 Funniest Show on Television September 19, 2007
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
For years, nothing could beat Seinfeld in funny. Then we get shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm or BBC's The Office. Seinfeld, however, stands apart as one of the greatest sitcom's ever created. It broke the mold and refused to follow the comedic forumula previously established by other lesser shows. Season 9 is one of my favorite seasons, the majority of it's episodes are on my favorite episode list. Far from declining after David's departure, it surpassed itself and my expectations in continually leaving me rolling on my living room floor each Thursday night.
Inflated price indeed September 13, 2007

I would never give Seinfeld anything less than five stars, but I have to agree with the other reviewer. The price has been seemingly unnecessarily inflated. Deflate it to the price of the other seasons, I wouldn't hesitate to make the purchase. But even as a Seinfeld afficionado, I would never be dumb enough to purchase it at that ridiculously inflated price. A horrible move indeed.
Ending on a high note September 10, 2007

Many Seinfeld fans were disappointed to see the show end, but it's very understandable that Jerry wanted to end while the show was on top rather than wait until they ran out of ideas.
This season is filled with episodes that contain that classic Seinfeld style of humor. Many people who don't like Seinfeld don't appreciate how complex and well written the story lines can be. The Betrayal (or Backwards episode) seems to be dreaded by many but is a favorite for me. I see it as a well written and thought out episode that ventures into a much more daring style of writing. Show me a movie or TV show that comes even close to this format (flashbacks DON'T count) and still maintains a funny and engaging plot.
The final episode was a disappointment for me, and I will also admit that it fell short of the standards set by the previous episodes. But I also applaud their ability to bring the show to a close and still incorporate so many of the extras that made appearances over the years.
Though maybe not the best, this season is still one of the best of the Seinfeld show. Even if you consider this a hit or miss season, those that hit, are absolutely hilarious. The goofy, unrealistic, off the wall style is what the show was all about. Pick up a copy of this as soon as it comes out.
Impatience, Impatience September 7, 2007
Cant you people wait for the item to come out before you post negative reviews. Amazon always lowers the prices in the weeks after it is announced when its coming out. No you people go ahead start your crying about the prices. I mean its still 2 months away from release. And nobody is making you buy the set anyways. Anyways this by far one of Seinfelds best seasons because of its goofyness. The Dealership is one of my favorite episodes because of the truthfulness that it brings. I mean who hasn't bought a candy bar in a vending machine and have it get hung up and we start slamming and banging the machine. Of course George takes it to the limit with his candy lineup and then Kramer stretching the gas mileage. Then of course dealing with a car dealership. So anybody reading the comments for this set ignore all negative remarks. I'm sure by October the set will be 40 dollars.
 Thankgod this was the final season of what was once a great show September 2, 2007

The show that started off about nothing really did become the show that was nothing to rave about in the last season. Season 8 was when the show really starting to decline for me but it wasn't until the awful, terrible, horrible, despicable season 9 was when Seinfeld unfortunately totally lost the plot from it's original format. Any true Seinfeld fan knows since Larry David's departure after season 7 the show had changed its formula slightly but the change from season 8 to 9 was a completely different style of comedy which made absolute fools of all 4 characters. The story lines were becoming depressingly desperate, the characters were becoming more and more stupid and the dynamic between the four of them was out the window never to be seen again. I'm sure Jerry and the rest of the gang noticed the show had lost its steam by now so it was a great thing this was the last season. Put it this way it's a shame they didn't finish one season earlier, but it's even better they didn't go one more season further.
