BM>> Please help settle an argument for me. where is Seinfeld filmed? I was BM>> positive that it was in L.A., but a friend swears that he's seen them BM>> filming in the coffee shop in NYC. BM>>

BM>Los Angeles!!!!!!!!!!!

That reminds me... is Seinfeld taped before a live studio audience, or do they use a laugh track? Sometimes it seems like there is enough variety in the laughter that it sounds very convincing, but at other times, it's pretty canned. (BTW, the scenes I'm talking about are just the ones inside apartments and inside the stores - not outside shots) I could have gone and seen him do some stand up about a year ago, but missed out. Anyway, if anyone knows, I'd appreciate any info. Thanks!

JX>Seinfeld is filmed in L.A. The coffie shop called "Restarant" is in New Yo JX>but just like Cheers the outside of the place is the only thing that resembl JX>the actual restarant.

I always thought that was so cheesy that it just said "Restaurant" on it, but then I thought about it, and it fits the show nicely. I never really took notice of the "Monk's Cafe" name that they use in the show until Kramer said "Monk's?" in one episode and then I saw the menu cover in the x-rated tape episode where George is reading it.

-- I saw a program (probably on E!)- a behind-the-scenes sort of thing on Seinfeld (better fans will undoubtedly remember more about it), which, amongst other things, showed Jerry warming up the audience. So, while I'm sure that they could use laugh tracks _and_ a live audience, I know for sure that they use an audience.
