Rating:  - Another Gift Set Coming Soon!
Loved my first Gift Set, which included Seasons 1-3 of the series! I can't wait for November 22, 2005: Sony is releasing the second Gift Pack, which will include Season 5 and 6 (also available as separate seasons).
[...]
Gift set will include:
* Complete Seasons 5, and 6 on Region 1 DVD
* An Exclusive Replica of the "Puffy Shirt" that Jerry wore on The Tonight Show.
* Reproduction of a hand-written script from "The Pilot" (Episodes 4.23/4.24) by Jerry Seinfeld
Seasons 5 and 6 include some of the most hilarious episodes of the entire series:
The Puffy Shirt
The Bris
The Lip Reader
The Non Fat Yogurt
The Masseuse
The Big Salad
The Label Maker
The Fusilli Jerry
And many more. I would have a hard time picking a "favorite season", so I won't do so, but I will say I'm counting off the days until November 22, and I hope Amazon updates their information soon regarding Season 5 and 6 soon. (They currently state there are no plans for the DVD release, but rest assured, it IS coming out in November, [...]);
Rating: - You Can Get This Box Set With the 4th Season Instead
It may interest you to know if you have a multizone DVD player or one that can play PAL (European, UK Australian, New Zealand etc) format DVDs that this gift set sold in America with the first three seasons instead comes with the Emmy winning fourth season in these countries. If you already own the first three seasons and just want the playing cards, script, Monk's diner ketchup and mustard bottles salt and pepper shakers than this may be a great alternative than doubling up on the DVDs you already have. I found that although these bonuses aren't of the greatest quality they are a nice bonus and you can use the box they come in to store all the seasons released so far in as they all fit nicely with room left over. In the gift box set or on its own either the 4th season or the 1st, 2nd and 3rd seasons of Seinfeld are a must own on DVD.
Rating:  - The box set is only a gimmick. Save your money and buy the DVDs individually
Please note: I am giving a 1-star rating to the overall "Seinfeld Limited Edition Gift Set (Seasons 1-3 with Original Script, Salt & Pepper Shakers, and Playing Cards)." The episodes themselves are great 5-star affairs.
I just wanted to give a heads-up to prospective buyers that this box set is a bit of a letdown. The salt and pepper shakers are miniatures that stand about three inches tall, the so-called "original script" is a cheap miniature photocopy of a script (and is hardly legible), and as for it being signed, well, think again. It is not literally signed. What you really get is a photocopy of Larry David's signature on a small and useless photocopy of a script, with photocopies of illegible scribings by David throughout the script. If you want a signed script, I'd suggest looking elsewhere for one that is literally signed in-person and has a Certificate of Authenticity. And the playing cards are small and useless as well.
I know this box set is very attractive. Obviously, that's why I bought it myself. But it really is quite a disappointment once you open it up. I recommend buying the DVDs for seasons 1-3 individually. You will save about thirty bucks.
Rating: - A must for Fans
The extras alone are worth the money. If you want to know MORE about the development of the show and development of specific episodes, you'll love these DVD's.
Rating: - BUY IT! A MUST HAVE!
Seinfeld is great on itself, but adding those extra few things make it even better. You are able to surround yourself with Seinfeld. The episodes are unbelievable, the script is great, characters are memorable. There is no way you can beat this. Jerry will never get away from the show, neither will Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards. This show is definately the best show of all time.
