Now that the Simpsons has been immortalized on DVD, I think that Seinfeld is the next "MUST" for a DVD release. A lot of people hate the show, but I tend to think those who do just don't like to think a little when watching a comedy. They prefer the format of something like Friends that just slaps you in the face with the "joke." ANYWAY, for those of us who do love the show, just think of how great some of these DVD's can be. The first season or two aren't classic, but they would get enough lovin' from us hardcore fans who are able to find a nice amount of humor in them. Commentary tracks with directors and cast members could be just great. I'd pay an arm and a leg to hear Newman's take on some of these shows.

 

When looking at the series alone, there are simply too many classics that need that special DVD attention. I honestly don't know how so many mediocre or downright terrible shows have gotten the go for DVD, but Seinfeld is a show that needs to be on the DVD format. There are a ton more that I'd like to see on DVD, but for now, I'd never ask for another show if we got Seinfeld on DVD.

I wouldn't even care if there were no commentary tracks. Just give me the originally aired episodes (not the edited syndicated ones), and I'll be a happy man.

 

Also - Seinfeld, Cheers, Futurama (region 1 release)

I happen to like both "Friends" and "Seinfeld".

I didn't say it was impossible for someone to like both, I just think that they're two pretty different shows. Seinfeld is a more sophisticated and wittier show, while Friends is more of an obvious type of comedy show, where everything you're supposed to laugh at is sort of amplified, whereas in Seinfeld's case, you could easily miss something hilarious just because it's more subtle. I'm not saying Friends can't have it's ok moments, but it's never really struck me as anything more than mediocre.

All I ask for is boxsets for Batman: The Animated Series.

 

I'd want Angel as well, but since those are already on R2, we're sure to get 'em...sometime.

Erk.

 

Amazing Race on a DVD set would rule, but it will never happen (Survivor will get that first if it happens)

 

Family Guy and King of the Hill are locks I would think..

 

CSI is probably a lock as well, although Im guessing it will be a while.

 

Seinfeld and Married with Children should have been out by now.

 

Small Wonder, cause that show ruled!

 

Might as well release TMNT cartoon series with the new one soon to be on FOX.

I may be committing some incredible blasphemy here, but I am not as big a Seinfeld fan as I used to be. The show isn't aging well, and I'm not sure it is going to be acclaimed as highly as we initially thought in a historical context.

 

Seinfeld himself telegraphs the jokes because he can't deliver the line without looking like he's about to bust out laughing. Kind of reminds me of the actress that used to play Natalie on Facts of Life (what an awful show).

Let's just say that I never thought I would say this, but.......

 

................................Seinfeldisoverrated. THERE! I said it! I got it out. I can't believe I feel this way, but it's true, IMO. :(

 

 

I'm not sure I'll ever watch a Seinfeld rerun again so I can remember the show just as fondly as I used to.

I have the original Survivor series DVD, and it's basically the best parts of every single episode plus ghey character backgrounds. Seriously, if the Amazing Race DVD is this bad, you'll be wishing it had never come out.

I have just two:

 

South Park Seasons 2 and on [i'd like to see them continue with the new format they're going with]

The Kids in the Hall [i like the show enough that I tape the reruns that air at 2 AM on Comedy Central. I'm disappointed that they bumped the reruns from 1 PM to 2 AM. That's quite the jump.]
