Rating:  - ANOTHER INCREDIBLE SEASON!
This sjhow was so great it is hard to say which season was the best. This one is a strong contender. The fact that the "could be the best episode" is in the season it is a must have. What episode am I talking about?......The Contest! of course...but you know that.....didn't you?
Rating: - Shop Around!
The DVDs are great, they have lots of extra features and commentary. You probably know whether or not youre going to buy them, but you should shop around! Target sells the first 5 seasnons for $20!
Rating: - "My Mother Caught Me..." "Doing What?" "You Know!"
I don't have this season on DVD yet, but seeing what my favorite episodes on here are, "The Contest" The Bubble Boy" and The Airport". The latter being my favorite episode ever. In Australia these episodes came out on video in the order i mentioned. I can't seem to stop watching them. Especially "The Airport", that cracks me up everytime. I love the scene where Jerry is sleeping in first class an Elaine comes in to go to sleep, and you can see the sarcastic sleeping look on his face on having the advantage of being in first class, and Elaine having to suffer sitting next to an oger of a man in economy class. The funniest scene is where Jerry says "I'll take the first class". then Elaine says "Jerry!" Seinfeld replies, "What?" Elaine Replies, "Why should you get first class?" He replies, "Elaine, have you ever flown first class?" she replies "No" he replies, "Alright then, see you don't know what your'e missing, i've flown first class Elaine i can't go back to coach, i can't, i won't!" Elaine replies "You flew here coach!" He replies, "Yeah that's a point" She replies "Alright fine, i don't care! The plane crashes, everybody in first class is gonna die anyway!" Seinfeld closes the disagreement by saying "Yeah i'm, sure you'll live!". Best episode ever.
Rating: - Seinfeld DVDs are master of my domain
Seinfeld is super fantastic. If you don't like it then I feel bad that you're missing out on the finer things in life.
Rating: - The "show about nothing " certainly has something in this season
Seinfeld was at the top of its game during this season. Not only because of some brilliant individual episodes, but because of a story arc that poked fun at network television itself. Specifically, the story arc consists of satirizing network suits and the ridiculous ways decisions are made as to which shows make it to the screen, and which do not. After watching season 4 of Seinfeld, we begin to wonder if South Park doesn't have it right - maybe Manatees really are writing dialogue for our most popular shows? Jerry and George have finally gotten their foot in the door with NBC and are pitching ideas for the pilot episode of their show "Jerry". The pair offer up what is essentially the script of the actual Seinfeld episode "The Chinese Restaurant", which was both popularly and critically acclaimed. The NBC suits are unimpressed. The next idea the pair present, however, which is a ridiculous plot in which a judge sentences someone who has hit Jerry's car to be his butler is lauded by the network suits as a great original idea.
The show is often absurd, and though it seems impossible that such a group of self-absorbed people could carry on even the pretense of a multi-year friendship, something about it is oddly familiar to most of us. That is at least partly because of the great interaction between the main characters in which they have both comic and straight-man duties depending on the situation, making their relationships seem real although exaggerated.
As for the individual episodes, "The Contest" had quite daring material in 1992. But the wit of the episode and the character interaction makes it stand up 15 years later after the shock value has long since passed. "The Bubble Boy" presents the audience with a rude and obnoxious individual as the victim of an immune deficiency disease versus the patient angels that usually play this role. "The Outing" introduced the phrase "not that there's anything wrong with that" into American pop culture and also smartly satirized political correctness. "The Junior Mint" shows George in familiar form when he pleads with Jerry not to intervene to save an artist's life because it would devalue the artist's paintings he has purchased in anticipation of that same artist's death. "Seinfeld" truly has a gift for entertaining while pushing the audience to the brink of offense.
I highly recommend this Emmy award-winning season of "Seinfeld" as one of the best seasons of any comedy show ever.
