About
A detailed collection of episode-level metadata for the popular television programme Seinfeld. This resource captures key metrics and production details for every installment of the series, spanning nine seasons and 180 episodes. The information was curated by merging data acquired from IMDb TV episodes datasets with publicly available information scraped from Wikipedia. This dataset is designed to allow users to compare characteristics like viewership numbers and production staff across the show's entire run.
Columns
The dataset features 9 key columns:
- season: The corresponding season number of the episode.
- episode_num_in_season: The episode's sequence number within that specific season.
- episode_num_overall: The episode number relative to the entire series, ranging from 1 to 180.
- title: The name of the episode (e.g., "The Boyfriend").
- directed_by: The name of the individual who directed the episode (e.g., Andy Ackerman or Tom Cherones).
- written_by: The writer or writers credited for the episode (e.g., Larry David).
- original_air_date: The date the episode was initially broadcast.
- prod_code: The unique production code assigned to the episode.
- us_viewers: The recorded number of US viewers upon the original air date.
Distribution
The data is provided in a single tabular file,
seinfeld_episodes.csv, which is approximately 16.18 kB in size. The structure includes 9 distinct columns, detailing 180 valid episode records. Almost all records are fully populated, though one record is noted as missing the US viewer data. The mean number of US viewers is approximately 28 million.Usage
This data product is ideally suited for researchers and analysts interested in media studies. Users can easily join this file with other sources (such as IMDb ratings) using the Title and Air Date fields to draw comparisons between viewer data and critical reception. It is also excellent for analysing patterns in episode production, such as which writers or directors were most prolific or successful across the run of the series.
Coverage
The scope covers all 180 episodes created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. The time range extends from the first original air date on 5 July 1989 up to the final broadcast on 14 May 1998. The included viewer statistics specifically refer to US viewers. No further updates are expected for this dataset.
