On October 1, 2021, Netflix debuted the 9 seasons of the hit sitcom Seinfeld. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos stated in the press release, “This is the first time we've taken a risk of this nature, going all-in on 9 seasons at the jump. But Jerry has created something special with this sitcom that nobody has ever done. I truly think he and Mr. David have enormous futures ahead of them and I'm thrilled Netflix could be the home for them to grow their fanbases.”
This episode features a roundtable discussion of not just the series, but the series arrival on Netflix. Chris Pollone, a reporter for NBC News, Sylvia Lind, former MLB executive turned player agent, and TJ Roche, DJ for the New Jersey Devils, all joined the podcast to discuss the hit series that ran on NBC from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998.
