Season chronology

The eighth season of Seinfeld, an American comedy television series began airing on September 19, 1996, and concluded on May 15, 1997, on NBC.

The eighth season marked a turning point in the series. Larry David resigned as executive producer, making way for his replacement by Seinfeld. Cold opens took the role of Jerry's comedy routines, as Seinfeld was too busy to write more jokes, and "the show about nothing" became more absurdist and surreal.
