Over in the UK a sitcom episode taking place mostly in one room isn't that unusual. One episode of Only Fools And Horses, The Longest Night, is about the 3 main characters trapped in a supermarket manager's office with 3 other men. Most of the episode is set in the office, and the amount that isn't lasts for about 3 and a half minutes at most. The episode was broadcast about 5 years before The Chinese Restaurant. This type of sitcom episode has been around in the UK since the mid-50s.
This episode felt always a missed opportunity to me. As non-fat yogurt is probably loaded with sugar and is not same as non-calorie yoghurt. It would be such a obvious solution for the episode. To me it seems very out of place to have the twist to be that there were still fat in the yoghurt. A missed opportunity.
Brian George, The voice of the world famous magician, Mr. Fetuccini in "The Care Bears Movie" (1985), has appeared in episodes "Seinfeld" (1989-1998), where he portrays a Pakistani restaurateur named Babu Bhatt.
Well I'm off to social media to propose we cancel J.L.D. for that Indian accent she keeps doing. Brian George doesn't get a pass either now I've heard his real voice. (😜)
The thing that makes it so relatable is the fact that this has happened to lots of people, myself included. In one particular instance I searched for my vehicle for hours, never realizing I was two floors off! Insane, but funny.
How simple-minded do you have to be to claim that nothing is happening in that episode. Or in Seinfeld in general. When I first watched the show many years ago, nothing seemed revolutionary to me. Just another sitcom. Very funny but not revolutionary. Found it very strange when I read/watched all that stuff about how "weird" the show was. There's some theme in every episode, like the frustration of waiting for a table in a restaurant here.
@@SoFloCo-ne4rk Yeah but Jason Alexander is just as bald and has had no facial hair on occasion, but he got old. Larry David's secret is to look 60 at 40, then look 60 at 70. Not a bad strategy.
That set is stupid that they had to do that. Couldnt film on a weekend? Couldn't film in an abandoned place?

So Lawrence Tierney was just playing himself 😂
I actually looked up Lawrence Tierney and I will just say I would never want to be around someone like that cause I would be scared too

LOVE these backstories!
It's like Guiliani was a completely different person back then.
This is all time fav of any episode of any sitcom
George chickening out was typically priceless.
Wow…I’ve watched that episode at least a dozen times. I always thought it was a real parking garage. Nice job set designers💯✔️👍🏽♥️
Always knew about the car not starting not part of the script, but never knew it wasnt a real parking garage. That is amazing!!
The best ❤
Brian George is Indian, NOT Pakistani!

I think Tierney was just a kleptomaniac, Chris Penn said he took the vase from a restaurant table and shoved it in his jacket.
It is a show about nothing.
Was that wrong??
What that wrong? Lmao
Michael is so serious
It’s like art! No wonder the execs didn’t get it 😅
The first I ever heard of Littlefield was David Letterman referring to him as, “NBC programming pinhead Warren Littlefield.”
We never talked about the dot.
Serenity now. AAA later.
Network boobs always try to ruin shows
Why would he never have played Jackie Chiles?

James Hong: "Relationships are so difficult!"
This episode reminds me of a Carol Burnett skit
Every one of these people has aged significantly except Larry David.
Bald and no facial hair helps. And he's nuts about sunscreen. And he eats healthy. And he has no money worries.

This is my favourite episode - bar none. So well written!
The one episode that was actually about nothing.
STEINFELD! Party of FAW!
I concur
Why is this clip all blurry?
It’s too bad Peter Mehlman is an insane leftist/limousine liberal 🤷♂️
Uff. Julia is forever beautiful.
Seinfeld had 2 guys with great ideas, great writers and NBC execs trying to ruin it
oh now i know, he was in "bubble boy"!
Ahhhh diddums; you poor thing you were sooo tired - they’re slave drivers I tell you
I spotted about three Ford pintos, my favorite car!
My favorite episode
This episode and The Chinese Restaurant remains as my two favourite episodes in the show ever. They are absolutely hilarious
Again a suicide joke. Sad! He lost weight!
All jokes aside I think they took it a little far Laurence was not gonna kill Anyone
Seinfeld 4 !!!!!
4:28 not true!!!!!!! He has definitely broke.
Kramer getting out of the car didn.t make the final cut of the show. what a shame😢
sounds like a f wit
4:26 Michael: I never broke character 4:38 ~"Michael breaks character"~
