Seinfeld DVD News (For Null)

[Stonecutter]

I completely forgot about the TBS/TNT run of Seinfeld.

[Joeiss]

I didn't start watching Seinfeld until after it was off the air.

[The Germanator]

It's funny...If Seinfeld had not been syndicated so much, then I would have been interested in the DVDs. I've seen every episode at least 5 or 6 times, so I don't have too much interest in owning them all unless the features are great (same with the Simpsons DVDs)

It's a fantastic show, but I might not get them all until Fox stop showing it every night.

[ZebraRampage]

Ah, this will be a good present for my dad, which I will enjoy as well. Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm are great shows. It's all because of Larry David.
