Movie Reviews of Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2
Movie Review: I hope we do not wait 20 yrs for this DVD-set
Summary: 5 Stars
Writing a review about a non-esisting Seinfeld tv sitcom DVD? Well, it seems someone at Amazon likes it, like millions of people on this planet (and who knows where elese :)X-Files, Star Trek, Friends, Fawlty Towers, 24, Malcolm and even Space 1999 tv series are now available on DVD. Why not the Seinfeld 180 episodes?
The only reason I can think of is corporate greed. The show is still shown on tv, in the US it is broadcast at least once a day (in my area - even three times now - Fall 2002. Nielsen ratings are not publicy available for non-prime time tv so we do not know how many people are watching, but certainly quite a lot. thus attracting advertisers. What is bad in this, some shows are repeated very often (e.g. Contest or Car Dealership) while others are never or very rarely repeated (e.g. Mom and Pop Store, Puerto Rican Day). Fortunately dvd burners are so cheap now that some individuals offer home made episode collections, but not on ebay, which restricts it and chases for copyright violation. What can we do? Write to our congressmen?
Movie Review: Here's why it isn't out...
Summary: 5 Stars
Seinfeld isn't already out there because there isn't a demand for it or because it wouldn't be profitable to produce. Heck, they put the cult Planet of the Apes series on DVD. The fact is that the rights to the series are complicated. Fox owns the network rights to the sitcom and TBS has recently bought the Cable rights. Even though the series has been off the air for half a decade the reruns still bring in better viewership than some of their networks' primetime programming. Also, running reruns requires little overhead, it is a cost-effective arrangement, more so than producing an original series. As a result, if the DVDs were released, it would stand to reason that less people would tune in to their respective networks for the reruns, lowering the price of advertising and ultimately lowering profits. I am sure that these networks will eventually see the (monetary) wisdom of giving the people what they want, but they are stonewalling for now, and until a deal can be struck, we will just have to wait for the DVDs and watch the reruns on the stations.Movie Review: Best Show Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Critics and fans agree, this is the best show ever. Finally, we can watch them without commercials and without the merciless editing of syndication.
Now, for those of you whom do not consider this the greatest show ever, I feel sorry for you because it just means you have missed the point. OF COURSE THE CHARACTERS ARE SELF CENTERED! First, the show is about THEM! Second, its satire, people! In case you haven't noticed, America is self-centered, and Americans are self-centered. Sure, there are those of us who aren't, but come on. If you don't act like the characters in Seinfeld, you at least want to from time to time. Plus, it's FUNNY! Oh, Friends makes me laugh, but not like Seinfeld. The way David and Seinfeld string together the multiple plots is pure genius. (See Curb Your Enthusiasm for a continuance of this genius.) Best of all, Seinfeld is the perfect mix of low-brow and intelligent humor. And there is never any true drama (unlike Friends). It's just a smart, witty, funny show. And it's all about nothing. Marvelous!
Movie Review: one star inappropriate reviews from a stupid kid
Summary: 5 Stars
he thinks seinfeld is lame but spiderman is the best? come back kid when you get pubes and start understanding life a little...it ain't about spiderman i can tell you that much...seinfeld captures every awkward type accident that we have ever encountered before and makes us realize how silly the little things are that annoy us ...I have posted reviews for dvd's before and amazon rejected them, although I felt they were entirely appropriate, so how this little punk kid gets not one, but two lousy reviews in that aren't even reviews is beyond me...I don't know, maybe he's related to someone on the amazon staff...anyway, I reported it as inappropriate...so whether you'll ever see MY review will see the light of day remains to be seen...this is one of the best shows that has ever graced the tv screen, and now it has finally been given the royal treatment and released on season sets...i applaud the folks responsible for their efforts and if you are a fan, you should not hesitate in purchasing every season setMovie Review: Give me Seinfeld!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only recently become a fan of Seinfeld since I got cable. It was soon after my obsession with the show began, that I discovered it was no longer being made. I then discovered that although the show has gained little air time (other than a nightly slot at 12 o'clock on BBC 2) over here in merry old england that it was very popular in America and still is with several showings a day. I then came to the obvious conclusion that such a show would surely have been released on VHS format at least. But no. And why the he[ck] not, there are so many people that would love to posess a copy of the brilliant antics of Seinfeld and his buddies. The show cant just be continued to be shown once a day until it is inevitably replaced by further episodes of Dharma and :( Greg or even worse, Mad About You-oh the horror. The show deserves a permanent lodgement in every fans home and if the people behind it dont see that then I would like an explanation as to why they feel the need to torment me like this.
