Seinfeld and Friends were actually remastered off the original 35mm film for HD conversion back in the day. Seems like going 4K isn't going to be much different, especially at the price they're paying.

(It's hard to reframe some scenes when they were deliberately spaced out in a certain way to reflect the frame that the director had to play with - it has the potential to fundamentally change the narrative intentions.)
