Top 10 must-watch episodes of Seinfeld, now on Netflix Canada
Arguably the most successful sitcom of all time, Seinfeld can now be streamed on Netflix Canada.
Co-written by Larry David and comedian Jerry Seinfeld, the hugely popular show spanned nine seasons, and was famously “about nothing.”
Prior to the Netflix release, the show had been available to watch through re-runs on TV, or American-based streaming services like Hulu and Crave.
In tongue-in-cheek fashion, Netflix Canada is selling Seinfeld like it’s a brand new show.
“Jerry has created something special with this sitcom that nobody has ever done. I truly think he and Mr. David have enormous futures ahead of them and I’m thrilled Netflix could be the home for them to grow their fanbases,” said Ted Sarandos, Netflix president.
There are too many classic episodes to choose from, so we’ve chosen 10 for you.
