Episodes are estimated to cost roughly $100,000, with guests being paid in cash and the initial raw shoot lasting on average three-and-a-half hours, which is then edited over a two-week period down to a 12�20 minute episode.

Acura eventually sponsored the show, giving Seinfeld creative license with creating the commercials and product placements.
