Guest MDH257 Report post Posted January 9, 2003 The studios are paid several million per episode by the sydicators. I'm sure there were clauses preventing any sort of home video / DVD release of Seinfeld until the show had been in reruns for a certain amount of time. There are clauses like that in contrats for most successful shows. I think that's why Friends and Buffy are only allowed to release two seasons per year in region one.
