List of Seinfeld episodes

This is an episode list of the United States sitcom Seinfeld, created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. Seinfeld was a "show about nothing",[1] similar to the self-parodying "show within a show" of fourth-season episodes "The Pilot, Part 1" and "Part 2". Jerry Seinfeld was the lead character and played as a fictionalized version of himself. Set predominantly in an apartment block on New York City's Upper West Side, the show features a host of Jerry's friends and acquaintances, which include George Costanza, Elaine Benes and Cosmo Kramer, who are portrayed by Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards, respectively.[2]

The series debuted on July 5, 1989, on NBC as The Seinfeld Chronicles.[3] The pilot episode met with poor reviews, as a result, NBC passed on the show. However, NBC executive Rick Ludwin believed the series had potential. He therefore gave Seinfeld a budget to create four more episodes, which formed the rest of season 1 which began airing on May 31, 1990.[4][5] The first season is considered the smallest sitcom order in television history.[6] During its nine-year run, 180 episodes of Seinfeld were produced. The count includes both halves of three one-hour episodes, including the finale, and two retrospective episodes, each split into two parts: "The Highlights of 100", covering the first 100 episodes; and "The Clip Show", also known as "The Chronicle", which aired before the series finale. On November 25, 2004, a special titled The Seinfeld Story was broadcast. This marked the first appearance of Seinfeld on NBC since its series finale in 1998.[7] All nine seasons are available on DVD and, as of 2008, the show is still rerun regularly in syndication.[8] The final episode aired on May 14, 1998.[5]

This list is arranged in the order the episodes were broadcast.
