Fans debate whether Newman's millennium party is correctly scheduled for 2000-2001 or if it should be for 2001-2002, with disagreement over when the actual millennium begins.
I was watching the millenuim episode last night, and I have a question about I think the last scene when Jerry is talking to Newman and says newman patry will be one year late.. thus quite lame
I want to know did newman plan his party for the new year of 2000 (1999 to 2000), thus making Jerry comment of 'being a year late' wrong? or was it supposed to be 2001 to 2002 that newman planed for the party.

Episode was correct. Newman planned for 2000-2001 by asking for the "Millenium" new year when making reservations. The big parties are planned for 1999-2000, which is NOT the start of a new millenium. Newman IS a year late, as Jerry said.
Since there was no year 0, the Millenium should begin in the year 2001. Not 2000. Therefore a Millenium party should be scheduled to begin December 31, 2000.
Newman, according to my thinking, is correct.
Yep, you and Newman are completely right. But, I think what Jerry is saying is that it's clear, in America at least, we're more than likely going to party like it's 1999 on Dec 31st, 1999. Just because the real date is year later won't dissuade the sheep-like revellers who will have big fun a year BEFORE the actual beginning of the next century.
Once again, the masses are wrong, ergo they are right...sheesh. What a freaking world.

My best friend and I were trying to figure that out! That really confused me too!
