I found the set to be everything I hoped it to be except for the packaging. I am never completely satisfied with the packaging of complete sets of any TV series, so, in all honesty I cannot, cite the Seinfeld series for less than desirable packaging--it is true of all sets of TV series. What can I say? If you like Seinfeld this is the most economical way to get the whole series. It is high quality and you will be more than satisfied if you are a Seinfeld fan. I certainly would buy it again. Charles J.

All the other 1 star reviews are about how unfair it is to offer a new package with more content when "true fans" have bought all the other series as they came out one-by-one. Welcome to the utterly evil world of marketing and Sony's truly despicable goal of turning a profit. Get real.
My gripe is this: the DVDs are terrible. They are of very low quality, episodes often freeze for seconds and do that crazy digital pixelation thing frequently. I got this as a Christmas present from my wife but soon returned it when I saw the state of the discs. Got a whole new set and they act pretty much the same way. And before you think it's my DVD player - I have about a 100 DVDs in my collection and they all play perfectly. I am a HUGE Sienfeld fan, which is why this is so annoying. Hence the 1 star rating. Shame on Sony for using such trashy hardware on the amazing work of genius that is the Seinfeld series.

If you enjoy watching Seinfeld, this series is a must buy. Seasons 1 and 2 aren't my favorite, but there are still laughs to be had. We randomly select a disc and episode and can always have a good time, as Seinfeld is one of the few series that my husband and I can watch over and over again and still enjoy it. The special features on these discs are great too - commentaries feature the major actors (Jerry, Jason, Michael, and Julia) and production crew (director, writers) instead of lame second-tier stars (think: The Office DVDs), and each episode features "Notes About Nothing," similar to VH1s old Pop Up Video, but not as distracting since it's written across the bottom of the screen like closed captioning. $140 seems like a lot, but I really think this series is worth every penny.

The set came in good condition. All of the DVD's were brand new and have functioned perfectly. Also the coffee table book has been a great addition to help anyone learn some interesting Seinfeld trivia.

These are the same DVDs as previously released in season-packs, but you also get the coffee table book, episode guide, and a bonus DVD featuring a roundtable discussion with the 4 main actors plus Larry David.
This is a great deal for people who don't already own many of the individual seasons. Only problem is finding a place for it on the bookshelf--it's huge!
