public as much as possible since the last episode went into the can. He has also been provided with a special effects fat suit and facial and hand prosthetics to conceal his extreme change in appearance while he gains his weight back in time for summer appearances.)
