The Baby Shower (Seinfeld episode)
The Baby Shower is the fifteenth episode of the hit sitcom
Seinfeld. It aired on
May 16,
1991.
Elaine holds a
baby shower for a friend at Jerry's apartment. George is excited, because he finds the baby shower to be the perfect oppurtunity to "tell off" the woman who gave him "unequivocally, the worst date of
[his] life." These plans prove unsuccessful, as he cannot muster the courage necessary to do so. Ironically, a woman at the party does to Jerry what George had planned to do. Meanwhile, Kramer tries to convince Jerry to
pirate cable television. When the Russian cable "providers" show up, they ruin the shower.
The episode was the first episode written by
Larry Charles, who remained with the show through the fifth season. He left his mark on the episode by including the "bloodshed and mayhem" he's famous for: he "killed off" Jerry, via dream sequence.
* George says that his date poured
Bosco Chocolate Syrup on his shirt. In a later episode,
The Secret Code, George uses "BOSCO" as his
ATM code.
