It makes sense that Seinfeld is raking in the ratings in its final year as that kind of event likely drew in more casual viewers, but by the same token it's a little strange that it didn't have the same effect for 1998 when the show actually drew to a close. Then again, that means it only had half of the broadcast schedule in '98 with which to draw viewers.
Okay, I've made it make sense.
I watched the opener of the season, The Butter Shave, along with The Strike because, for all the talk about it to the point that I've even quoted it myself, I'd never seen the Festivus episode. Now, after having checked that box and done a little more digging, I'm more than amused to discover that it's based on a very real celebration by the family of one of Seinfeld's writers.
And, because Seinfeld didn't stay at number one for next year, I still haven't seen the finale. I'll take a run at the whole series someday.
