Seinfeld help wanted... wasn't there a seinfeld episode where he's trying to watch a tape recorded big game and avoiding conversations about the outcome? Which episode was that? Or am I thinking of a different show?

It was an early one. I believe, when Kramer was called "Kessler."

It was "The Likely Lads" on UK TV in the 60s or 70s, where they were going to watch the match that evening.

It was also on an episode of Scrubs, but it would take some research to find it.

You know, we can laugh at this ("VHS tapes.. time shift much?") but there is a really deep metaphysical problem that timeshifting presents to the sense-maker. It used to be that timeshift was due to geography - yours, or the event's - and a limitation of analog broadcast era.

But we now live in an infosphere that doesn't attempt to preserve temporal coherence for anyone. Especially problematic b/c Internet has infinite perfect memory. So there is no pervasive driver to snap us into a coherent (albeit fragmented) "present".

Looks like it does exist on Seinfeld youtube.com/watch?v=k4BUnm. I'm not sure which episode it's from. Mets Game. There was a similar plot element on an episode of Brooklyn 99
