Seinfeld DVD News (For Null)

[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.

Also, they "feature the original NBC network versions, 1-2 minutes longer than the syndicated versions and not seen since their original broadcast runs."

Here is the cover art for all three releases, including the gift items for the Seinfeld - Gift Set:

And now some box art images...

[Jonbo298]

$40 a piece at least...ouch. Maybe paying $10 more for the box set is worth it

[Null]

ouch? actually thats quite a good price, other box sets for just 1 season cost over $100

[Stonecutter]

Yeah, but those are for one hour shows (like Trek) where you're getting 24-26 one hour (ok, 48 minute) shows.



I'm not saying that 40 a pack is bad, but you've got to take the half hour/hour thing into account.


And I still say Curb... is better.
