In an episode guide on http://epguides.com/Seinfeld/ there is a note saying "45 min" for the "The Finale" Part 1. I have 1999 re-run of this episode on my vhs and total time of this episode (excluding commercials) is 21min45sec. Even if I add the timelength of Part 2 (0:21'54'') it is still only 43'40'' long. Is it a mistake on a website or is my re-run copy short of some originally broadcasted parts?

❓ Question
Fans discuss whether syndication cuts affected the runtime of The Finale Part 1, with one noting that the combined runtime of both parts falls short of the claimed 45-minute length.

More likely than not, syndication cuts stole the missing minute-and-a-half.
