Castle Rock Entertainment (which will receive the lion's share), and a list of profit participants that include co-creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David."You could have put the DVD in, but I guess nobody wanted to do that," Seinfeld said this morning during Hulu's official announcement in New York City. "They want to do this."Hulu will stream the full-length episodes as they originally aired, not the re-edited or sped-up versions that are broadcast in syndication.According to The Wall Street Journal, Netflix had originally expressed interest in "Seinfeld," but instead signed a deal for the rights to "Friends," which carried a price of about $500,000 an episode."Seinfeld," which also starred Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards, originally aired for nine seasons, from 1989 to 1998, on NBC.
