The Seinfeld Chronicles
The pilot tested poorly and NBC left it off its 1989–90 schedule before ordering four more episodes.

Rick Ludwin
Ludwin ran late night and specials, not sitcoms, which is why the show survived its poor pilot testing.
Q 11What does George describe as "a full-bodied dry heave set to music"?
Elaine's dancing

Q 12What does Jerry do for a living on the show?
Stand-up comedian
Jerry Seinfeld plays a fictionalized version of himself as a stand-up comedian living in New York City. Many episodes feature clips of his stand-up routines.

180

Q 14With what snide two-word greeting does Jerry address his nemesis from down the hall?

Q 15In 'The Marine Biologist,' what does George pull out of the whale's blowhole?
A golf ball
George pulls out a golf ball, a Titleist; Kramer had been driving golf balls into the ocean from the beach earlier in the episode, so George's marine-biologist lie pays off in one line.
Q 16George's girlfriend Marcy skips over the boring parts of her stories with which three-word phrase?
Yada yada yada
Marcy says 'Yada yada yada' to skip details in 'The Yada Yada' (1997); George suspects she is hiding something, and she is, glossing over an ex-boyfriend and a shoplifting habit.
Q 17In 'The Alternate Side,' Kramer gets a one-line part in a film by which director?

Woody Allen is filming on Jerry's block; Kramer lands the line 'These pretzels are making me thirsty,' botches the take and injures Allen, who swears off shooting in New York.
