Festivus for the Rest of Us! The Hidden Gems and Interesting Facts About the Sitcom Seinfeld

No Hugging And No Learning… Or Else!

In all of the goofiness that occurred on the set of Seinfeld, there had to be some order and stability that came about as well. Producer Larry David had a strict policy that included two things: no hugging and no learning. What in the world do you think Larry David means by “no hugging or no learning?”

The characters on the show had to be kept in line as to not have any type of emotional attachment with the audience. In other words, stick to the humor at hand! There was to be no hugging at the end of a show if something emotional did happen, and no lessons were to be learned at the end of any given show. If someone had a problem during the show, it would just fester without any remedy.
