Rating:  - Timeless Humour
Once again Seinfeld is represented in timeless form via the Season 5 DVD release. I loved watching Seinfeld when it was on TV but I love it even more the second time round on DVD.With classic episodes such as The Bris and The Puffy Shirt, Seinfeld really starts to go from the show about "Nothing" to the show about everything. In season 5 we get even more intimate with the characters as they become part of our own everyday TV viewing activity. This is a must in any DVD collection!
Rating:  - Not as good as Season 4, but still one of the best seasons
I received this as a gift which was good, as I won't personally buy any Sony products because they just plain suck. I wouldn't even think about putting this DVD into my computer.
As for the DVD's themselves, they are awesome. All of the extras, deleted scenes, bloopers, notes about nothing, etc. Jerry had a lot to do with these DVD's and he did a great job. I love every episode of this season except for The Bris. My favorite would have to be The Sniffing Accountant.
Rating: - My favorite season
I don't know what to say about Seinfeld that hasn't been said a thousand times before by people far more analytical and intelligent than I am.
All I know is what I like. And I like -- no, make that LOVE -- Season 5 of Seinfeld.
Every episode works for me. Each one is sharply written and wonderfully acted. The humor is genuine and springs from actors who are comfortable with their characters.
Favorite episodes include:
The Mango
The Puffy Shirt
The Glasses
The Sniffing Accountant
The Bris
The Lip Reader
The Non-Fat Yogurt
The Barber
The Masseuse
The Cigar Store Indian
The Conversion
The Stall
The Dinner Party
The Marine Biologist
The Pie
The Stand-In
The Wife
The Raincoats (1)
The Raincoats (2)
The Fire
The Hamptons
The Opposite
All right. You got me. That lists includes every episode in Season 5. They're all favorites. (Okay, special favorites include "The Marine Biologist," "The Conversion," "The Hamptons" and "The Sniffing Accountant.")
The DVD set includes hilarious outtakes and informative, entertaining behind-the-scenes featurettes.
If you love comedy, and I mean some of the wittiest comedy ever to hit the little screen, Seinfeld Season 5 is just what the doctor ordered.
Rating:  - Watch out for Sony Copy Protection - This DVD doesn't work on some systems.
The DVD is no doubt excellent but Sony has a new copy protection system on it and despite trying two different sets neither one works with disc 1 (on 2 computer dvd drives and 1 independent DVD player connected to my monitor).
It is obviously a copy protection scheme, good work Sony, I've stopped buying CD's and soon may stop on DVD's as well. You pay hundreds of dollars for DVD players and they go obsolete within a year or two because of new encoding, what a waste.
Rating: - Sea was angry that day my friends
"The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to return soup in a deli....
....I reached in and pulled out the obstruction!"
"Is that a Titliest?"
One of the best scenes in the history of television.
-The Marine Biologist
