I felt that after 4 episodes that I got the joke and didn't need to see anymore.People have praised this show for years but I really couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

Without a doubt the best thing to come out of america since hot dogs.. for anyone that hasnt seen seinfeld i cant stress enough on what you have been mising... the show is great from the early series right up to the ninth series.. it has won zillions of awards and the writing is fantastaic... stop reading this now and rent these episodes... you will not regret this..

Melon from East Sussex , 11/03/2005

The selfish adventures of Jerry, George, Elaine and Cosmo are to my mind the greatest sitcom series ever. The viciousness of the behaviour, the social acuity of the observations, the labyrinthe intricacy of the plotting made every 20 minute episode a pure joy. They were pretty much shelved into a midnight screening slot by the BBC over here so could never replicate their massive Stateside success. As such this DVD release may be the only way for newcomers to the show to find out what the fuss is all about.

A word of advice though. The first season really does seem clunky (Seinfeld himself observes on the disc it feels like a home movie) as the series did take time to develop it's pace. As such the first disc is really a curiousity piece for die-hard fans, as the actors are only just starting to develop their characters, and it's interesting to see the little changes that were necessary to turn the show into gold-dust. Therefore newcomers would be best off starting with the third season discs to get themselves hooked for life. That's where the show really starts hitting it's stride, never missing a beat for the rest of it's run. The sheer venality of the characters is still a breath of fresh air. Enjoy.

Rated - 5 starsSeinfeld set the standard for 90s comedy

splodge from Portsmouth , 27/04/2006

Yep – definitely a classic comedy for years to come. The writing’s as tight as Fawlty Towers (as high a compliment as you can get in my book). For me this series marked the beginning for US comedy – Cheers was OK, but it still had that high-minded self-importance of old American sitcoms. Seinfeld was a real breath of fresh air from across the pond – this in the day of Britcom drivel like ‘Mrs Bouquet’ et al. The Yanks finally learnt not to take themselves so seriously, hence Frasier, Larry Sanders, even the Simpsons and South Park. It is to the BBC’s mortal shame that this show, with its British style observational humour, was never given better than the ‘graveyard’ slot near midnight.

The DVD’s a bit fiddly to work, so it may be worth setting aside a couple of hours to view it all in one (you seem to have to fast forward through the 1st show before the menu appears for the remainder). Even though I love the show, the 20 minute episodes are also a real boon – God forbid we ever get to the state of putting up with 10 mins of adverts every half an hour.
