Product Description:
SEINFELD SEASON 1 & 2 (DVD/4 DISC/P&S 1.33/ENG-PO-
Amazon.com:
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

I dont know whos idea of good shape is a defective product. First of all the box had more then a few scratches,it's falling apart. And second of all 2 of the disc are super scratched. I used to be a manager at a used video store so let me give you some advice, when a scratch goes in a complete circle that is considered a defective disc, there is nothing you can do to repair those. My biggest mistake is I didn't start watching the box set until yesterday so its probably to late to return.

There's nothing dated about this classic sitcom, which defined the late '80s and early '90s TV comedy as Jerry and his buddies traipsed through New York life and its various little adventures.
As the creators promised, Seinfeld is indeed largely "a show about nothing." That said, it's often the little daily annoyances, ups and downs that make for the most entertaining stories in our own lives, and it certainly held true for Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer.

Starting with the pilot episode and going through season 2, you get a good glimpse of how the show started off without any direction as far as the characters go and watch Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer develop their nuances that made them so funny. For me, at least, this made the set both funny and interesting.

"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 ... Read More

Seinfeld 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 ... Read More
