Seinfeld: "The Seinfeld Chronicles/Pilot" (Season 1 Episode 1)
I'm a huge Seinfeld fan. Let's just get that out of the way right now. I think it's absolutely hilarious. I think chances are good that I've seen every episode, but it was an awfully long time ago. So, starting at the very beginning is something I'm looking forward to. Let's watch nine seasons of the show about nothing.
And now! The pilot!
The pilot to Seinfeld's interesting, because there are substantial differences from the show as we remember it. Normally, this would have been a non-broadcast pilot and they'd have re-shot it with the new cast before it went to air. Why did that not happen? Not sure. But it aired in 1989, so maybe things were different then? Or, more likely, they just weren't willing to spend any money.
This episode is essentially the Jerry and George show. The thing that jumps out is that they're so young! They look like babies! This episode aired 21 years ago, so you've got to take that into consideration. Still! Babies!
