Rating:  - More Than Just a Comedy Series
If you're a T.V. Seinfeld fan you will absolutely love the DVD's. The scenes that are cut to insert commercials by syndicators are restored on the high quality DVD versions. I grew up in the United States and had always liked the series from television. I was married while living/working/studying in China in 2002 and bought the DVD's for my wife on our coming to the United States in 2005. She had never seen Seinfeld before and had never been exposed to this style of humor or the slice of American life that the series presents. We have watched the DVD's over and over again and they never fail to make us laugh and lift our spirits when we've had a bad day. We utilize the closed captioning option and it has been a great help for my wife in acquiring an understanding of casual English usage including slang, and idiom. On a more serious note, owning so many seasons and watching the episodes regularly makes you realize the sad truth that much of American life really is focused on the themes of myopic self-interest presented and ridiculed in this series. I sometimes worry that individuals may actually see the series as a validation of their lack of ethics, morals, and connection with the Creator instead of as a revelation and jabbing at today's inappropriate social dynamics; just as the Archie Bunker/All In the Family series did in the 1970's.
The DVD sets include great special features from "How It Began" to "Making a Seinfeld Episode", deleted scenes, behind the scenes commentary from cast and creators, never-before-seen standup footage of Jerry, original NBC promotional ads and trailers, outtakes and bloopers, and much, much more. It's obvious that a lot of thought and work went into producing the DVD sets and I can't wait until the remaining seasons come out for sale at Amazon. After all; "Who wouldn't love Jerry?"
Episodes included in this set are:
Season 6 - The Chaperone, The Big Salad, The Pledge Drive, The Chinese Woman, The Couch, The Gymnast, The Mom & Pop Store, The Soup, the Secretary, The Switch, The Race, The Label Maker, The Scofflaw, The Highlights of 100 (Parts 1 & 2), The Beard, The Kiss Hello, The Doorman, The Jimmy, The Doodle, The Fusilli Jerry, The Diplomat's Club, The Face Painter, The Understudy.
Rating: - This Sitcom Always Delivers
While Season 6 cannot be considered Seinfeld's breakthrough season as they had already established themselves, it shows the sitcom's ability to put out classic episodes on a consistent basis. By the time this season was airing, Seinfeld had become a cultural phenomenon, a show that was spoken about around the water cooler at offices daily for its brilliant humour. This season features numerous hit episodes, probably most notably "Fussili Jerry", "The Soup", "The Race", and "The Couch".
Obviously each of these episodes in its own right is hilarious, but another thing that makes this DVD set totally worth your money are the extras. The Inside Looks feature excellent commentary and often explanations for plotlines, and included in the interviews are the whole cast of Seinfeld, and people such as Larry David, Tom Cherones, Larry Charles and more. The Deleted Scenes are also very interesting, and offer great twists on many of the episodes.
My Favourite Episodes (please watch them all though):
The Switch: Jerry is dating a woman who doesn't laugh at any of his jokes and wants to switch girlfriend's with the woman's roommate.
The Jimmy: Elaine goes on a date with a guy who refers to himself in the third person and meanwhile Kramer is mistaken for a mentally challenged person.
The Face Painter: Elaine learns her boyfriend David Puddy likes to paint his face for playoff hockey games.
The Label Maker: Elaine gives Tim Whatley a label maker which he chooses to re-gift.
Along with all the Seinfeld dvds, Season 6 is highly recommended as a classic from the catalog. Although they hit their stride long before this, this dvd shows their ability to continue bringing the laughter show after show. Arguably the greatest sitcom ever. Do yourself a favour and buy the dvd.

Seinfeld, what more do i need to say? Great DVD, packed with great extra footage (interviews, outtakes etc.)
Rating: - Best TV Sitcom Ever!
Seinfeld is the type of show I wish I could still find on "Must See TV". Perfect chemistry between Elaine, Jerry, George, and Kramer allows us all to enjoy the humorous interactions between these 4 eccentric friends which is lacking in many pre- and post-Seinfeld sitcoms. The episodes in Season 6 are about the same quality as Season 5, but you can definitely tell that there is a change in the writing style from what was seen in Seasons 1-4 as the series begins to drift away to stories that become so bizarre that it's almost unbelievable, while still hilarious. The extras in Season 6 are also quite nice and very much appreciated, though Jerry Seinfeld isn't very animated or energetic during the commentary. Anyone purchasing this set won't be disappointed as there are many delightful extras and bonuses, including alternate versions of episodes with different actors and scenes!
