Fans discuss episodes featuring children, noting that Seinfeld rarely includes kids and those that appear tend to be unlikeable rather than stereotypically cute.
How many shows do you remember had children on Seinfeld? I haven't been able to post or read this group almost all year, since I adopted an eight month baby last March from St. Petersburg, Russia. He's 18 months now and hates Seinfeld. Anyway, I thought this would be a good string since there are so few kids ever on Seinfeld.
The Frozen Yogurt The Bris The Baby Sitter
One of the things I like about Seinfeld is that there are so few children, and those that are on tend to be brats, not the stereotypical TV "cute kid".
The Bubble Boy. - mean as hell. The Hamptons - 'breathtaking kid' uhg! I guess Jerry hates kids too.
the cursing kid

When Kramer is Santa Claus...
Should we call them, "Jerry's Kids...?" Sorry, I couldn't resist that one.
LOL! I'm just surprised that it took this many posts
on this thread before somebody said something like this!
Thanks rdmb, for being the one to step up.

(Remove XXXX to reply)So, you're saying an 18 month old Russian child doesn't like Seinfeld. Is it just the new episodes he doesn't like? Could it be because he doesn't think the writing is up to the same standard now that Larry David is gone?
No really, I'm just having fun here.
So, you have "The Frozen Yogurt", "The Bris", and "The Baby Sitter".
Then there's "The Hamptons", they show the baby, but only for a moment.
"The Bubble Boy" The most obnoxious child in history, but we never get to see him.
"The Serenity Now" Elaine helps a Jewish youngster to 'become a man' at his Bar Mitzvah.
"The Fire" George runs over the children to save himself.
"The Race" Kramer works as a department store Santa.
"The Parking Space" The foul mouthed child who's parents own the Yogurt shop makes an appearance.
"The Trip" Fred Savage makes a cameo. I suppose he's still a child, right?
"The Nap" Steinbrenner's kids show up while George is napping under his desk.

Dave, Very Funny! Thanks for asking.
Nathan's bedtime is around 8:00pm and he usually is pretty annoyed with us and cranky by the time 7:30pm rolls around. And, you guessed it, that's the time Seinfeld in syndication airs in Philadelphia. I've seen Nathan slap his head with both hands with frustration while his two parents sit glued to the set laughing and grunting, watching classic Seinfeld reruns. And, since, his language skills are really quite nil at this point, I add for him, what I believe he's thinking and that is: "How can you two watch this show night after night, it's about NOTHING."
I would submit that Nathan is slapping his head and acting cranky because of the language problem. Didn't you say he was a Russian baby? Philadelphia must have Russian interpereters available. I'd bet you'd see smiles and grins if he could understand the dialogue. Blessings.. homerr.

What about Kramer's KARATE class?

Oh yeah, Kramer was pummeled by "their tiny fists of fury"! That's a great line!

There's been a lot of press lately about how Russian children have been abused and neglected in orphanages then American couples lied to and allowed to adopt the children for a sizable fee. Did you do a lot of research on this subject before finalizing the adoption process?

Hey! Thanks for your post. I sincerely hope that Russian children in orphanages are not neglected or abused. Although to the people of our society (the GREAT U.S) it may seem like these children are. The culture is so very different from ours. Most Russian social workers (Baby Home staff) are paid very little (~$800 American Dollars a year) and expected to work wonders with these children with very little money. They also do not think that a whack on the behind is physical or corporal punishment as we do here. After trying for five years to adopt within this country, only to be letdown time and again, it was a great joy for us to travel to Russia and pick up our litle bundle. Andrea

The dirty-mouthed kid in "The Frozen Yogurt" is also in the episode where George and Kramer's friend Mike get into an argument about who owns the rights to a parking spot. Not sure what the episode name is...

Three more I can think of: 1. The Fire (George pushes children away to flee from a small fire) 2. The Parking Space (Jerry tells kid that his dad lost his job) 3. When Elaine unknowingly brings cigarettes and alcohol to a young filmaker(Can't recall show title)

How about the one where Elaine goes to her boss's son's bar mitzvah and he French kisses her? It's debatable whether the son should be considered a "child" or a "man" in this situation, I guess.

Can think of 2 more:
1."The Wink": Kramer promises sick kid in hospital that Paul O'Neil will hit 2 home runs in a game.
2. "The Wait Out": Kramer scares a kid he is babysitting because he is wearing tight jeans and walks like Frankenstein.
One reason Seinfeld is a great show is because there are so few kids in it. Look at funny guy Dan Ackroyd and his current role in "Soul Man" with all his "cute" kids. No way does he come off as either a minister or a father. What was ABC thinking?

...and just shown on UK terrestrial TV:
"The Raincoats" (parts 1&2) - George gets involved in a Big Brother program, tries to get out of it by saying he's going to Paris and ends up having to take the kid to Paris which is where his father lives.
superb.

WT
In the show where George consults a psychic (with Elaine in tow), I believe it is episode 32 (The Suicide), not only is the psychic pregnant, but she also has a daughter. (Faithy, I think was the kid's name)
