The Pitch and the Ticket

Fig. 1 (See "And 'The Pitch'..." and "Jerry, George and Kramer Pitch Things to NBC") This map illustrates how the episodes' structure puts in parallel several concepts: 1. That Kramer's vomiting on Susan is the third in a series of opinions on Jerry's television show; 2. That Jerry and George's collaborative pitch to the executives of NBC is akin to Newman and Kramer's phony testimony to the judge (that Newman was speeding because he needed to stop Kramer from killing himself because he never became a banker), and vice versa; 3. That the showed pitched to NBC would, if the authorities could be duped, be "about nothing," (as described to the executives in scene six at the end of the first cycle) but has storylines and likable characters as a necessary compromise (as described to the executives in scene sixteen at the end of the second cycle).  And that the coffeeshop is a black hole that consumes all the storylines into its infinite nothing.
