Notes and Trivia
A deleted scene from the Season 9 DVD set features a brief appearance of Bob Saccamano Senior.
When Morty protests that he resigned as condo president instead of being impeached, he is making a reference to Richard Nixon, who resigned from Presidency of the United States before he could be impeached.
When George says, 'Ya wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!", he is making an homage to the scene from the 1989 film "Batman" where Batman (Michael Keaton) confronts the Joker (Jack Nicholson).
The Boca Breeze also reports on Larry David's hole in one, hurting his elbow and his never playing golf again.
Goofs
When Elaine is talking to the waitress at the coffee shop, the waitress is holding a menu in one hand. After Darryl sits down it cuts back to the waitress and she is now holding a glass of orange juice and a menu.
When Elaine is talking to George and Jerry about Darryl possibly being black, her purse switches from being on her shoulder to not being visible at all.
When Kramer is greeting people on his campaign trail, it's obvious there is a doll, not a real baby in the baby carriage pushed by the mom.
If you watch Mr. Ross closely at Monks after Elaine leaves you can clearly see him having his hands behind his back one second and the next shot shows him immediately having his hands in his pockets.
