Movie Reviews of Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2
Movie Review: This would be a great topic for a Seinfeld episode!
Summary: 5 Stars
The language of the Seinfeld series has become a part of popular culture (like Cheers, MASH, or the Honeymooners) as people often quote lines or situations from the show. Likewise, since Seinfeld's creation, everyone has probably experienced a daily situation that would make a great episode on Seinfeld. I personally remember some of the daily annoyances from the show, like getting soup from a rude owner, having someone talking too close, trying to pick up a "reserved" rental car, or watching someone do a dance that's really odd. I know that I have experienced similar daily annoyances and have simply thought to myself, "what a Seinfeld-ism." Every now and then, I think of a specific episode of Seinfeld that I want to view; however, even my homemade videos of various episodes doesn't really help, because I don't know which episodes (from which season) are on which video. So, they continue to sit and collect dust. Since many other tv series and sitcoms (Friends, the Sopranos, Sex in the City, The X Files, and 24) have been selling newly released DVDs and video tapes of their show by seasons, I figured that Seinfeld would NATURALLY be out on the shelves a LONG TIME AGO. However, I can't find them anywhere. I really hope the creators of the show will soon publish/produce such a DVD with all of the sucessful seasons. I would certainly buy all of them in a heartbeat because it's great to laugh at the daily routines humans seem to have.
Movie Review: You don't like Seinfeld? NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
To say Seinfeld is an outstanding television series is an understatement. From the first time I started watching reruns of the show about 2 years ago to the present day, I have not been able to get enough of Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer. The wit and humor of "Seinfeld" is unmatched by any other series, past or present, and it will remain as the greatest series in television series for quite some time. From the top-notch writing to the hilarious one-liners to the brilliant supporting cast (Newman, George's parents, Jay Peterman, etc.), this show has it all.What makes "Seinfeld" so great is the vast amount of classic episodes it had over it's nine seasons. Among my personal favorites include "The Soup Nazi", "The Bizarro Jerry", "The Opposite", "The Voice", "The Airport", and quite possibly the most memorable 30 minutes in TV history: "The Contest" (Kramer: "I'm out!!"). While these are just a few of the classic "Seinfeld" episodes, there's something in each of the 180 episodes that will make you laugh out loud 'til it hurts.
There's no doubt in my mind that when it comes out onto DVD, "Seinfeld" will be the greatest selling DVD set in history. It's a show about nothing that is full of everything that is wanted in a comedy series: Great acting, hilarious stories, and extremely well-written scripts. Do yourself a favor and pick this up whenever it comes out; it'll be well worth the purchase.
Movie Review: Seinfeld DVDs in Australia
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a huge fan of Seinfeld, and I'd love to own it all so I can watch it at my leisure. Anyway, I went into Target (Rockhampton, Australia) yesterday to check out the Seinfeld DVDs - I was seriously thinking about buying them. The prices were :
- Season 1&2 are $80 AUD
- Season 3 is $80 AUD
So, $160 AUD for 40 episodes. Given that there are 180 episodes, the total cost of owning Seinfeld will be about 160 * 180 / 40 = $720 AUD. And, to watch these you will be juggling anything up to 30 DVD disks.
Yeuck.
As much as I love Seinfeld, I'm not all that keen on paying a $700+ for it, but worst of all I hate the thought of juggling 30 damn DVDs. So, I'm waiting for higher format disk versions to come out. Hurry up Blu-Ray !!
I can't imagine too many people out there spending $700 on Seinfeld - and Target's shelves were full of the first 2 packs, and no-one was buying them (or even looking at them) when I was there. Maybe when all the packs are released they will have a huge discount sale to clear all the stock that isn't moving - at least that's what I hope. $200 or less would be great for the whole 180 episodes. Then I would buy the complete set - but I still hate the thought of juggling 30 DVDs. ;)
All on 1 super capacity disc would be much better. ;)
Movie Review: The Greatest Sitcom Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, maybe the title of this review was a little over-the-top, but I just can't help it. This show was the lone wolf of television sitcoms. Nothing was like it then, and nothing is like it now. I called it the "lone wolf" sitcom, because it was out there. Uncoventional? Yes, most definitely. "Seinfeld" broke all the barriers for all the other television sitcoms that followed. I mean come on. Name one show from 1989 and back that got away with what Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David wrote.
Anyway, this DVD collection contains all original episodes from seasons 1 and 2. Uncut, remastered, and oh, so awesome. The special features on these discs are fantastic. All jammed pack with an hour or so long documentary, which for those who didn't watch Thanksgiving night was the special that aired that night except this is the unedited version of the documentary. Each discs also contains an "Inside Look" into the story of certain episodes and has interviews with all the casts members and writers with whom share their experience of that particular episode with us.
Well....there is alot here to talk about, but I'm just going to say that if you do not own this DVD set, then I urge you to pick it up. This show was innovative and one of the funniest sitcoms I've ever seen.
Movie Review: Classic comedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Particularly memorable episodes include Season 2's "The Chinese Restaurant," where the gang manages to create all kinds of problems and distractions doing nothing other than waiting for a table at a restaurant; and "The Phone Message," where George accidentally leaves a furious message on his girlfriend's answering machine and then convinces Jerry they must get into the apartment to retrieve it.
While this box set is a short one, episode-wise (largely because Season 1 had only five) it makes up with a myriad of extras, including deleted scenes, bloopers and commentaries.
Even decades later, the humor of this smart show holds up, perhaps even stronger than ever.
