NEW YORK, - U.S. sitcom "Seinfeld" has earned $2.7 billion since it ended its 9-season run in 1998, said Time Warner, the show's owner.
The New York Post called the series -- starring Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a group of neurotic friends living in Manhattan -- the most profitable 30-minute program in TV history.
The show's earnings since it ended have come from syndication rights and DVD sales, with the sitcom's co-creators Seinfeld and Larry David alone having made hundreds of millions of dollars from the airing of "Seinfeld" reruns, the newspaper noted.
Pure comedy gold!!
Thanks largely to Larry David, and the greatest ENSEMBLE cast ever assembled for a sitcom, despite having Jerry's name on it.
The problem was, “You stopped short!”
Jason Alexander is doing NutriSystem TV commercials, the 2.7 Billion must leave a bad taste in his mouth.
2.7B in sales pitches. I wonder if the advertisers can measure how much profit was directly made in return from this show?
MAN HANDS
Jerry Seinfeld was awesome on the show because he was playing himself. Almost like Charlie Sheen on Two and Half Men.
