Someone should take it upon themselves to watch every episode of Seinfeld and document how long it takes from the time Jerry buzzes a person into the building, until they arrive at his apartment door. I've heard it has been as short as about 15 seconds, which is impossible.
if this info has already been done, please point me to it. :)
Thanks

Hate to break it to you, but we're talking about TV. Time expands or contracts to fit the needs of the show. The Korean War, you may recall, was three years in real life, though the producers of M*A*S*H would have us believe it was more like eleven. When a character goes to the movies on a TV show, we don't have to wait two hours for the movie to end. In the study of literature and media, this is called "willful suspension of disbelief."

No shit, I know this is TV... that still doesn't change the fact that I'd like to know the differences in the amount of time it takes for people to get up to Jerry's apartment. That's what this group is for, to talk about different things in the show... loosen up.
