DVD Reviews of Seinfeld - Season 9
DVD Review: Not my favourite
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the least enjoyable season. I thought it as unnecessary. An I thought the ending was overly contrived even if their comeuppance was long overdue. In an interview Jerry says that the show was still top rated. Many of us watch TV shows past their prime because of habit. Or we're curious to find out how it ends. Not because the show is still good and/or relevant. The British know not to overextend their welcome!DVD Review: Too bad it's over!!T

Summary: 5 Stars
seinfeld is one great show, this was the final season its really funny, it didnt end that well thoughDVD Review: The Last Season of Seinfeld in context.
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been really harsh on Seinfeld after Larry David left the series in series 7. Gone was the authenticity of the early episodes like The Chinese Restaurant and the mixture of dark themes with the trivial like The Trip and in its place was a complete farce.
So why have I given this DVD release four stars? Because the extra features completely put this season into context. The direction of season 9 into complete zaniness was absolutely intentional by Jerry Seinfeld who was leading the creative process in the last two seasons. When you hear the creative crew give their explanations about the escape from realism throughout this season you understand as a fan that a lot of experimentation was going on at the production side of the series.
The intention was to deconstruct and play around with a world that we had all grown to love over the course of the series - by which the end of the series we discover that the four people that we had loved, admired and even some us aspired to be were complete jerks and it is probably a dark criticism on humanity that we could relate to these people in the first place. Ho-hum!
Watching the series and all the detailed, well constructed episodes of season 9 in this context really made me appreciate all the hard work that went into these final moments and it still pretty powerful watching those last episodes. (And for those that might find the ending too mean spirited to constitute an ending, there's always that Greenday song to relive sentimental nostalgic memories.)
VERY GOOD! (But don't pay full price)
Description of Seinfeld - Season 9
Seinfeld: Season 9 is a four-disc boxed set including all 24 episodes from the ninth and final season of the long-running series, including the finale and hours of exclusive, never-before-seen bonus footage. The wealth of bonus features for Seinfeld: Season 9 include scenes from "The Roundtable" (excerpts from the one-hour table discussion), deleted scenes, bloopers, trivia, interviews, stand-up comedy footage, and other behind-the-scenes bonus material. The ninth season was nominated for five Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, and features an astounding array of noteworthy episodes such as the unique backwards episode, "The Betrayal," and the reemergence of a classic arcade game in "The Frogger." The season culminates in the highly rated two-part finale, which boasts an illustrious gathering of some of the show's most memorable guest stars including Larry Thomas (Soup Nazi), Wendel Meldrum (Low-Talker), Golden Globe? Award-winner Teri Hatcher, TV journalist Geraldo Rivera, and others.Seinfeld's final season seems to take its cue from a little piece of "showmanship" advice that Jerry offers to the hapless George (Jason Alexander) in the episode "The Burning": "When you hit that high note, say goodnight and walk off." In television, as in comedy, timing is everything, and that's what Seinfeld, No. 1 in the ratings, did. The show that TV Guide would later rank the greatest of all time, left the stage, perhaps not at the top of its game, but at least on its own terms. To the end, Jerry, George, Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and Kramer (Michael Richards) remain true to the show's misanthropic muse. In the episode "The Merv Griffin Show," Jerry induces sleep in his new girlfriend so he can have his way with her retro toy collection. In "The Apology," George relentlessly badgers an old acquaintance (James Spader) now in AA, for a Step Nine apology over a long-ago insult. At one point, Elaine resumes her on again-off again relationship with Puddy (Patrick Warburton) because she needs a bureau moved. In the end, it all comes crumbling down for the so-called "New York Four" when they are put on trial in a Massachusetts courtroom for violating a Good Samaritan Law after not coming to the aid of an obese carjack victim. A parade of lack-of-character witnesses spanning the series' near-decade-long run, from Mabel Choate, the Marble Rye Lady, to Babu and the Soup Nazi testify how they were "abused, wronged, deceived, and betrayed" by Jerry and company. Anyone expecting Seinfeld or Larry David to apologize for this bitter, and not at all sweet, finale, can just stuff those sorrys in a sack, mister. In "The Last Lap," a bonus featurette about Seinfeld's decision to end the series despite unprecedented offers from NBC brass to continue, they acknowledge the episode's "mixed reaction," but remain defiant. As Alexander notes, nothing could have lived up to the massive hype the episode received.
Seinfeld's ninth does not quite leave audiences wanting more. While there are several great episodes, including "The Butter Shave," "The Betrayal," "The Cartoon," and "The Maid," the season is loaded with what George might call "gaffes," including a series nadir, "Puerto Rican Day," which in these PC times, drew enough protest to hinder its rebroadcast. The writing this season is more outrageous (see "The Merv Griffin Show," in which Kramer salvages a discarded talk-show set and installs it in his apartment), but there are enough inspired bits of silliness (fleeting season-opening mustaches in "The Butter Shave," a live-action re-creation of the classic arcade game in "The Frogger," and Jerry's silly voice in "The Voice") to keep Seinfeld's legacy intact. As an added bit of showmanship, this set contains bountiful extras, perhaps the most interesting being a chronological re-edit of the backwards episode, "The Betrayal." Season 9 may not win Seinfeld any new fans, but this DVD set is a Festivus for the rest of us. --Donald Liebenson
