 The last hurrah for a TV classic August 19, 2007

Season 9 of Seinfeld marks the end of a sublime era in television, with the final season of a show that ignored convention and remained a truly individual comedy series until the end. Despite the loss of head writer Larry David at the end of season 7, the show is still consistently hilarious, and some of the outstanding episodes include "The Serenity Now"; "The Strike" (in which the legendary tradition of 'Festivus' first appears); "The Bookstore"; and my personal favourite, "The Betrayal", in which the events of the episode take place in reverse (meaning that the end credits appear at the start, and so on). Some of the content, such as Kramer turning his apartment into a shrine to "The Merv Griffin Show", is totally bizarre (a theme which characterises some of the later episodes in the show's run), but it never feels forced or unfunny. There are welcome swansong appearances by lots of the characters who have appeared in the show over the years, with many fan favourites, including Bubble Boy and Soup Nazi, appearing in the concluding two-parter, "The Finale" (for which Larry David returns as writer). The final story has been both praised and criticised in equal measure, as, in typical Seinfeld manner, it does the unexpected. Personally I think it is a great ending, and shows the same audacity for which the show earned its reputation, but you'll need to buy the DVD to decide if you agree or disagree with my assertion!
Season 9 of Seinfeld consists of 24 episodes:
1. The Buttter Shave
2. The Voice
3. The Serenity Now
4. The Blood
5. The Junk Mail
6. The Merv Griffin Show
7. The Slicer
8. The Betrayal
9. The Apology
10. The Strike
11. The Dealership
12. The Reverse Peephole
13. The Cartoon
14. The Strongbox
15. The Wizard
16. The Burning
17. The Bookstore
18. The Frogger
19. The Maid
20. The Puerto Rican Day
21. The Clip Show (pt.1)
22. The Clip Show (pt.2)
23. The Finale (pt.1)
24. The Finale (pt.2)
As is tradition, the season 9 DVD will contain 'Yada Yada' cast and crew commentaries; 'Notes About Nothing'; deleted scenes and bloopers; and 'Inside Looks' escribing the history behind selected episodes. Other features are yet to be confirmed, but hopefully we will see some content relating to the show's finale, such as news reports and trailers. Seinfeld Season 9 is a must have DVD...not that there's anything wrong with that!
The best US comedy ever! November 18, 2007

Has the US EVER produced a better comedy than this? Possibly CHEERS in its hey-day came close, SEINFELD, despite running for 9 seasons never really lost its touch, whereas i felt later episodes of CHEERS did. A comedy classic, JERRY SEINFELD quit while it was still fresh and kudos to him for doing so. Please, please buy all the seasons! No matter how many times you watch them they never become unfunny!

This final series of Seinfeld is produced in the same way as the previous eight series. Beside "Notes about nothing" on the episodes, there are the inside looks when members of the cast, the writers and producers explain some of the background to the episode. There are also deleted scenes, bloopers and some sein-imation. The other bonus features are a featurette on the final programme as well as a round-table discusion between the cast and Larry David. There is an easter egg on the fourth disk but this is just some seinimation.
The series may not have had the stand out episodes of earlier series, but its still great after all these years. The additional treatment in terms of the introduction to the episodes makes the DVD well worth buying - especially if your introduction to Seinfeld has been reruns.
It doesn't get any better than this November 28, 2007

The greatest sitcom ever to grace the TV screen. There'll never be another show this good. Jerry, Kramer, George and Elaine - each character is a brilliant comedy creation on it's own, but teamed together, they're comedy heaven.
And the supporting characters were all so cleverly cast. George's parents, Newman, Puddy, J Peterman, Mr Steinbrenner - all cult characters in their own right.
The show never got stale and even now looks as fresh as it did when it first went out because it's just sheer class.
Genius. Nothing will ever get close.

Seinfeld remains the most popular US sitcom of the 90s but the last season was a disappointment when you compare it with the earlier ones. Looking back, it should have ended at the end of season 7 or 8, on a real high. Instead what we had was a significant drop in the level of humour, almost transforming it into another show. This was obviously due to Jerry Seinfeld wanting to leave his Abbott & Costello-like stamp on the show.
There were some very good episodes such as The Voice, The Slicer, and The Merv Griffin Show but there were also some bad ones especially The Maid, The Puerto Rican Day and The Finale. The Elaine Benes/David Puddy on-off story arc also became rather stale; in fact you often wished Elaine wasn't in many of the episodes. The ratings were still high but the ideas were definitely running out, so it was a good job they ended it.
