I LOVE the show Seinfeld, always have, but now when watching it I can’t help but thinking about the problems they’re dealing with and how in some cases they’d be EASILY solved with todays technology and other current day solutions. In this podcast we take a different look at the show and try to help solve the problems for our friends, Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer, and…Newman.

    3. The Robbery | Solving Seinfeld | 428 Podcasts | Ben Lewis

    Could one of the earliest Seinfeld disasters have been prevented with a smart lock? In this episode of Solving Seinfeld, we’re tackling Season 1, Episode 3: “The Robbery.” Jerry makes one critical mistake: he trusts Kramer to watch his apartment. Kramer leaves the door open, Jerry gets robbed, Jerry considers moving, Elaine wants his apartment, George gets involved—and suddenly we have a classic Seinfeld mess. But would any of this happen in 2026? We break down how smart locks, video doorbells, security cameras, renters insurance, tracking devices, apartment apps, and even a simple smartphone could completely change the episode. Of course, there’s one problem technology can’t solve… Kramer is still Kramer. That’s what Solving Seinfeld is all about: going episode by episode through the show about nothing and asking one simple question: How would we solve this TODAY? Think you’ve got a better solution? Tell me how YOU would solve “The Robbery” with today’s technology. And if there’s a Seinfeld problem you’ve always thought could be easily solved today, send it my way—I may feature your solution on a future episode. 👉 Follow or subscribe to Solving Seinfeld so you don’t miss the next episode. 💬 Comment with your solution to this week’s problem. 📲 Share this episode with the biggest Seinfeld fan you know. ⭐ Rate and review the podcast—it helps more Seinfeld fans find the show.
