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.

The Non-Fat Yogurt
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!”

The Marine Biologist
George makes contact with Diane DeConn, talking about squids and plankton as part of his quest to be a pretend marine biologist.

The Raincoats

George goes to try and convince his parents to move to Del Boca Vista, which they do, but only out of spite against the Seinfelds.

The Doll
Frank puts a pool table in George’s room (deeming it “the place to be”), but its a tad squishy for Frank, Kramer and the Maestro.

The Susie
George ends up sleeping here when ditching Allison at his apartment.

The Serenity Now
George and Kramer go to fix Frank’s screen door (Kramer: “I love going to the country”), and Kramer takes the door home, while George reignites his feud with Lloyd Braun. George and Lloyd compete to sell computers in the Costanza’s garage, with neither actually selling anything for “Constanza and Son.”

Kramer is eventually hired, but starts a fight with the owner after they refuse to take pennies for payment, and after they burn his jacket and shirt in their pizza oven.

The Label Maker (season 6, episode 12)

written by Alec Berg & Jeff Schaffer, directed by Andy Ackerman
original airdate: January 19, 1995

Elaine and Jerry discover that Tim Whatley “re-gifted” a label maker. Kramer and Newman engage in a ferocious game of Risk. George feels threatened by his girlfriend’s male roommate. Everyone’s got Super Bowl fever and Jerry’s sickened by who ultimately joins him at the game.

FEATURED LOCATIONS

The Improv

Jerry’s Apartment
Jerry and Elaine engage in a game of cat and mouse with Dr. Tim Whatley, to determine if he regifted, degifted, and “is using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp!” Kramer and Newman engage in an epic battle of risk, using Jerry’s Apartment as a neutral playing ground.
