Rating:  - perhaps Seinfeld's most underrated season
Although season 6 was the year that finally made Seinfeld #1, I think all in all, this season seems to be forgotten when referencing Seinfeld's great seasons (which IMO, seasons 3-7 all were, 1-2 and 8-9 were decent still though).
While there is nothing this season as famous as The Contest or The Puffy Shirt, there is still much to love. Among the great episodes this season include The Jimmy (I dare you NOT to laugh when Kramer, numb from the dentist, was mistaken as a mentally challenged person), The Fusilli Jerry (where we first meet Patrick Warburton as David Puddy), The Pledge Drive (who doesn't remember the snickers bar?), The Switch (where we learn Kramer's first name, Cosmo), The Race ("I choose not to run"), The Big Salad and The Diplomat's Club.
This is certainly a great year of Seinfeld and personally I'd rank it slightly ahead season five.
Rating: - hidden features
If you buy seinfeld season 6 on dvd,there are hidden special features on each disk, but they are under a minute.
Rating: - particular episodes.
i have all the seasons of this show which have currently been released, but i recall seeing 2 particular episodes on tv in which george gets married but his wife dies from licking 'cheap' invitation envelopes which he bought, and also another when george dates marisa tomei, which season is these episodes from??? as these were 2 of my favourites.
Rating: - My Favorite Season of my Favorite Sitcom!
You really can't go wrong with the motherlode of extras you get with each & every one of Seinfeld's season sets. Hell I have to be honest and admit I'd probably buy the sets without the extras because I love the show so much but I think Seinfeld & David are doing right by their fans. My favorites are always the bloopers. I laugh watching them almost as much as I laughed during the episodes' original run.
I agree with another poster that this is consistently the most enjoyable season of Seinfeld. I cannot believe another poster feels the 5th season is superior when it was the 5th that foisted 3 of the worst-ever Seinfeld episodes on us fans(The Bris, The Barber and The Sniffing Accountant are clearly at the bottom rung of the ladder when it comes to quality Sein episodes). As opposed to Season 6, where I can watch each & every episode over & over. I realize there are many who will argue that the 4th & 7th seasons were better. But when you look at all of this seasons episodes collectively there is hardly a clunker in the bunch. Imo, this is the season Julia Louis-Dreyfus really came into her own as Elaine. After the brilliant season 5 ending episode "The Opposite", she is forced to work as lowly assistant to elderly millionaire Justin Pitt (brilliantly played by Ian Abercrombie) and will also meet the person who will become her on-again off-again romance for the rest of the series and that is David Puddy, also brilliantly played by Patrick Warburton. Btw, I'm not sure why so many trash Warburton. The Puddy-Elaine saga made me laugh almost more than any other plot line in the last several seasons. This was also the season that saw George's involvement with The New York Yankees as the assistant to the traveling secretary. Yet another minefield of brilliant comedy. "The Calzone" is another favorite season 6 episode of mine and I just loved David doing Stein's voice in that one. Season 6 also contains an episode that would probably make many "true" Seinfeld fans top ten of all time list and that is "The Jimmy". Kramer is simply hysterical in that one. Lastly, season 6 contains what is one of my favorite visual moments in the show ever and that is in the episode "The Race" as Jerry crosses the finish line and Elaine runs over to congratulate him, Jerry knocks her out of the way so he can hug his girlfriend. I don't know why, but that scene never fails to double me over with laughter. Overall, I wish the creators of other television shows would look at what Seinfeld-David & The Simpsons gang have done with their product. They're miles ahead of the competition.
Rating: - Friggin Hilarious!
Season six marks the shows transition from hillarious to friggin hilarious. These episodes are all classics. I don't even want to list them becuase I know I'll leave some out. Take my word for it. If you are s fan of Seinfeld, buy these DVDs! The "Inside Looks" on most of the episodes are great. Each set comes with it's own full-length (well....kinda full length) documentary about some aspect of the show. Not to mention, comercial free Seinfeld is sublime. If you're not aqcuianted with the show, watch a few episodes on TBS. Who knows, you might just become a fan. For me, there is nothing like first popping in each disc to watch the episodes for the first time on DVD. As Jerry says when he sees George's handicapped bathroom, "Xanadu!"
