The Summer of George

In this episode, after being fired from the New York Yankees, George wallows in idleness, while assisting Jerry with a girlfriend who is too much work for him to handle by himself.

While Kramer fills a seat for a nominee who has stepped away, he accidentally receives a Tony Award for the musical Scarsdale Surprise, starring Raquel Welch.

When Lanette needs invitations to a party, George picks them up, but on the way back to his apartment he stops to play frisbee golf.

In a post-credits scene, George seems to be recovering as he participates in physiotherapy, while Sam struggles to swing her arms as she walks.

"[3] The character Sam was inspired by a high schoolmate of the episode's other co-writer Jeff Schaffer, Sonya Chada, who didn't swing her arms when she walked.

Rather, when Jerry Seinfeld came onto the set in a towel, the crew noticed that his chest hair had not fully regrown from when he shaved it for "The Muffin Tops", and decided to work this into the episode.

[2] Though guest star Raquel Welch had a reputation as being difficult to work with, as the episode itself parodies, the Seinfeld cast and crew said they encountered no problems with her and that she seemed happy to be a part of the show.
