Is there a system in this schedule?

The Paramount Comedy Channel is showing Seinfeld episodes in this order in September. Is there a system here? I would say no but when Sky One showed Seinfeld for the first time ever in Britain they showed the episodes in the same order.

1 1."Good News, Bad News" 2 4."Male Unbonding" 3 2."The Stakeout" 4 3."The Robbery" 5 5."The Stock Tip" 6 6."The Ex-Girlfriend" 7 7."The Pony Remark" 8 17."The Busboy" 9 15."The Baby Shower" 10 8."The Jacket" 11 16."The Chinese Restaurant" 12 9."The Phone Message" 13 10."The Apartment" 14 27."The Stranded" 15 11."The Statue" 16 13."The Heart Attack" 17 12."The Revenge" 18 14."The Deal" 19 Cheers Weekend 20 Cheers Weekend 21 18."The Note" 22 19."The Truth" 23 21."The Dog" 24 22."The Library" 25 20 or 26 ? TV Guide doesn't say 26 23."The Parking Garage" 27 24."The Cafe" 28 25."The Tape" 29 26 or 20 ? TV Guide doesn't say 30 28."The Alternate Side"

I really don't think there is a system. I don't know how they decide on what to air. Several times I've seen an episode air twice in six weeks and another not air for six months or even longer. <shrug> I guess we just have to take what we get...you think Kruger is in charge of all this?

Unfortunately it's being shown in production order and not transmission order. I've e-mailed them about this and they are usually quite good about rectifying problems once they are pointed out. We can only wait and see.

Don't know where you're watching it (Paramount doesn't run the Comedy Channel in the US or Canada...and UPN, their broadcast network in the US, has never had rights to Seinfeld and most of its affiliates don't in their local markets either)...but the list of episodes you're posting reads much like the original sequence of NBC first-run broadcasts of the program in the United States. It looks like they're re-running the episodes essentially in the order of initial release in the US and Canada, which would make sense (although NBC actually showed a few episodes OUT of sequence in the initial US run, during the first and second seasons, for some reason no one has ever explained).
