This is good news, but it comes at a price and there is a major catch that could annoy some users.

We were able to watch a few episodes of Seinfeld online at Crackle and there have been illegal copies floating around online for years, but very soon you’ll have a legit answer to the question, “Where can I Stream Seinfeld?”

Here are three things you need to know about watching Seinfeld online and where you can stream Seinfeld to almost any device.

Seinfeld Online Streaming Comes to Hulu

The Seinfeld streaming is coming to Hulu and Hulu Plus.

The official source for Seinfeld online streaming is Hulu. The details come from The Wall Street Journal and sources place the value at 700,000 per episode or about $180 million dollars. The Friends Netflix deal delivered a reported $500,000 per episode fee.

We should learn about the official confirmation of the Hulu Seinfeld streaming option on Thursday April 30th at a company meeting with advertisers. You will still be able to watch Seinfeld reruns on TBS, according to the report.

Prepare for Ads While You Stream Seinfeld

Expect to see over 500 ads while you watch Seinfeld  online.

Expect to see over 500 ads while you watch Seinfeld online.

Unlike Netflix, Hulu delivers ads while you watch TV shows and movies. These exist even if you pay for Hulu Plus at $7.99 a month. Hulu states that ads help the company keep the cost of the service to $8 a month.

Even though Hulu did not announce the details yet, the company outlines which content will feature ads and exclusive content is in the list.

“While not all shows on Hulu Plus are ad-supported, it’s expected that shows and seasons exclusive to Hulu will include advertisements.”

Based on the number of Hulu ads shown on a 22 minute show you can expect to see at least three ads for each episode of Seinfeld or  540 ads after you watch every Seinfeld episode online.

Seinfeld Netflix Streaming Isn’t Happening

The important news for Netflix subscribers and Amazon Prime members is that this deal means there will not be a Seinfeld Netflix streaming option and Amazon Prime instant video isn’t happening either.

With a giant price tag for the rights to stream Seinfeld online there is no chance that Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant video will offer the episodes. This may also mean that you won’t see a Seinfeld iTunes release in the near future either.
