The Pitch (Ep. 403)

Jerry is approached by NBC executives (just like in real life) who like his stand-up routine and are interested in working with him on creating a sitcom. Somehow George works his way into helping Jerry come up with an idea for the show. He decides, and somehow convinces Jerry, that their show should be about nothing. Whatever you do in everyday life, that's what the show is about. The president of NBC is not so thrilled about the idea of a show that is about absolutely nothing. Jerry tries to save the meeting by contending that it is about something, that something does happen, but George completely disagrees. He gets upset and starts talking about how his "artistic integrity" will not be compromised.

Kramer makes a trade with Newman giving him a radar detector for a bicycle helmet. Later, Newman gets a speeding ticket because the radar detector doesn't actually work. Kramer also pitches the idea of Jerry being the ringleader for a circus freak show for the sitcom; Jerry quickly rejects this idea.

Jerry and George go to NBC to pitch the idea and while there bump into "Crazy" Joe Davola. Joe Davola is an aquaintance of Jerry and Kramer's and Jerry in his nervousness makes a comment about seeing Joe at Kramer's party. Joe is not invited to Kramer's party and gets upset with Kramer. Eventually, Kramer gets blindsided by a Joe Davola kick and smashes his head on the sidewalk. Luckily, he is wearing the bicycle helmet he got from Newman.
