[1] The episode was first shown on NBC on April 28, 1994,[1] and garnered an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for Judge Reinhold.
The episode's storylines include George trying to weasel his way out of a commitment to the Big Brother program, Elaine's discomfort with her boyfriend's friendliness, Morty scheming to sell boxes of raincoats he designed before he and Helen go on vacation, and Jerry and his girlfriend being caught making out at a theatrical showing of Schindler's List.
Alec approaches George in Monk's with an offer to join the Big Brother program.
Aaron volunteers to escort Jerry’s parents on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Morty makes plans to get Jack Klompus to send his boxes of unsold Executives up to New York City before he leaves for Paris.
Aaron takes Elaine to see a stage production of My Fair Lady, and acquires additional tickets for Helen and Morty.
Jack Klompus rings again to tell Morty he had to break a window to get into the garage and that the Executives will be in New York City by 2:00 in the afternoon the next day.
Back at Monk’s, Jerry tells Elaine that his parents were robbed because Jack Klompus never fixed the broken window.
Larry David said the idea of making out at Schindler's List "must have come from sitting in temple ... thinking what would happen if I reached over and touched my wife's breast now, or something like that.
"[3] Jerry Seinfeld commented that Schindler's List was specifically chosen because they knew that the film's director, Steven Spielberg, was a fan of the show.
[4] The audience's laughter from the performance with David was then applied to a later filming with Pearlman for the broadcast episode.
