How long does it take to watch Seinfeld?

Seinfeld is 180 episodes and about 66 hours, which makes it a shorter watch than Friends despite running one season longer. The show refused to age its characters or resolve anything, which is why it can be watched in almost any order after the first season. The finale drew 76 million viewers and is still widely disliked. Larry David left after season seven and returned to write the finale, and the drop in episode count per season afterwards is visible in the arithmetic.
