Is anyone else being driven crazy by this?
On Saturday, February 3, the Fox affiliate here in Washington, D.C., which has the syndication rights to our beloved show, showed the first episode, "The Seinfeld Chronicles." I was ecstatic over this because I thought it meant we were about to be treated to the episodes in order and from the beginning.
Instead, for the next week, this occurred:
Monday 2/5 Episode ? (a much later episode) Mr. Pitt becomes obsessed with Kramer's 3D poster.
Tuesday 2/6 Episode 9 "The Phone Message"
Wednesday 2/7 Episode 27 "The Stranded"
Thursday 2/8 Episode 11 "The Statue"
Friday 2/9 Episode ? Jerry decides to change barbers because his has a history of giving bad haircuts.
Saturday 2/10 Episode 4 "Male Unbonding"
Is this the way it is around the country? I assume individual affiliates in cities all over bid for the syndication rights and can do whatever they wish. But why would they choose to show the episodes in this random and irritating fashion? It would seem to be just as easy to show them in the order they were first aired, and far more satisfying for the audience.
