About Seinfeld
Seinfeld aired on NBC from July 1989 to May 1998. It follows Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer through dating disasters, schemes and etiquette wars across New York. Early seasons are looser and shorter, with Larry David shaping the misanthropic voice before the run of classics like the Contest, the Puffy Shirt and the Soup Nazi.
The two-part finale brings back dozens of side characters to testify against the group under a Good Samaritan law. Creators Jerry Seinfeld and David have said the ending stands as written, with the 2009 Curb reunion arc serving as the closest thing to an epilogue rather than a true continuation.
Good to know
Watch one through nine in broadcast order, since callbacks like the Frogger, the Marble Rye and the Betrayal inversion assume memory of earlier plots. Season one is only five episodes and feels tentative, so push into season three where the rhythm locks in. The finale splits fans, but it plays far better with the side characters fresh from their original episodes.
