“The Outing”
Estelle ends up back in the hospital after again falling off her toilet and throwing out her back, this time from reading the article implying Jerry and George are gay.
“The Handicap Spot”
The first appearance of the Costanza House, where Frank wins the Silver Circle Award, and United Volunteers Representative of the Month…and is then arrested for “reckless endangerment of public safety in violation of traffic code 342-A” for parking in a handicap spot. As payback for his car damage and humiliation, Frank makes George his butler.
“The Puffy Shirt”
George moves back in with his parents, only with $714 in his bank account, before briefly becoming a hand model.

Lloyd Braun drops in for a visit with the Costanzas, revealing George’s “spasm” in his arm.
“The Cigar Store Indian”
Jerry and Elaine mention the house smells like dandruff, kasha, mothballs, cheap carpeting…potpourri really. George hosts Sylvia at the house, pretending its his own…but he can only serve prune juice because he “forgot” the combination to the liquor cabinet. Frank discovers his TV Guide is missing, and Estelle finds a condom wrapper on her bed, and as a result, George is grounded.
“The Conversion”
George studies Latvian Orthodox theology in the bathroom, in the hopes of converting, nearly prompting another “Contest” incident. He later likens himself to King Edward VIII, to which Jerry rebuts with “but King Edward didn’t live in Queens with Frank and Estelle Costanza.” Frank later tells George he believes that the church is the group “that goes around mutilating squirrels!”

Mr. Steinbrenner goes to tell the Costanzas of George’s death…and Steinbrenner gets the business from Frank for trading Jay Buhner.

“The Susie”

“The Strike”
George brings Mr. Kruger over for Festivus dinner, prompting an evening of insanity with Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, the two Off-Track Betting employees, and eventually Gwen the “two-face.”
“The Finale”
George tells Frank and Estelle that he is moving to California to write for “Jerry.”
This address is incorrect. The correct address is 2237 37th Street in Astoria.
Astoria is beautiful. Flushing (“Frushing”) is a toilet ironically that will never be flushed away.
Hey Rob – this is based on the address shown for the Costanzas in “The Cigar Store Indian.” But the page does call out the proper Astoria house in the introduction of the page.
Thanks for visiting!
