When Seinfeld was first created there was a shorter time allotted for commercials during the 30m block then there is now. If you were to watch a rerun on the average cable channel now they actually speed up the show to account for this. It’s nothing noticeable but does affect the comedic timing of the show.

They chop em up too. There'll be lines and jokes cut out if you compare the version the see on cable versus the one you see on DVD, or maybe Netflix
