Seinfeld's Super Bowl Numbers and Syndication




As a managing member of The Milestone Companies, Ronald Newman has completed numerous housing development projects in the Washington area. Ronald "Ron" Newman has more than 20 years experience in real estate development, and in his spare time he enjoys watching Seinfeld.

Created by Larry David and starring Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Seinfeld was one of the most popular sitcoms in the 1990s. The series' finale in 1998 was watched by 76.3 million people, which was just 14 million fewer than Super Bowl XXXII, the year's most-watched program. Ignoring Super Bowls, the Seinfeld finale was the most watched entertainment show on TV since the Cheers finale five years prior. 

Eighteen years since its last episode, Seinfeld remains relevant through record-breaking syndication numbers. Currently in its fifth cycle, the show had earned $3.1 billion from syndication through 2014. In April of 2015 video streaming service Hulu acquired the rights to the sitcom for $875,000 an episode.
