DVD Reviews of Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2DVD Review: I could "yada yada yada" about this show all day Summary: 5 Stars"Seinfeld Seasons 1 and 2" shows us the beginning of one of the greatest shows of all time. In this collection, we get the entire first and second season, alongside hours of extra features. Although I personally felt that they defined themselves by the third season, the first two contain some great episodes, as well.
"Male Unbonding" takes the hilarious true-to-life concept of having a "friend" that's obsessed with Jerry, yet Jerry doesn't want to be with him, so he makes up excuses that become more and more ridiculous. It also holds the honor of being the only episode that doesn't begin with "The".
"The Statue" contains the first scene that really defines Kramer's character, where he goes undercover as a cop in order to get Jerry's statue back. ("Keep makin' love to that wall, pervert!")
"The Heart Attack" features George at his funniest, as they go to a holistic healer who, judging by his persona and house, is somebody only Kramer could know! The episode includes a hysterically funny ambulence scene towards the end, definitely one to watch.
"The Chinese Restaurant" is a classic example of making an entire show out of practically nothing; in this case, waiting around for a seat at a Chinese restaurant. This is a first-rate example of how Seinfeld was always good at taking a minimalistic idea and stretching it into something interesting.
"The Busboy" is an interesting episode because it ends with the two stories meeting up at the end, something that would be done in plenty of future episodes. It was also quite funny to see Kramer as clumsy as he was in the busboy's apartment, that's our Kramer!
For those who don't own this but want a dosage of Seinfeld, this comes very highly recommended, equally so for those wanting to get into the Seinfeld series. With over 20 episodes, over 13 hours of extra features, including deleted scenes and inside looks on the episodes (something I really love) and a few hidden "Easter Egg" special features, this collection is sure to satisfy! Pick it up as soon as possible. Thanks for the time, and peace.
DVD Review: Getting There Summary: 4 StarsSeinfeld was such an important part of American popular culture of its day that one might reasonably assume that the series is thoroughly tied to its time. In fact--perhaps because it was the "show about nothing"--it remains vital today. Seinfeld really hit its full stride after a few years went by, so this set is fun, entertaining, but not as consistently "on" as the episodes from later in the history of the show. What's interesting is to see the character development and to see how the audience begins to "get" who the characters really are below the surface. Worth purchasing!
DVD Review: Seinfeld Season 1&2 Summary: 4 StarsLove everything about this show. Only thing that I hate about new seasons is that a lot of time they have a lot less episodes then the following season. Such as season one of this show which is only 6 episodes. Gotta love George though! He is the best character on the show by FAR!!
DVD Review: Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2 Summary: 5 StarsMy husband loves his DVD. They were in like new condition for a great price!
DVD 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
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
