Your comment that "Seinfeld" has not been as successful in syndication or streaming is way off base. Seinfeld and M*A*S*H are the only two shows where the second cycle of syndication made more money than the first.
I have read that Seinfeld has grossed well over $3 Billion dollars in syndication alone. Streaming revenues are probably another $1B. Netflix just paid $500M for streaming rights to Seinfeld in 2021.
How much did Jerry Seinfeld make for his hit NBC sitcom 'Seinfeld'?
Even though I know that I'll never be a TV comedy writer. I found that episode very interesting. I can tell that you would be a great, inspiring, but tough teacher.
