20 Years Later - Is Seinfeld Still Stuck in that Parking Garage?

"The problem with the mall garage is that everything looks the same. They try to differentiate between levels. They put up different colors, different numbers, different letters. What they need to do is name the levels, like, 'Your mother's a whore.' You would remember that."

So proclaimed Jerry Seinfeld in the "Parking Garage" episode of Seinfeld, which first aired on NBC twenty years ago today, on October 30, 1991. This 23rd episode of the series where Jerry, Kramer, George and Elaine wander aimlessly in a parking garage, placed 33rd on TV Guide's list of the 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. A dying goldfish, a frightening condition called uromisitisis poisoning (which apparently does not justify public urination), and a sensitive Christian Scientist all make it into the plot of one of the series' most beloved episodes. And here's a fun fact: according to editor Janet Ashikaga, the episode is based on the parking garage at L.A.'s Century City Mall.

Ashikaga, director Tom Cherones, and production designer Tom Azzari share their memories of one of the series' most difficult episodes to shoot:
