Something About Google

People who know me know I love Google. Plain and simple. Whenever I have a stupid mundane question, Google is there. Case in point:

On Monday and Tuesday I watch Seinfeld on T.V. . On Tuesday I watched episode 62: "The Handicap Spot." As I was kind of listening and kind of emailing at the same time, George's father "Frank" appeared on the show. Thing is, it wasn't Jerry Stiller. "Who on earth is that?" I really had to stop and think about what was going on. I've seen the episode countless times and I was definite that every time Jerry Stiller has played the part of Frank. Enter Google. By simply typing "Seinfeld Handicap Spot" I was able to get a complete synopsis of that particular episode. Turns out that shortly after taping the episode NBC hired Jerry Stiller to replace actor John Randolph as the part of Frank. The scenes with "Frank" were then re-shot with Jerry Stiller. What I found was that this only occurred in the United States. Overseas showings of the episode are the originals with John Randolph playing the part of "Frank." Interesting. Google can make anyone seem like they know what they are talking about.
