In a delightful development for fans of classic television, Hulu has officially made the entire run of ‘Seinfeld’ available for streaming. Hulu’s SVP, Mark Thompson, expressed excitement about this landmark addition, stating, “’Seinfeld’ has left an indelible mark on television history. We’re thrilled to offer this iconic series, allowing both devoted fans and newcomers to experience its humor from the very start.”
While Hulu has kept the financial details under wraps, industry chatter suggests that the streaming service invested around $180 million for the series—a staggering sum that breaks down to about a million dollars per episode. This bold move has sparked discussions among critics. Some, like entertainment analyst Sarah Miller, question the value of such an investment for a show that many viewers over a certain age have already seen in syndication. “What makes this exclusive?” she pondered. “While owning the streaming rights to ‘Seinfeld’ may lend some credibility to Hulu, it’s unclear how this will translate into revenue, especially considering the show’s potential binge-worthiness.”
However, I have a different take. My teenage daughter and her friends engage with television in a way that’s markedly different from previous generations. They’re not glued to current airings; instead, they dive into series on their devices and consume them in marathon sessions. For them, watching a show like ‘Seinfeld’ is akin to how we might have binge-watched classics like ‘The Brady Bunch’—if only we had the technology at the time!
Interestingly, the “awkward vintage” of ‘Seinfeld’ seems to resonate well with today’s youth. My daughter has already devoured popular series such as ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ ‘ER,’ and ‘One Tree Hill.’ Just last month, her crew binge-watched ‘Friends,’ a series Netflix acquired for a reported $500,000 per episode. They didn’t just watch it once; they went through the entire series twice! So, I have a feeling that ‘Seinfeld’ will prove to be not just binge-worthy, but perhaps even iconic among the younger crowd.
