Not Just Great...Classic TV Everybody remotely interested in purchasing the Seinfeld DVDs recognizes that Seinfeld is classic television. It is up there with "I Love Lucy" "M*A*S*H" and every other piece of classic television. However, that isn't the best part of owning the first two seasons on DVD. The first season, though short, provides every viewer with the early episodes, which set the foundation of originality and creativity in that makes "Seinfeld" so great. The second season is equally great. No one season of "Seinfeld" is much worse or better than the next. Partly because nearly every episode is just as memorable as another, but mainly because the idea behind "Seinfeld" is to provide viewers with a comical, but exaggerated, look on the minor events in life that are universal and easily relatable. What I'm trying to say is that no season has a real "theme". You don't have to see episode 3 to watch episode four. If the first episode of "Seinfeld" you ever watch is the 156th, you will know as much about the purpose and plot of the show than a person who saw the first 155. That's what makes the show so great. Seasons 1 & 2 are as good as 3,4,5,6, etc. The best thing about owning this first set in the "Seinfeld" collection isn't probably even owning the episodes themselves. "Seinfeld" can be seen on any channel at any time it seems. The best thing about this set is the amazing lengths to which the cast, Larry David, and other people behind the show went through to provide some of the most in-depth and detailed bonuses on any box set. I rarely listen to commentaries on other DVDs, but the "Seinfeld" ones are so fascinating, it's like watching a new episode. Mini-documentaries on certain episodes are also chock full of little known facts about the show. The hour-long documentary on this box set is very disappointing if you caught the "Seinfeld" special on Thanksgiving 2004. It's pretty much exactly the same thing. However, there is so much to this set, it is irresistable for even the casual fan.
