Lee

PinkGirl, once again we are in this together.

2. The name of the orignal script was "Stand Up"

18. Bob Sacamano was Kramer's "unseen" friend

19. Kramer went on strike against H & H Bagels


As the Soup Nazi would say, "NEXT!" :)

8. I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffiths Show


9. This is a guess .... because it was a show about nothing.

Pink,

I thought the same thing about #9, but this is what I found:

Jason Alexander told Jerry Seinfeld the "audience for this show is me and I don't watch t.v."

I think the only one left is:

3. Jerry's apt 5A (PinkGirl answered this in #1), Kramer's 5B

Good job everybody! The only thing that got missed was that Jerry's apartment was 3A for a few episodes.

So any ideas for the next quiz?
