The Doodle - S6-E20
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Newman's apartment number is 5F but in all the episodes both before and after, The Apartment number is 5E.
Factual error: The Devils-Rangers game is at Madison Square Garden, but when the Devils score, a siren goes off. That would only occur in the event of a Rangers goal.
Character mistake: George makes a big deal about wanting to say "I love you" to the girl he's dating and says he's never said it to a girl, just a dog once, and he wants to say it just once. But in s02e01, "The Ex-Girlfriend", George tells Jerry he had to say "I love you" to Marlene when she told him she loves him.
Continuity mistake: In the episode with Bette Midler, she is injured when George tackles her at home plate. When he hits her, she is knocked into somebody. When they show her again, she is sprawled against the backstop with no one behind or even near her that seems to be hurt. George also misses home plate.
Continuity mistake: When Elaine gets kicked out of the nail salon it is a clear day (in fact the whole episode is) then the next scene she meets J Peterman at night and in the rain. When she left the salon she is wearing a red blouse, no jacket. When she meets Peterman she is in a trench coat with a white blouse. The Peterman portion of this episode really makes no sense.
Factual error: At the end of the episode in which George and Susan get engaged, they are lying in bed together watching "Mad About You" on TV. However, at some earlier point on "Mad About You" it had been established in a crossover episode that Paul Reiser was the person who lived in Jerry's apartment before him and was an old acquaintence of Kramer's, meaning that "Seinfeld" and "Mad About You" existed in the same reality. On "Seinfeld," the show "Mad About You" could not exist.
Revealing mistake: When Jerry and Kramer are in the theater, Kramer trips and spills his cafe latte all over his shirt. But you can see the coffee stain on his shirt before he trips and spills it.
Continuity mistake: When Elaine crushes the beer can in Jerry's apartment, she leaves it on the counter. After she walks out of The Apartment, the beer can is on the cutting board.
The Hot Tub - S7-E5
Deliberate mistake: When Elaine comes home and doesn't find Sean Paul there, she runs to her neighbour across The Apartment. The neighbour opens the door and stands outside it then the door slowly closes behind him. Suddenly, the door opens again with a swoosh without anyone being there. Because the camera switches angle right after this, it is apparent it was opened to gain this shot or to at least permit it continuity wise. (00:16:40 - 00:17:10)
Continuity mistake: In the start of the scene when Kramer tells Elaine that the armoire got stolen. When Elaine walks in from the right side she walks right past the armoire, and it still has the two blue straps on it so it's the same one. The gaffe seems to have been edited out in some versions. (00:09:50)
Audio problem: The end of the word "bluey" that George is saying is cut off suddenly at a change to the shot of Jerry. (00:20:20)
Continuity mistake: When Jerry finds The Soup Nazi's recipes in the armoire he hands Elaine at most 4 pieces of paper, but when the shot changes to Elaine the number of recipes in her hands has increased dramatically.
The Pool Guy - S7-E8
Audio problem: When Elaine is arguing with George, she says the sentence "I like her," and the end of the word "her" is audibly cut off while she is still saying it. (00:11:55)
The Sponge - S7-E9
Audio problem: When Kramer says "I read it in Wall Street Week," his mouth does not sync with the words. It looks like he said "Wall Street Journal."
The Sponge - S7-E9
Factual error: During the AIDS walk there is an officer seen several times with a patch "Transit Police, NYC." Not only is the patch completely fictional, it doesn't look anything like the real transit police logo. The Transit Police had already been defunct by the time of this episode.
Plot hole: When George and Jerry are discussing The Rye bread scheme, George says Susan is working late that night, so she won't be around when he sneaks The Rye into the house. But when George reels The Rye in with the fishing pole, Susan is standing there with her parents, wearing her coat. When did she get home? She couldn't have entered through the front door, because Jerry was there tossing The Rye up to George. And since it's a New York City brownstone, there's no backdoor that's accessible. There's no logical explanation for her getting into the house to see George reeling in The Rye.
Continuity mistake: When Jerry and Elaine are talking in The Apartment, after George and Kramer go see the horse, the G+W Motorwerkes magnet disappears from the fridge.
Continuity mistake: When George and Susan are arguing over dinner about her cousin stealing the name Seven, Susan holds her glass up to her mouth in one shot. In the very next shot, the glass is on the table.
Answer: Composer Jonathan Wolff used a synthesizer, although in seasons 7-9, a real bass is used in addition. Wolff also recorded himself making hundreds of mouth noises, pops, and slaps to add to the synthesized bass licks so that each episode has a different theme. The only real "back-story" is Jerry Seinfeld was having trouble coming up with a theme song and talked to a friend who happened to know Wolff. They wanted to avoid that cheesy late 80's sit-com theme song and Wolff came up with what we enjoy now. Jonathan Wolff has also talked about this further in interviews, recently Reed Dunela interviewed him, so for a fuller account of his story; check out "The Wolff of 116th street".
