The Seinfeld Chronicles
The Seinfeld Chronicles tested badly, with viewers calling the supporting cast weak, and NBC nearly dropped it before ordering just four more episodes.
Q 09Seinfeld's first four regular episodes were paid for out of an NBC budget meant for what?

Specials: Rick Ludwin, who ran NBC's late-night shows and specials rather than its sitcoms, split two hours of that budget into four half-hours to keep the show alive.
Q 10What does George describe as "a full-bodied dry heave set to music"?

Mr. Lippman
Mr. Lippman's Pendant Publishing collapsed in 'The Opposite' (1994); he resurfaces in 'The Muffin Tops' (1997), opening the shop 'Top of the Muffin to You!' on Elaine's idea.

Q 14In 'The Marine Biologist,' what does George pull out of the whale's blowhole?
A golf ball
