The ratings are based less on cultural significance - you’ll find many recognizable episodes fairly low on the list - and more on the density and quality of jokes, the inclusion of multiple strong narrative arcs, and, to a lesser extent, how well the comedy and stories have aged.

But with 169 episodes in the Seinfeld archive, it’s understandable if you’re intimidated by the the idea of entering the vault without a guide. Following years of speculation about when and where the historic sitcom would arrive online, it is finally available to stream on Hulu. This story was originally published in 2015 and is being republished with the news that Seinfeld will be moving to Netflix on October 1.Īt long last, you can clear all those syndicated Seinfeld episodes off your DVR.
