Affairs and cheating, drinking, nudity in live-action sitcom.

Parents need to know that Seinfeld S6 E17, "The Kiss Hello", is a live-action sitcom episode. The series is known for adult premises played dry — most of it goes over younger heads. Scores low: the strongest thing we found is affairs / cheating (moderate, in dialogue). Violence is mild but includes ELAINE says, "(slapping George on the arm) What did you do that for?". Sexual content is mild but includes JERRY says, "Well, you know, frankly, outside of a sexual relationship, I"; you know you have to do this. I mean, if you could, say, touch a breast as part. Some mild language appears in the dialogue. Characters drink or talk about alcohol and drugs — GUY says, "I'll go get some more beer". Every flagged moment below is a direct quote from the transcript or a short description of what happens on screen.
