Trivia
Writer Peter Mehlman took credit for introducing the word "shrinkage" with apparently enthusiastic approval from Larry David. Conversely, Mehlman gave David credit for "sponge-worthy," the catchword from The Sponge (1995). "Shrinkage" later was used in a Budweiser commercial and cited as a testament to the show's influence.

Goofs
When Jane, George's topless girlfriend, turns away from the three on the porch to enter the house, flesh-colored material can be seen covering her breast.

Quotes
George Costanza: Well, how good a look did you get?
Jerry Seinfeld: What do you mean?
George Costanza: Well, if she was a criminal and you had to describe her to a police sketch artist.
Jerry Seinfeld: They'd pick her up in about 10 minutes.
