Who’s Your Daddy?

You may remember that I have turned in to quite a Seinfeld junkie lately. I love watching the old episodes. Recently, they showed the Seinfeld final episode. You know, the one with the trial.

My deep thought for the day? Who were Elaine’s parents? Did she have a family?

We saw Kramer’s mom, it’s how we found out his first name was Cosmo. Jerry & George’s parents are characters on the show that we see a lot. But Elaine? Nothing. Who are her parents? Does she have any siblings? Why don’t we know these things?

Has anyone got a clue about Elaine’s parents? No. What’s up with that?

Elaine’s father was an author who only appeared on one show.

Other than that, there wasn’t much mentioned about them, the same as Kramer.

I’m not an addict, I can quit watching anytime I want.

i seem to remember that her mother lived around the city somewhere; elaine popped over to see her after work one day. remember the episode with the panties laid out on the bed?

I do remember her father. It was the episode where Jerry & George meet him at his hotel and they’re waiting and waiting for Elaine. Then they have to trek out in the rain with Jerry’s new leather jacket. Needless to say, it was ruined. Then Kramer took it over.

I do not recall this underwear episode with her mother though.

Damn I watch too much tv.

Gosh, I’ve never seen either of those episodes and yes, I have wondered about Elaine’s parents too.

Ha, I love the one where we learn Kramer’s first name from his mother who works in a ladies room handing out powder and stuff. Oh, man. Too good.

been reading your site lately. go sox! my boyfriend watches seinfeld 3 times in a row on different stations! (hence, i too am watching it!) he’s not an addict either! ha ha!

My husband’s brother loves Seinfeld as much as we do, and we have a bet whenever we go over to his place as to how many minutes will pass before Bro quotes Seinfeld. The longest he’s gone is about ten minutes.

Elaine’s father Alton Benes was played by the late gravelly-voiced actor Laurence Tierney (who also played the Try-n-Save Security Guard Don Brodka on “The Simpsons.” That’s right, Don Brodka.)

I thought Elaine was created in a lab run my crazy sitcom writers.
