Just a curiosity, When I was in New York I used to watch Seinfeld reruns on the WB11 channel, is there a reason why they NEVER aired the titles of the episodes,
Thanks
Fans discuss why Seinfeld episode titles were never shown during original NBC broadcasts, noting most TV shows didn't display titles on air and questioning where the titles came from.

As far as I know Seinfeld NEVER presented titles for episodes as part of the original broadcast. Even the sumeries in TV GUIDE did not call a particualr show by the name of the script when it was first broadcast on NBC. It seems to me that most tv shows I've watched through the years do not have titles on them for each show. There are exceptions of course.

The show is about nothing so nothing is the title.....hem, I think the titles is invented by the fans just to know what episode we are talking about. If all the shows was fronted whit a big fat title some of the point of nothing is gone, is it not?

I completely agree with you, in fact at the time I was watching the show I was fascinated by this no title thing...it made the "about nothing" real. Everyone could give the episodes his own title, or no title, or just keep it in his mind for that one scene, as I still do. So, when I started to read this newsgroup, I was actually surprised to find titles for the episodes, even though I agree that there must some kind of "common background" to keep up discussion among fans...
So, I guess, if there is no "official" titles list, if the DVD set ever comes out there will be no titles, only seasons, episodes numbers...
thanks

Actually not displaying the title of the episode to the viewer goes back decades. I can think of several shows, but Green Acres and Gilligan's Island comes to mind from the 60's. The producers may have very well had the title of the episosde on film, but the public never saw it.
Collecting Seinfeld episodes and identifying them is quite a task, because there are at least 4 shows within one show. Perhaps that is why the series was so entertaining. I find it rather amusing that besides the pilot episode, every Seinfeld show starts with "the".
