Who would have believed that a show about nothing would someday become a classic to be ranked up there with shows such as "I Love Lucy," "Leave It To Beaver," or the "Brady Bunch." But that is exactly what Seinfeld has done. After nine wonderful seasons, Seinfeld became a contemporary classic whose reruns are still high in the rankings. In this DVD featuring Seasons 1 & 2, we are introduced to the three of the four single New Yorks that we come to know and love: Jerry, Kramer & George. Later in the Season, after producers decided they needed a female character, we are introduced to the fourth Seinfeld friend, Elaine. In these first two seasons, Jerry's apartment looks bare compared to later seasons. Kramer is bit more rough around the edges and George just hasn't quite got his "game" (funny) on at this time; but it's still well worth the watching so that you can see these characters grow. Just bare with this new show during these two seasons, and I can promise you'll become a Seinfeld fan for life!Read full review
They are hilarious. I didn't expect the first season or two to be as funny but they were funny from the very beginning. Jason Alexander really has the "George" character well. He is perfect from the beginning. Kramer and Elaine haven't quite "gotten into" their characters yet but they're still good and the shows are very enjoyable. There are about 4 episodes regarding sex but other than that they're mostly about humorous experiences in life. Some of these include a harmless remark about a pony that ends up upsetting an aunt & she dies (not because of that ........but they think it's the reason), a harmless remark about a busboy that costs him his job and how they try to make it up to him, a situation where Elaine is dating someone she can't stand and how it affects her, George leaves a message on a machine that he hates & they try to switch the tapes. It's just everyday things that are funny when they're happening to someone else ........of course.Read full review
"Seinfeld" has one of the best television casts ever assembled. The writing is witty and intelligent, although some of the content is not suitable for children. "Seinfeld" is great adult entertainment dished out in easy-to-digest 30 minute segments. Season 1 & 2 contain some classic episodes.
Witness the birth of the most influential comedy since I Love Lucy. Sure, Season 1 is rough around the edges, sure the clothes and hair are a bit dated. But it is a must-have for all true fans of Seinfeld and TV fans alike. It is very interesting to see the genesis of the characters - for example see George as a semi-successful real estate agent before the writers doomed him to loser-dom. In season 2, the show really develops its wings. Episodes such as The Chinese Restaurant, and The Statue belong in the Pantheon of Seinfeld and Sitcom history. If you can find a human left on this earth who for some reason didn't get into Seinfeld, buy this right away and give them a gift to change their life.
The Seinfeld DVD collection is the best selling TV series collection on the market for a good reason. It is simply the best TV series available on video. The characters: Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are perfectly cast and perfectly played. The writing by Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, and company is fantastic. The topics are hilarious because they all hit so close to home with simple, everyday themes. The extra features are delightful. There are lots of behind the scenes looks, interviews, stand up extras, bloopers, deleted scenes, commentaries, and more. Don't by any means underestimate seasons 1 & 2 which are just as good if not better than any other season. It's lots of fun to see where and how the series began and watch it progress in the early days.
I feel that Seinfeld is the greatest sit-com ever. I bought this as a gift for my daughter that had only seen a few episodes but enjoyed them. The dvds are in excellent condition and I'm pleased.

I decided to buy this, having become addicted, with so much laughter in mind. Even for a show 'about nothing' it's reflection of one's 'everday life' and how hilarous it can be presented. The added dramatizaiton could be presented in the same to any one of us' daily chaos! Watching it on TV, leading me to want more!
This set shows the start and evolution of one of the best sitcoms of the 1990s! For a show about nothing, this show packs a ton of laughs in each episode! You will fall in love with these quirky characters as you embark on a journey through life in New York City, with them. Experience their triumphs and failures, follow them through their relationships and work situations... and their everyday dealings with some normal, and some off-the-wall individuals that they encounter all the way. I highly recommend this show to anyone who wants to laugh and have a good time!
I bought these DVDs online since I found a bargain price compared to shopping in the stores. I eventually would like to get the whole series for my video library. The tapes arrived in excellent condition and played fine. As long as they played, nothing else matters, because this is my favorite comedy show and I wouldn't be disappointed, especially getting the special bonus features, too. I've seen all of the shows, but now I get to watch without commercials.
Note that this is Season 1&2 but Season 1 is only 4 episodes & Season 2 around 13. They got longer each year when finally picked up in certainty. Nevertheless, it is funny & life familiarity is why! Great series.
