Movie Reviews of Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2
Movie Review: Seinfeld Seasons One and Two
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a newcomer to Seinfeld. I knew the basic concept of the show but never watched episodes. Not only is the show impressive, so is this DVD set. Seinfeld really is "the show about nothing", if you're looking for sophisticated humor this isn't it. If that's your type of thing, you should definitely watch Frasier. Even though this DVD set includes season one and season two, there are only eighteen episodes. But the DVD makes up for that with very informative extras which I'll discuss later in my review. I love how the simplest problem could become bigger and bigger as the episode goes on. It's just so entertaining and the cast do an excellent job in my opinion. One of my favorite episodes was from season one entitled "the Baby Shower." But it's hard to describe my favorite part because there are three subplots for Jerry, Elaine and George. And that's another thing, many times the whole episode feels like a subplot but each subplot is combined together brilliantly which makes for fantastic viewing.
The bonus features are some of the best I've seen for a show on DVD, there are just so many. But fortunately it doesn't get confusing finding the one you want. When you select what episode you want to watch on the episode menu, another menu pops up which also lets you select the bonus feature you want to watch that's made for that episode. But if you just want to watch all the extras at once, there is an extras menu which has them all listed there as well. Speaking of extras, here are what the usual extras are for this set. There are audio commentaries with the cast, writers, and creator Larry David, also included with each episode are production notes which will pop up every once in a while, there informative but they can get distracting after a while. There also is a five minute segment featured for most of the episodes called the "Inside Look", which just briefly discusses the episodes plot, and filming it, these are very interesting. The rest are bloopers, promos, some old, hard to find Jerry Seinfeld stand-up footage and an hour long documentary on how Seinfeld was created. In all, just a ton of fantastic interesting bonus features that I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Each disc is placed in a separate slim case and the discs episode descriptions and extras are featured on the back. Down below I'll list season one and two's episode descriptions. Just saying, on the DVD the episodes are listed by production number, I'm listing them by their original airdate. "The Stranded" (Included on this set) was first aired in season three.
