It's always fun and instructive to return to the humble beginnings of a series that became a pop culture benchmark. Here are Kramer's first not-so-grand entrance, Jerry's first contemptuous "Hello, Newman," and Elaine's first "Get Out!" shove. But what is most revelatory about these episodes from the first two seasons is what Jason Alexander, during his commentary for the episode "The Revenge," calls a "sweet quality" that somehow redeems these characters' more base instincts. Consider the scene in which Jerry gives a freshly unemployed George some career guidance, or Jerry and Elaine's palpably affectionate banter throughout. The "Inside Look" episode intros offer fascinating insights into this singular show that subverted sitcom convention with such now-classic episodes as "The Chinese Restaurant," in which Jerry, George, and Elaine wait in vain for a table. We learn, for example, why movie tough guy Lawrence Tierney, who guest starred in "The Jacket," never reprised his role as Elaine's father. All of this, of course, is yadda yadda yadda to Seinfeld fans, whose patience for the show's DVD debut has been amply rewarded. As Elaine screams in the third-season episode, "The Subway," "It's not nothing, it's something!" --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of Seinfeld - Seasons 1 & 2
It's stil Seinfeld - but I'd recommend getting the rest Well, Seinfeld is finally out on DVD and the problem with all collected editions is the fact that the companies feel duty bound to release the DVDs in order (the nerve!) so sometimes you get stuck buying the lame original episodes as opposed to the great episodes that defined the series for you. <

>This is not exactly the case with this one. There are still some fine episodes. It has its moments. However none of them are on the first disk which comprises "season one" (all five episodes). Watching this disk makes you feel like you're watching a 7-year old Lance Armstrong learning how to ride a bike. You know that it's going to get much much better, but that doesn't mean that you find the kid stumbling around on the bike remotely entertaining. <

>The making of featurettes are standard fare. They do make you want to rent out "Curb Your Enthusiasm" which might make you resent them. The commentary tracks are stellar because if the movie "Comedian" proved anything, it proved that Jerry Seinfeld knows how to make a commentary track (if I was in charge of marketing DVD's I'd take out 80% of the director commentaries and replace them with Seinfeld - if he was available of course.) <

>Beyond that, it's merely ok. Buy the third or the fourth season if you want real Seinfeld.
I love it
I love these episodes, although, I do prefer the later episodes but these seasons are definitley funny and are great for establishing the characters personality traits. For example, George will lie more and explode with rage more and Jerry will become even more of a germaphobe and become even more selfish, etc. as the seasons progress. These episodes are really the classic ones, they have most credit based on that but although the humour is more subtle, I still put these episodes above any other sitcom at the time and many, many that are on now.
Very Pleased
I received my DVDs in great condition and in a reasonable time frame.
