Question

Fans discuss the characters' ages throughout the series, noting that while actors aged from 30-48 over nine seasons, the characters seemed to regress in maturity and behavior by later seasons.

As well as Kramer, Elaine and George

They act like they are all playing young to mid thirties. Though were't they in their forties, except Elaine.

Mid thirties in the first season.

But by season 9 all the characters acted like they were in 4th grade.

That still doesn't explain their familiarity with enemas.

from The Serenity Now:

Elaine: You are thirteen, and I am in my early... 20s.

Hints of the regression appear in season 5:

"Hi Mr. Goldstein is Rachel home?"

You could also obtain an estimate from the overdue book which goes back to when Jerry and George were in high school.

I always though Kramer was at least ten years older than the rest until I saw otherwise up thread. I wonder if he was a smoker in real life?

But Jerry the character didn't seem to be playing a 40 year old on the show, though he was 44 in real life. Was their any age indicators in the last years of the series.?

I didn't realize the age differnce between George and Jerry was so much

Jerry and Jason are 5.5 years apart, but not Jerry and George:

George: Listen Jerry. Bania's voice is the voice of a new generation. My

generation.

Jerry: We're four months apart.
