Kessler then, Kramer now

I think the main purpose of the last scene (perhaps, the first) of the 11/20 episode was not to show Jerry's first meeting with Kramer per se, but to correct one of the biggest inconsistencies of the show, the fact that Kramer was originally known as Kessler...

I think the writers were thinking of those of us who study and dissect every little bit of the show when they threw that idea into the script (in a very discrete manner, by the way)

I believe those two seconds in which Kramer corrected Jerry made the whole 30-minute show worth watching... what do you people think?

What episode are we talking about here?

it made no sense. Kramer sublet that apartment from Paul Buchman (mad about you). the name on the mailbox should have read Buchman to remain consistent w/Paulie being the last resident before K-Man. nik the Battle Queen

Don't think we can go THAT far...but it was a nice finishing touch, the kind you always get in a "classic" episode...which "The Betrayal" was...

I always thought Kramer was originally called "Hoffman". I believe that's how his name was listed in the TV Guide when the pilot originally aired (he was never addressed by name in the actual show). Where did "Kessler" come from?

EXACTLY MY OPINION! While I didn't think much of the episode itself (it was a bit confusing), BETRAYAL left me laughing after the whole Kramer/Kessler bit. I even loved what they did with Jerry's hair,
