| ...were actually recorded twice. |
00:00:07.600 - 00:00:09.830 |
| The first time,
the set was very brightly lit... |
00:00:26.640 - 00:00:29.916 |
| ...and featured an old-fashioned piano
behind Jerry... |
00:00:30.080 - 00:00:33.516 |
| ...making it appear as though
he was performing... |
00:00:33.680 - 00:00:37.355 |
| ...in a church basement. |
00:00:37.520 - 00:00:39.192 |
| The set was redone
to look more like a nightclub... |
00:00:57.440 - 00:01:00.910 |
| ...and Jerry performed
the material again. |
00:01:01.080 - 00:01:03.913 |
| Some material from that
first recording session... |
00:01:16.440 - 00:01:19.989 |
| ...can be found elsewhere
in this collection. |
00:01:20.160 - 00:01:23.357 |
| Though it aired third,
"Male-Unbonding"... |
00:01:34.680 - 00:01:36.591 |
| ...was the first of the four
first season episodes to be filmed. |
00:01:36.760 - 00:01:39.832 |

00:01:48.600 - 00:01:51.433 |
| Executive producer Howard West
was alarmed... |
00:01:51.600 - 00:01:54.239 |
| ...when Hollywood trade magazine
Variety did not include Seinfeld... |
00:01:54.400 - 00:01:57.756 |
| ...in its list of picked-up pilots. |
00:01:57.920 - 00:01:59.672 |
| He was told this was because
the show had been ordered... |
00:01:59.840 - 00:02:02.400 |
| ...through NBC's Late Night
and Specials department... |
00:02:02.560 - 00:02:05.074 |
