Movie Reviews of Seinfeld - Season 3Movie Review: These pretzels are makin' me thirsty! Summary: 5 StarsLike many other reviewers/fans, I believe that the third season of Seinfeld was definitely a head above the first and second seasons. Of course, there some great shows in those two seasons, but Season 3 is really the time when the show defined itself and started to perfect its elements. They found their comfort zone for plots, jokes and even some experimentation, such as an episode taking place outside the usual realm of location ("The Parking Garage", "The Subway" and "The Limo" all come to mind).
Some of my all-time favorite Seinfeld episode are from this season. I loved "The Parking Garage" because it was able to take such a minimalistic idea and make an entire episode out of it. "The Pen" builds up to a hilarious climax where Elaine gets high off painkillers and Jerry's eyes get discolored from diving, forcing him to awkwardly wear sunglasses to a party. Then of course, the first time I saw "The Limo", I was truly taken by surprise and absolutely had to know how it ended, and what an ending!
There were also some episodes that took unusual elements and made them strangely charming. One example is in "The Dog" where Jerry has to watch a dog while his braindead drunkard owner (who's very funny during his onscreen time!), is at a hospital halfway across the country. "The Subway" is able to construct and execute four totally different plots, one for each of the characters, until all is brought to a head in the Restaurant at the end.
Overall, this collection brings together some of the greatest and most interesting Seinfeld episodes in the show's run. Add to the four discs all the extra features, and this is a purchase worth every last cent. Buy it and spend countless hours enjoying it! Thanks for the time, and peace.
Summary of Seinfeld - Season 3 Relive your favorite Seinfeld moments like never before in this 4-disc set with all 22 episodes from the third season remastered in high definition for the best possible picture and sound quality! With approximately 13 hours of exclusive special features from the creative talents behind the show, this DVD is a must own! For Seinfeld, the third season's--for want of a better word--the charm. The show has found its misanthropic voice (by season's end, a fed-up Elaine tells herself, "I gotta get some new friends"), the ensemble has a firmer grasp of their characters, and the writers rise to the occasion with episodes that have entered the Seinfeld pantheon, including the Seinfeld equivalent of a Very Special Episode, "The Boyfriend," with Keith Hernandez and the J.F.K. parody, "The Library," featuring Philip Baker Hall channeling Jack Webb as library bookhound Bookman, "The Pez Dispenser," and "The Keys," with an L.A.-bound Kramer winding up on Murphy Brown. Michael Richards, especially, comes into his own this season as Kramer. The first two seasons built up the mystique of this "man-child"/"parasite." So while he was absent in season 2's "The Chinese Restaurant," he is now out and about with the close-knit, albeit dysfunctional, trio. Julia Louis-Dreyfus has some of her giddiest golden moments, zonked on painkillers in "The Pen," or, as a bored party guest in "The Stranded," telling an obnoxious bride-to-be that "Maybe the dingo ate your baby." And don't get us started on Jason Alexander as George, series co-creator Larry David's neurotic and angst-ridden alter-ego. To paraphrase what Julia Roberts said of Denzel Washington, we don't want to live in a world where Alexander doesn't have an Emmy. But it's the extensive bonus features that give this four-disc set "hand" over other TV-on-DVD releases. The "Inside Look" episode intros, optional pop-up "Notes About Nothing," and candid, albeit a little too casual, commentaries offer a fount of information to even the most obsessive Seinfeld fans. We learn that even the most outrageous episodes, such as "The Pez Dispenser," were inspired by real-life events. Especially telling is Alexander's observation that Jerry never really socialized with the other ensemble members. This has extended to the commentaries: Seinfeld pairs with David on some episodes, while Alexander, Richards and Dreyfus team up on others. They are gracious to the guest stars and extras, and mostly mum on Jer. --Donald Liebenson
