As a public service, here are highlights from 2011’s Season 8

It’s hard to imagine but the series’ premiere episode aired on HBO just 19 months after Seinfeld‘s series finale aired on NBC on May 14, 1998. The latter series, created by David and Jerry Seinfeld debuted on the peacock network to low ratings in 1989. It had modest success until taking off in its fifth year when it finished as the third-highest-rated program of the season. Seinfeld finished either #1 or #2 overall in each of its final four seasons.
