Yes, Seinfeld had some good moments but come on! The cover of major magazines??
Media overkill.

Fans debate whether Jerry Seinfeld's magazine covers around the time of The Dealership episode represent excessive media promotion or are justified by his status as television's highest-paid star.

Only the ones owned by Time-Warner -- also the owners of the series. Coincidence, I'm sure.

TW doesn't own the series. Columbia does (they, AFAIK, own Castle Rock.)
According to NBC.com, " 'Seinfeld' is a West/Shapiro Production in association with Castle Rock Entertainment."
According to Castle Rock's corporate logo, it is a Time-Warner company.
Columbia (Sony) apparently controls the syndication, but TW is the big winner from "Seinfeld" (as well as we fans, of course, and Jerry himself).
So I stand by my original post about the unseemliness of TW mags promoting the show they own and from which they profit.
He's the highest paid TV star in TV history. Why not get a magazine cover ?
I hate to bring this up, but didn't Tim Allen recently sign a larger contract (more money than Jerry) for Home Improvement?

Actually, he did. But, I believe it is for next season. Still, it is for $1.3 million per episode whereas Jerry was offered much more than that if he continued. But, since he is leaving this season, Tim Allen will take his title as highest paid.
