It might be more helpful if the streaming section headings are listed by country rather than by streaming service? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aswiseman (talk • contribs) 21:54, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

It appears the first two items in the Notes section are identical. Can these be merged into one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aswiseman (talk • contribs) 21:59, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and merged these notes, as well as attempting to clean up the clunky wording. Could still be clearer, though, and this info still needs a source to cite. Mkcaldwell (talk) 18:14, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-overs?

The article makes no mention of the show being part of NBC's "Must-See TV" line-up, or of the fairly significant crossovers with other, unrelated series, such as the revelation that Paul Reiser's character in Mad About You previously rented the apartment that Kramer later moves into after him, right across the hall from Jerry Seinfeld's apartment. rowley (talk) 00:51, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Germanophobe

"The in-show character is a mild germophobe" Isn't that spelled germanophobe?? 46.188.167.218 (talk) 13:22, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No? If you're afraid of germs then you're a germophobe. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:23, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Audience? No audience?

I'm confused—did Seinfeld have a live audience or not? The Production section says nothing about one—but the reactions sound spontaneous (for example, Kramer sometimes getting applause when he enters or leaves), and the article says that laugh tracks were used only over scene transitions. Shouldn't this be clearer? 2604:3D08:4486:600:D175:54EE:C5D1:9DAB (talk) 09:20, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
