The Secret Code - S7-E7

Trivia: George's secret code is revealed to be Bosco. Earlier in the episode, when he is arguing with Susan about the secrets they keep from each other, he ends the scene by saying "We're out of Bosco."

The Wink - S7-E4

Trivia: In reference to (the real) George Steinbrenner's habit of hiring and firing Billy Martin as the Yankees' manager, in one scene Steinbrenner lists all the managers he has fired and mentions Martin four times.

The Caddy - S7-E12

Trivia: Armin Shimerman hated guest-starring in this episode. He has described the four main characters as being dismissive and ignoring him completely outside of filming. At one point, Jerry Seinfeld and Julia Louis-Dreyfus sat down on either side of him, on a bench, and talked "around him" for half an hour, as if he were not there.

The Dog - S3-E4

Character mistake: When George and Elaine go to the coffee shop after The Movie without Jerry, they establish that Elaine moved to NYC in 1986. Then they make fun of the way that Jerry throws up; both imitating Jerry. The "Dinner Party" episode is after the "The Dog". In the "Dinner Party" episode, Jerry brags that he hasn't thrown up since June 29th, 1980. The black and white cookie ended this streak. Elaine would not have been around to see this, not arriving in NYC until 1986.

More quotes from Seinfeld

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".
