The Shower Head

From Wikisein

Season 7, episode 15 (aired 15 February 1996)

[edit] Notes About Nothing

• The theme of a place having absolutely no homes left to rent is continued from The Maestro. There it was the whole of Tuscany, here it's Florida housing development Del Boca Vista.
• Jay Leno appears in this episode as himself.
• There's nice scene about two thirds through this episode where George's parents break the news that they intend to move to Del Boca Vista, thus away from him, and the reason is to spite the Seinfelds. Frank Costanza starts shouting in his typical manner and George joins right along with him, shouting in playful banter. It's one of the few scenes where George seems genuinely at ease in his parents company and regardless of the reason it's still quite touching.
