Seinfeld (1989)

The Parking Garage (season 3, 1991) The gang loses Kramer's car in a mall parking garage, and the show builds a whole episode out of the universal panic of every level looking the same. The garage was a set: Jerry's apartment and the audience seating were removed to make room for it, and mirrors and shifting camera angles create the illusion of a vast multi-level structure. It was the first Seinfeld episode filmed without a studio audience, which gives it a flatter, more trapped feel than the series' usual rhythm. Where The Chinese Restaurant confines them in time, this one confines them in space, with Kramer lugging an air conditioner throughout.
