Episode 5: The Library

Episode #22; 3:5


Our Summary

Elaine pretty unimportant, but her boss doesn't like her. Jerry has to return a book to the NYC Public Library that he took out in 1971. Jerry had given it to George, who lost it due to his gym teacher turned bum.



Our Commentary

Missing OCB, might be in the original ep or not, but it ain't in our script. Secretary = Babu's brother. MCB and CCB hilarious. Bookman hilarious. Clips of high school Jerry and George hilarious. Overall good ep.

22. "The Library" (October 16, 1991)

SUMMARY A librarian calls and asks Jerry about a book, Tropic of Capricorn, he checked out in 1971 and never returned. Jerry remembers he gave it to George. George blames not returning the book on his former high school gym teacher. Kramer has his eye on a librarian. Elaine's boss hates her recommendations.

BLOOPER Marion mentions that Mr. Bookman has been working at the library for twenty-five years. Later it's revealed that he started the job in 1971, which would mean he'd been working there twenty years, not twenty-five.

OF SPECIAL NOTE In this episode, Mr. Lippman is played by Harris Shore. In future episodes, Richard Fancy takes over.
