Not for me

2008-06-25
I purchased this for my daughter in law for her dad, so I can't really rate this. I personally don't like the show.

Great season/series, disc quality terrible

2008-05-20
While I have no problem with the content of these discs (5-star!), I've been having problems throughout all the DVDs (and I have seasons 1-9 on DVD) with skipping/jumping/dead pixels, etc. It seems like every episode I get pauses and then suddenly jump to the next chapter. Season 5 seems to be the worst so far.

It's not a problem with the DVD player, as I have over a hundred other commercial DVDs and never have these problems. This is extremely annoying. I'm curious to hear if anyone else has had similar problems.

It's sad to say this in 2008, but I'd rather have the series on VHS. A bad-spot on a VHS tape produces a little spot on the screen for a half-second, not a jump to the next chapter, or a full-freeze-up of the DVD player.

This was the BEST season! The Hamptons and the Stall make it all worth while.

gotta have it

If you are a Seinfeld fan, you must own this as well as all the others. This series keeps getting better and is one of the all-time classic sitcoms. I can watch any episode and it makes me laugh.

Amazing season for a great show!

The Emperor's New Shtick

2007-09-13
Let me be the innocent child in "The Emperor's New Clothes," and proclaim:

Jerry Seinfeld is not funny!

Oh, I know what you're thinking: Here's a guy who thinks Seinfeld was unfunny, but his cast was hilarious.

No. At best the rest of the cast was mildly amusing (although Jason Alexander is a talented actor, he is not necessarily hilarious, hence the two stars).

Because, when it comes down to brass tacks, "Seinfeld" *was* a "show about nothing" -- in every sense of the word:

The contrived semi-plots, with choppy one-liner segments.

The cloying, annoying, ejaculatory bass riffs between shots.

Jerry Seinfeld posing as this hipster: Yeah, right, a hipster with a ridiculous bushy mullet. At best, Seinfeld was an Upper West Side Jewish version of Jeff Foxworthy. You want to know why people think Jewish men are smug, metrosexual wimpish know-it-alls? I submit Jerry Seinfeld as "Exhibit A." If a WASP played a Jew such as Seinfeld, he'd be accused of bigoted racial slurs against the Jewish people. Grating, like fingernails down a chalkboard.

Oh, and speaking of freakish hair-do's: Is there anyone alive who thinks that Michael Richards as Kramer would even inspire a single chuckle if shorn of that ridiculous Brillo-pad hair? Within three episodes, he'd have been out of the door, after having been reduced to haranguing black hecklers in the studio audience: He's a [n-word]! He's a [n-word]!

Pathetic.

And, "Elaine"?

Puleeze! She makes Gwyneth Paltrow look like Kate Winslet, she is so flat.

Yawn.

GREAT SEASON ONE OF THE BEST!

Once again the cast and writers of Seinfeld top themselves in this hilarious season. The DVD set is excellent with some interesting extras.

Hilarious!!!

I had so much fun watching the episodes again and again. The extras are great. With Seinfeld you never have enough.

Shop around!

The DVDs are great, they have lots of extra features and commentary. You probably know whether or not youre going to buy them, but you should shop around! Target sells the first 5 seasnons for $20!
