I love Christmas for the atmosphere, time off work and of course the killer presents that I get. I was given some great presents. One of those presents was season 9 of Seinfeld. My collection is now complete.
I thought that I would share a couple of my favorite clips from the show.
George is my favorite character. He knows he is a born loser but he he makes it look so funny.
I love when he pretends that he is handicap to get his own bathroom.
Of course I had to add the classic phone message from George
Kramer, when he gets a job in the city when he is not even really employed.
And of course Elaine and her amazing dancing skills.
I love this show and all the characters. There are so many funny clips that I don't have enough time to get them all on here.
I also found some interesting facts about the show.
This is a ratings chart for the last years of the show.
| Season | Ranking | Viewership |
|---|---|---|
| Four (1992–93) | 25 | 12,754,700[22] |
| Five (1993–94) | 3 | 18,274,800[23] |
| Six (1994–95) | 1 | 19,652,400[24] |
| Seven (1995–96) | 2 | 20,330,800[25] |
| Eight (1996–97) | 2 | 19,885,000[26] |
| Nine (1997–98) | 1 | 21,266,000[27] |
The show was very popular and that meant a lot of money for Jerry. I pulled this from Forbes magazine.
Jerry Seinfeld's annual earning from the show in 1998 was $267 million, making him the highest-earning celebrity that year.
Seinfeld still generates more revenue than most current shows, through syndication. He reportedly turned down $5 million per episode, for 22 episodes, to continue the show beyond its final season.[12] In 2006, he earned $60 million from syndication deals and stand-up appearances.
I wish that Jerry would have taken the 5 million a show for a final year. I would love to see another 22 episodes.
Now that I have all 9 seasons my life feels a little more complete. I now have all 180 episodes that I can watch when I want. It was a good Christmas.
This clip is the first episode that I ever watched. Got me hooked.
