Wow. So the first thing I have to mention here is Jerry’s
jacket for the first stand up scene. The best way I can describe it is that it
looks like space. And what I mean by that is, is if you were looking up at the
night sky from a remote location you see blackness with tiny white dots all
around. That is this jacket. I’m not even listening to the material… Amazing…
Moving on…
So this was the first episode that made it to air after the
pilot. It starts off with Jerry and Elaine at a video store!(remember those?)
They make a deal with each other to accompany the other to an event they don’t
want to go to. The first is a dinner party for a friend of Elaine. Jerry is
attracted to a woman at the dinner and there’s a great internal monologue he
has in trying to determine if the guy she’s with is a boyfriend while
memorizing the woman’s law firm and attempting to avoid, without success, a
conversation with Elaine.
Next Jerry is back home and we meet his parents- except,
wait- who the hell is Jerry’s father?! THAT IS NOT Barney Martin!
The highlight of The Stakeout is the conversation George and
Jerry have while waiting to ‘run into’ the woman from the dinner. George is
still in real estate but when coming up with a cover story he decides he’s
a—that’s right—an architect. And the person he and Jerry are supposedly
meeting? Art Vandalay. So it begins…
