Amazon.com:
The fifth season of Seinfeld is without a doubt the series' best. By their fifth year, the Seinfeld gang had ironed out the bumps from the first two seasons, further developing characters. The loyal fan base that had been accumulating over the years was now more or less the entire nation's viewing audience. The pressure was on to give this new, mega fan base a high dose of their unique, misanthropic comedy, and Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Kramer (Michael Richards) delivered in spades. Yes, other seasons may have funnier individual episodes, but as a whole season five consistently delivers the goods, including many of the show's all-time classic episodes. In the season opener, Jerry discovers the secret, sexual power of 'The Mango.' While vacationing in 'The Hamptons' we not only learn that George's date likes to sunbathe topless in front of his friends, but also that cold water has the power to shrink. In 'The Stall' Elaine is rejected while trying to share toilet paper only to learn that the selfish neighbor is Jerry's girlfriend. In order to really make a life change, George decides to do 'The Opposite' of all his instincts and surprisingly everything in his life falls perfectly into place. And of course, who can forget the ridiculous puffy shirt Kramer's low-talking girlfriend talks Jerry into wearing on The Today Show. This box set also includes the featurette 'Jason+Larry=George' explaining how Jason Alexander embodied Larry David's alter ego to create George Costanza, plus deleted and behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive stand up footage of Jerry Seinfeld. --Rob Bracco

If you are a Seinfeld fan, you must own this as well as all the others. This series keeps getting better and is one of the all-time classic sitcoms. I can watch any episode and it makes me laugh.
Rating: - Amazing season for a great show!
I love every single episode of Seinfeld and seem to associate almost everything in my daily life with something from either Seinfeld or the Simpsons. That being said, this season of Seinfeld contains one gem after another. A rundown on my favorite episodes: Episode 5, The Bris: The most hilarious part of this is the moyle that doesn't even make it as a kosher butcher is now tasked with circumcision of infants. He is unsteady, has a fear of loud sounds, is generally anal retentive, and doesn't like children...and yet he is the person they let do the deed! So funny I can't even describe it. In the extras, Jason Alexander says that he didn't think it was good for the moyle to hate children, but I differ with him and think it was a very funny, subtle touch to the episode. Episode 7, The Non-Fat Yogurt: I appreciate how Guiliani actually came on the show...I'd say more, but don't want to give it away. Episode 8, The Barber: Sheer comic genius. Take one part Seinfeld, one part Newman, and two parts Rossini and mix them all up, et voila! Although it's never mentioned, I have a feeling the old Looney Tunes with Bugs in the comedic roles had an influence on this. Episode 13, The Marine Biologist: The extras indicate that many consider this a classic episode and you can easily tell why: just funny from start to finish! My favorite part is when George is giving his "Melvillesque" telling of how he saved the whale ("Easy big fella!"). Episode 22, The Opposite. The title says it all. Enjoy Seinfeldians!
Rating:  - The Emperor's New Shtick
Let me be the innocent child in "The Emperor's New Clothes," and proclaim:
Jerry Seinfeld is not funny!
Oh, I know what you're thinking: Here's a guy who thinks Seinfeld was unfunny, but his cast was hilarious.
No. At best the rest of the cast was mildly amusing (although Jason Alexander is a talented actor, he is not necessarily hilarious, hence the two stars).
Because, when it comes down to brass tacks, "Seinfeld" *was* a "show about nothing" -- in every sense of the word:
The contrived semi-plots, with choppy one-liner segments.
The cloying, annoying, ejaculatory bass riffs between shots.
Jerry Seinfeld posing as this hipster: Yeah, right, a hipster with a ridiculous bushy mullet. At best, Seinfeld was an Upper West Side Jewish version of Jeff Foxworthy. You want to know why people think Jewish men are smug, metrosexual wimpish know-it-alls? I submit Jerry Seinfeld as "Exhibit A." If a WASP played a Jew such as Seinfeld, he'd be accused of bigoted racial slurs against the Jewish people. Grating, like fingernails down a chalkboard.
Oh, and speaking of freakish hair-do's: Is there anyone alive who thinks that Michael Richards as Kramer would even inspire a single chuckle if shorn of that ridiculous Brillo-pad hair? Within three episodes, he'd have been out of the door, after having been reduced to haranguing black hecklers in the studio audience: He's a [n-word]! He's a [n-word]!
