I know that there are flashbacks later in the season of various things (like Jerry moving in and meeting a somewhat-normalKramer for the first time). Maybe you saw one of those?
On the Digital TV/HDTV, yeah. You should consider getting DigitalTV, at least. Eventually they'll phase out analog and it'll all be digital. Monthly, it's only $1 more than Classic Cable (which you have). You just have to let them ream you on the signal receiver box or PVR (with a built-in signal receiver box). You get a shiny Program Guide and access to variety of other channels, some of which you have to pay extra for (but they're relatively cheap).
