Movie Reviews of Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2
Movie Review: I have a copy of it right here in my hands...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not often that we in Australia get releases before both the U.S & U.K, but lucky for us on this occasion, both box sets have been released today, October 20, 2004, over a month prior to U.S release.
I'm glad to say that they're everything we've been promised and then some more. the Oz versions are identical to the forthcoming U.S versions with the exception of the covers, which are typically disappointing versions of the U.S ones. (2 Amaray cases in a shoddy slipcase). Apart from that, all the contents are identical.
I won't bother reviewing the episodes as we all are familiar with their brilliance but it's good to finally have unedited versions with no commercial breaks. And the HD remasters are fantastic - not quite as good as the Twin Peaks remasters a few years ago but incredibly impressive.
The bonus extras really do set the benchmark for tv on dvd releases - they're thoroughly, ah, thorough. Most episodes are representing with bonus material - deleted scenes, bloopers, ect.
Can't be bothered writing any more. I'm back to the box......enjoy!
Movie Review: Comedy for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know about you, but I'm only 18 years old, and I grew up watching this show. As far as I'm concerened, there will never, EVER, be a show quite like Seinfeld. The people at "The Simpsons" try, but Jerry is a genius.Moreover, just take a second and do the math. Lets see...9 seasons, that makes 9 DVD sets, and even taking the low side of DVD sets prices today, that's (multiply the 5, carry the 1, add the three...ah who knows!) THAT'S A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY!!! Jerry can cha-ching all the way to the bank, and he doesn't even need to do anything. Not releasing this DVD would not only disappoint fans, but any network executive who passes up that much money should be fired or shot.
Anyways, I may be young, but I know what I'm talking about; and I may be wrong, but I highly doubt it. If you like Seinfeld, good for you, and if you don't, you should watch the show again, and again, and again, and again, until you understand the genius of the writing.
RELEASE THIS DVD OR THERE WILL BE A HOLE IN THE LIFE OF A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN WHO, WITHOUT THIS COLLECTION, CANNOT HAVE A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE!

Summary: 5 Stars
I can see why seasons one and two were released together -- no one would buy season one on its own, with a scant five episodes from a comedy troupe that only started finding its voice four episodes into the second season. While "Seinfeld" may have been cutting edge when it aired, the first two seasons and particularly the first eight episodes look very 1980s and lack punch. Perhaps that is because shows like "Friends" and "Sex and the City" picked up where "Seinfeld" left off and pushed the envelope even further. But as a collector's item, this box set is priceless -- especially for the bonus material in which its founders explain how the writers managed to make the scripts tighter and funnier and how Jerry, Elaine and the other stars found their voices. In all fairness, as a documentary in this set explains, it was next to impossible to develop the show's characters until the second season because NBC ordered the pilot, then several months later ordered four more shows and only later decided to order 13 episodes. So with the uncertainty, I suppose it's remarkable that the show ever made it.Movie Review: best show on tv now on dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best tv shows ever is finally available on DVD. I have been waiting for this day ever since the show ended. This "show about nothing" is funny, quirky, and weird at times. Its a show about a New York comedian, his 3 best friends, and the crazy situations they get themselves into. Although it pushes the envelope on reality, most of us know someone that we can imagine doing these crazy things that Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer do. That's why the show became such a hit. WE would never do that, but WE can imagine someone doing it. After a slow start, (belive it or not, the best show on tv almost never made it past the first episode), Seinfeld quickly became the top conversation at the cooler friday morning at work. "Did you see seindfeld lat night"? It also came to tv at a time when stand up comedy was at its hay day. A few years later, or a few years earlier, Seinfeld would not have become the hit it was. It led the way for Ray Ramono and other stand up comedians to bring their shows into our homes now. from thebijou.net movie reviews by a fan, not a critic!Movie Review: Smart/Funny versus I Love Lucy
Summary: 5 Stars
I laughed when I read the 1 star reviews of these shows. People saying that there was no real plots, no characters that they could "love" and no punchline. I laughed because that is EXACTLY the point of this very clever comedy. You therefore, I repectfully say, have missed the point by miles.
This comedy is very deep, very very flawed characters, two or three story strands per episode, very clever and funny observational humour and NEVER a happy ending. Making it funny and original, especially compared with the conveyer belt apple-pie twee non-humour comedies that get churned out every week onto our televisions.
If the 1 star people want cuddly characters and domestic humour, then I Love Lucy and The Cosby Show are all still running. Me, I prefer this cutting edge humour of now. People mention Mash, but Mash (brilliant) was very much cutting edge and of its time in the same way.
Ignore the people who dont get it. You americans should be very proud of producing this type of comedy. Its universal and brilliant!
