Rating:  - Best extras, good season if not the best
By the 8th season Seinfield had become very inconsistent. Still there are enough storylines and jokes packed into every episode to make it worthwhile. Anod on the dvds you can always fast forward to the scenes you like. I think there is a lot of repeat viewing potential on this dvd.
Rating:  - Season 8 - Is Great
Somehow, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld have been able to keep fresh ideas coming along to keep this talented cast busy for years. Can anyone claim that one season is better than another? There are a few classic shows that will remain in our culture for decades, and I'm sure that many of those can be found in this 8th year offering. This show remains great after all this time.
Rating: - Favorite season yet...
With every season's release, I eagerly awaited Season Eight for this simple reason: in my mind it stood out as the funniest, wackiest and most memorable of all. Aside from pure hilarity in his delivery, Seinfeld had the incredible ability to make simple thoughts and actions seem funny; things that might occur to you in your daily life, like The Muffin Top idea, was turned into a non-stop joke. Larry David's departure didn't impact the show adversely and the ensemble cast, one of the finest in television history, continue to work seamlessly together to deliver scene upon scene of laughter. Through the nearly 10 years that Seinfeld has been off the air, I continue to hear every day references in conversation to his classic lines, i.e., Not That There's Anything Wrong With That, Yada Yada, I'm a Day Person..... and the list goes on and on. Add this to your collection or you will be missing possibly the best of them!
Rating:  - They Lost The Edge
Season 8 definately is a change, and not necessarily for the better. The departure of Larry David is very evident. The series now has the feel of bad vaudeville. I wish I had rented instead of buying.
Rating: - Zany, but essential for fans
Classic Seinfeld is best demonstrated in the middle seasons, but the series ends better than it started. The story lines start getting a bit crazy without the guidance of Larry David, but there are still many memorable episodes: The Yadda Yadda, The Little Kicks and The Bizarro Jerry all stick out in my mind. Those are actually some of the most remembered episodes ever, up there with the Soup Nazi and The Contest.
As always, I found the commentaries interesting. More so when they are from a writer or director (the actors typically don't know much more than the viewer).
