Same old shows in syndication

Question🙁 Disliked it

Fans complain that syndicated Seinfeld repeats the same episodes too frequently and request more variety from all 160+ episodes, with suggestions for chronological airings and contacting schedulers.

I wish they would add alot more shows to the mix. I seem to be seeing the same shows every month or two. In 8 years they've done at least 160 shows, yet they aren't all in the rotation. Any ideas?

Cool Jimjimster

You should have come to New Zealand in December. The TV station started repeating all episodes ever made from episode 1 onwards ( to about series 7) in sequence weeknights at 11.Last night I saw the Bubble Boy episode. In article , [email] wrote:

Well, I haven't really noticed before, but recently syndication has been in order of somewhat recent episodes. Almost all Seinfeld I've seen have been in syndication so I don't know if they've all been aired.

The syndicated shows are running over somewhat. It's pretty random the way they air them, it's not chronological or anything. So it's hard to know what they've done recently. There are several episodes that I haven't seen, and I haven't missed an episode (new or syndicated) since last June. Oh, well...they'll come around eventually. Michael Alexander

I agree. Too many shows are repeated too quickly in syndication. Does anyone know who chooses the shows to be shown? We should contact them. I, for one, would like to see the shows chronologically, starting with the first season. You could better see the development of the characters and the writing. Jeff Laderman

Yes, that would be good. I'm always getting frustrated as I am currently trying to amass a collection, and they tend not to show many episodes from seasons 4 and 7, but I have all of season 1, 5, 6 and obviously 8 (the current one, not from syndication). We can always start an e-mail campaign out of this newsgroup, especailly with the fact that they haven't updated their scehdule in weeks!

You're not the only one. I'm only missing FOUR episodes and they are NEVER shown. The one I want the most is when George goes to a holistic healer. This is the only Seinfeld episode I have never seen. I hear he turns purple. D'oh! I gotta see it! I'm going bonkers waiting for them to show it!
