NOTE: Viewer Bentley Roberts notes that Jerry incorrectly states that Kramer and Newman's party will be one year to late, when he should have said it would be one year to early.
Viewer John Thorpe, says that Jerry was correct about his statement. "Newman said he booked his party for the Millennium, which is January 1, 2001, but he really wanted to have his party one year earlier, on 1/1/2000, which is when everyone else on the planet (pretty much) will have Millennium parties. So technically, Newman's party is one year later than the other parties being celebrated, which will make his party, as Jerry said, "lame". Therefore Jerry's statement is correct."
I on the other hand, probably like most people, am confused about the whole thing. Regardless of what is correct, I am sure the marketing and media weasels out there will decide when we start the next millennium.
Jerry does incorrectly state that the millenium party is one year late. Because in the conversation he makes the statement that our world didn't start on the year zero so the millenium started in 2001 and Newman scheduled his party for 2000.

what does Newman say in almost the last scene of this episode? Almost some kind of quack?

He makes a strange sound in disgust after Jerry explains to him that his millenium party isn't actually occurring at the end of the millenium.

Shouldn't of Jerry said one year early in the millennium b/c if he was having the party for 2000 it would have been early not late. Am I correct?

Jerry's line from The Millennium
Oh, that's interesting, because as everyone knows, since there was no
year zero, the millennium doesn't begin until the year two-thousand and one.
Which would make your party, one year late, and thus, quite lame.

I mean the party was Dec. 31st 1999.

I think Jerry's statement was correct. The millenium actually started jan 1. 2001. thus, the millenium new year's eve is dec. 31 2000. But everyone is more excited about going from 1999 to 2000( when all the parties and celebrations were). So newman's party(booked for the millenial new year would be on the less exciting dec 31 2000)and thus would be one year late.

I have very minimal proof of this but I have a sneaking suspicion that during the scene where Jerry and Valerie are watching the TV together in her apartment they are watching "The Cadillac" Part 2, specifically the very end where the Jerry and his parents are walking outside to the cadillac and the bugle is playing...the very same bugle can be heard during the scene with Jerry and Valerie. We all know this isn't the only time it would of happened. In "The Blood" when George and Vivian start to go at it in the kitchen she reaches up and turns on the TV where if you look carefully, she turned on Seinfeld and you see Jerry standing in his kitchen. As for the "Minimal Proof" I spoke of before, on the table with the dark glass jar I see reflections of greenish/blueish coloring which would be the sky and trees that are prevelant in the end scene of "The Cadillac".

..anything visible in the grassy knoll?

I am in dire need of the Millennium episode. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Grandma hasn't left her apartment in 25 years!!!

Newman: Think again, longshanks.

Hey! Body suit man!

Timmy is right, and Jerry was right in this episode. Since there was no year "0" the millenium doesn't start till January 1, 2001. A millenium is one thousand years. January 1, year 1 - December 31, 1000 (one thousand years) January 1, 1000 - December 31, 2000. And of course the next will be January 1, 2001 - December 31, 3000. Everyone understand now? Jerry's Jewish and he understands that the year Christ was born that was year 1.

But what if the year 1 was a leap year???

you people have no lives
