Don't worry, I've emailed Sky & BBC about their plans for Seinfeld. At the moment neither Sky One or BBC2 are airing Seinfeld, but the Paramount Comedy Channel is.
Stay posted for more info from Sky and the beeb.

Yeah. But unfortunately Paramount Comedy seem to keep re-running the same limited number of episodes over and over. I've lost track of how many times they've shown "The Trip". Not that there's anything wrong with that, but a bit of variety would be nice.
What about those of us who don't have cable... :-(
If only Channel 4 had got hold of Seinfeld - it might be treated with the respect it deserves.

You have my deepest sympathies. I've given up on BBC2 -- there seems to be little (if any) pattern to when they air episodes. There are weeks when we've had multiple episodes, and other weeks when they don't show it all. They obviously don't care about building an audience for the show.
I believe Channel 4 show it every Friday night at 9pm, where it has established itself as one of the most popular US sitcoms on UK television...
...in Bizarro world. :)

Does anyone know whether or not Paramount have any plans to air later seasons? There are some I have missed, and some I desparately want to see again. If you could e-mail me, that would be handy ([email] )
Cheers, James
BBC say that they will return with Seinfeld after the snooker (maybe), check Ceefax & TV Guides for more information.
As per Sky, no reply yet.
Also questions have been raised about the Paramount Comedy Channel. Well, I think that they went upto "The Handicap Spot" but then went back to "Good News, Bad News" a while ago, so will they do the same again when we get there later this season.
Also, will Seinfeld return on sat/sun once the cheers weekends have ended after next weekend? I won't know until about the 27th what PCC and Sky One's plans for May are (when the Sky TV Guide Arrives!).
I'll keep you posted.
I'm actually thinking of setting up a newsletter for UK viewers on channels, dates, news & stuff - if you would like to join then email: [email] with the subject "subscribe_<your_email_address>_SeinUKNews"
