Seinfeld is a classic TV sitcom that ran for nine seasons through the '90s, but its first season was very short, consisting of only five episodes.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT For a show about nothing, Seinfeld has certainly made a substantial stamp on the public consciousness ― so it's a surprise that the classic '90s sitcom initially had so few episodes, with just five allocated to season 1.
The sitcom follows a fictional version of Jerry Seinfeld, along with his friends Elaine and George, and his neighbor Kramer. The plotlines of Seinfeld tie into the comedian's observational humor, showing the absurd incidents and meandering conversations that give him his material. Seinfeld's stand-up segments on the show provide a more original structure too, even if scornful references to "airplane food" jokes persist among the show's critics.
The show is now considered one of the all-time classics, spawning iconic pop culture moments such as Festivus and the Soup Nazi, but these elements came after the first and worst of Seinfeld's nine seasons. In addition to initially having a much clunkier name, Seinfeld's pilot episode was also missing Elaine. Seinfeld season 1 as a whole has a 76% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to the perfect 100% sustained from season 2 through season 5.
Seinfeld Ratings Eventually Secured A Season 2 NBC's reluctance to extend Seinfeld past one episode proved to be unfounded. The first season attracted solid ratings ― particularly episode 2, "The Stake Out," which follows Jerry hanging out by a woman's office to get her name and number after missing the opportunity at a party. The Wrap reports that Seinfeld season 1 was the 17th most-watched show at the time, enough to secure it a renewal.
