Amazon.co.uk Review
Seinfeld is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of American sitcoms, and this long-delayed box set goes a long way in demonstrating why. From the first episode of the first season, it hit the ground running with its collection of oddball New Yorkers: There’s stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who plays himself; Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), his pushy ex-girlfriend; his neurotic loser of a best friend George (Jason Alexander); and Jerry’s wacky neighbour Kramer (Michael Richards).

Co-written and co-created by Seinfeld and Larry David (who later went on to plumb greater depths of misanthropy with Curb Your Enthusiasm), it revolutionised American sitcoms with its cynical and mature comedy, and its ability to find comic gems in the most mundane situations (one classic episode is set entirely in a mall car-park). Seinfeld was, as all involved frequently admitted, a show about nothing. But this extras-laden collection--which features extensive cast and creator commentaries, deleted scenes, trivia tracks, outtakes, interviews and more--is most definitely something. --Ted Kord

Synopsis
The entire Series 1-3 of the Emmy award winning SEINFELD, the show that revolutionised the modern sitcom. Jerry Seinfeld's amazing sideways look at single life in the 1990s New York is fast becoming a modern comedy classic. As well as all 40 episodes from Seasons 1, 2 and 3 as well as approximately 26 hours of exclusive special features.

5.0 out of 5 stars The finest sitcom ever made, beautifully packaged, 15 Nov 2004
By A Customer
The finest sitcom ever made with some really tantalising extras. I only got into Seinfeld when it was shown on BBC2 late at night (the most ridiculous scheduling in the history of TV) and later managed to catch the early repeats on various digital channels. The best thing about this show is the interaction between the four main characters, Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer. It is not only very funny but its, often cynical (or correct), viewpoint will change the way that you view the world: from relationships to society at large.

The extras on the DVDs are interesting and enlightening. The deleted scenes are often interesting because you can see why they were deleted: they are often too overplayed or exaggerated. Most episodes also have an extra two-minute talking head mini documentary with contributions from Larry David (co-writer and star of Curb your Enthusiasm another 5* show), Jerry Seinfeld and the other main actors. These are often insightful, for example, Larry David talks about when he realised that he would have to give some of the script writing commitments over to the writing team rather than do them all himself or the fact that Jerry Seinfeld seemed to enjoy writing lines for his co-actors more than himself. There are also text and verbal commentaries by principle players about specific scenes.

If you like Seinfeld: buy this. If you've never seen it: borrow this and then buy it. If you don't like Seinfeld go back to watching familiar, comfortable, formulaic drivel and claiming that they don't write comedy shows like they used too. Yes they don't, and we have the likes of Seinfeld, Rickey Gervais and Chris Morris to thank for that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Seinfeld - Proof That Americans Are Smart, 20 Sep 2004
To anybody who has ever claimed to be a fan of comedy, if they have never seen the brilliant "Seinfeld" then they know NOTHING until they have seen the self proclaimed "Show about nothing".

For some reason, the show just never caught on in a big way over here. I can't think why it didn't get at least seventeen million viewers when it was being shown in it's prime time slot of midnight on BBC2!! British writers claim their sitcoms are sophisticated and smarter than their American colleagues, this show blows all those claims out of the water!

The mantra of the show for the writers was always "learn nothing and never, ever hug". By this they meant that shows like Friends were the stars hug and tell each other they love each other every five minutes or shows like Taxi where the comedy was undermined by a completely pointless moral message were getting it wrong. And they were right. Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer are unbelievably selfish people who act as if they are ALWAYS the number one priority. As a result, the comedy is Oh SO MUCH better!!

The DVD sets (Hopefully the first of the complete series) show series one, two and three when the series was getting on it's feet and was not being championed by the huge ratings it would get in later years, but by the fickle critics who never failed to love, admire and "get" the show. The extras are the obvious blooper reel, extra Jerry stand up segements ommitted from the show, deleted scenes, retrospective interviews and episode commentaries by the cast (Interestingly Jerry Seinfeld never does a commentary with his three co-stars which will no doubt fuel the rumour that they didn't get on - I personally hope that rumours garbage!) and by Larry David who co-created the show and was inspiration for George's character (Larry David has of course gone onto greater fame as...er...himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm).

All in all, a great set to compliment a FANTASTIC show.

STRONGLY recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best comedy of the 90s, 6 Mar 2005
Being completley honest, I wasn't immediatly impressed with Seinfeld. I bought the boxset of season three first (long story) and found that for the first few episodes it was entertaining, but not all that funny. Until I saw the episode 'The Pen'. It suddenly hit me- there's no ridiculous physical comedy (well sometimes with Kramer), no gags that are set up. It's purely comedy that gets it's laughs from everyday life- some of the characters are people you are likely to meet. A mon avis, Season Three is the better season of this set. All 22 episodes are hilarious, with The Pen being the strongest episode, despite the abscence of George and Kramer.
Season One and Two are still incredibly funny. The one standout episode is The Chinese Restaurant, a whole episode with the three friends waiting for a table in a chinese restaurant. It emphasises the fact that above all, Seinfeld is a show about nothing.
Creator Larry David went on to star in the amazing Curb Your Enthusiasm (imagine a show based around George getting into embarassing and frequently foul mouthed situations). If you like Seinfeld and aren't offended easily, it's a must see.
So, Seinfeld is the best 90's comedy because it ignores everything most sitcoms have- character romances (well in one episode Jerry and Elaine negotiate no-strings sex), dramatic arguments and any character development. How the BBC give primetime slots to My Hero, According To Bex, My Family etc. when this was tucked away at midnight is a travesty.
Seinfeld is a sitcom in the purest sense, there's a situation and there's comedy. That's it. And when 75 million tuned into the final episode in the US, they must be doing something right.
