Anyway, back to the show! I want to point out some things that only a few people know about the Seinfeld show:
- The series began and ended with a conversation about a shirt button
When the end inevitably came for Seinfeld, the shows' many fans began speculating how the series might end. Would Jerry and Elaine finally acknowledge their feelings for each other and get married? Would George find a job he could actually hold onto? Would Kramer stop bursting into Jerry’s apartment unannounced? As it turned out, the series finale -- penned by co-creator Larry David -- ultimately sent the cynical foursome to prison for their lack of compassion toward others and the show concluded with the gang settling not-so-comfortably into their new lives as inmates.Prior to the final scene in which Jerry can be seen performing a stand-up routine for his fellow prisoners, Jerry and George participate in a discussion revolving around the placement of a button on George’s shirt. This conversation is almost a word-for-word reproduction of the dialogue that opened the series way back in July 1989, as the two friends sat in Pete’s Luncheonette and debated the merits of George’s button placement.
- Other actors originally played Newman, Morty Seinfeld and Frank Costanza
- Elaine Benes was not an original part of the cast
When Seinfeld premiered on July 5, 1989, it actually aired under the name The Seinfeld Chronicles. The layout and pacing of the show were essentially the same, with one notable (and unmistakable) difference: the absence of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Elaine Benes. Character actress Lee Garlington was originally cast as a sassy waitress named Claire, and -- given that she was credited as a series regular in that pilot episode -- there’s little doubt that her character was meant to fill the void that Elaine eventually came to fill.
- Festivus was created in 1966 by a Reader's Digest editor

Yet, what most Seinfeld fans don’t realize is that Festivus was actually created before Jerry Seinfeld even hit his teen years. Back in 1966, Reader’s Digest editor Dan O’Keefe invented Festivus as a means of celebrating the first date he ever had with his wife. Though the first Festivus transpired during the month of February, the faux holiday was eventually moved to December. Festivus came to Seinfeld in the form of O’Keefe’s son Daniel, who was working for the show as a writer and decided to include the holiday in the aforementioned episode “The Strike”
