DVD Reviews of Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2DVD Review: Enough Already!!!! Summary: 1 StarsThis is without a doubt one of the dumbest most overrated shows in the history of television. All the characters do is repeat the same lines over+over again. Larry David needs massive amounts of serious therapy. Michael Richards is 20th rate Robin Williams+the rest of the cast is just as bad. Basically the 4 main characters are narcissistic,self absorbed whiners who the planet would be better without. I would give this 0 stars if I could
DVD Review: Nothing is Everything (I'm sure someone said that already) Summary: 5 StarsLet me get straight to the point, for once. Not counting dvd's, I'm not much of a TV watcher. In fact, I don't think there's a single show on the tube I watch even occasionally. I guess the news is enough of a show to me. Do I sound like a bore? To some, I suppose. However, I am glad I'm not quite boring enough to not recognize the magic of SEINFIELD once it has stuck me in the face. I'd only watched a few episodes several years ago and found it mildly amusing when a friend of mine recently asked me to check it out a tad further. He loaned me the two first seasons. After a couple of episodes, I got addicted; and unlike if it was another show in question, I didn't feel bad about it. On the contrary.
I used the word "magic" to describe the, uh, magic of SEINFIELD, as snappy as I could do. But what is actually the magic of it all? Well, to be honest there is no magic at all. Just a few guys and one gal hanging around and throwing punch-lines at one another. That's the surface of it. If you climb down just a step underneath, however, you'll probably learn quite a few things about yourself. And if you don't, at least you'll recognize your friend. And how you relate to him.
What makes SEINFIELD great to me is that the crisp writing and frank insight into human relations and reactions is excecuted through characters which, while simply constructed, each attribute something unique into the comedy. We may not identify ourselves with the all-around loser George (thank you), but I'd be a liar if I said I've never experienced some of the humiliations he has to suffer. Eccentric Kramer adds the well-adjusted slapstick element between the dialogue, while Elaine provides the feminine touch although she always remains "one of the guys." Jerry Seinfield himself is more of an observer; after all, he is a comedian, and a damn good one at that.
These two first seasons of the show are, of course, somewhat experimental as it had not yet quite established itself. Still, many of the episodes are as hilarious as the later ones. How can anybody sit through THE PHONE MESSAGE, THE RESTURANT or THE REVENGE and not laugh? I don't know. But I know I did laugh. Till it hurt.
DVD Review: Great Price Summary: 5 StarsI never watched Seinfeld, but am now trying to "catch up" since several of my friends frequently refer to "Seinfeldisms".
Also this is a great price.

Description of Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2 Seinfeld has never looked this good! All 18 episodes from the first two seasons have been remastered in high definition for the best possible picture and sound quality. Including 2 versions of the pilot episode and approximately 13 hours of exclusive special features from the creative talents behind the show, this DVD is a must own! Nothing? Seinfeld is a show about everything! It's about the appeal of the posse and coma etiquette. It's about importing and exporting. It's about sneaking a peek, and seeing the baby. It's about this, that, and the other. TV Guide ranked Seinfeld the best TV series of all time. It has become the master of its syndication domain. Its most devoted fans can quote each episode chapter and verse; their absorption of each scene's minutiae anything but a trivial pursuit. With such fervent devotion to the show, and demand for its DVD release, series creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David could have easily just OK'd a bare-bones set containing nothing but the episodes. Not that there would have been anything wrong with that, but instead, the creative team came together to create extensive and encyclopedic features that make this four-disc set buy-worthy. The candid and revealing audio commentaries and interviews, deleted scenes and original episode promos, and optional "Notes About Nothing" pop-ups are as irresistible as a Drake's coffee cake. It's always fun and instructive to return to the humble beginnings of a series that became a pop culture benchmark. Here are Kramer's first not-so-grand entrance, Jerry's first contemptuous "Hello, Newman," and Elaine's first "Get Out!" shove. But what is most revelatory about these episodes from the first two seasons is what Jason Alexander, during his commentary for the episode "The Revenge," calls a "sweet quality" that somehow redeems these characters' more base instincts. Consider the scene in which Jerry gives a freshly unemployed George some career guidance, or Jerry and Elaine's palpably affectionate banter throughout. The "Inside Look" episode intros offer fascinating insights into this singular show that subverted sitcom convention with such now-classic episodes as "The Chinese Restaurant," in which Jerry, George, and Elaine wait in vain for a table. We learn, for example, why movie tough guy Lawrence Tierney, who guest starred in "The Jacket," never reprised his role as Elaine's father. All of this, of course, is yadda yadda yadda to Seinfeld fans, whose patience for the show's DVD debut has been amply rewarded. As Elaine screams in the third-season episode, "The Subway," "It's not nothing, it's something!" --Donald Liebenson
