What's the deal with these DVDs?

Hands down the longest awaited TV series DVD boxset since "The Simpsons," fans of "Seinfeld" will finally be able to get their fix. If by some chance you spent over the last decade hidden in a cave without television access, "Seinfeld" was the widely popular and successful TV comedy which, along with "Friends," helped turn NBC into a programming powerhouse. The show told the story of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, along with his friends George, Elaine and Kramer, and their daily exploits.\nThe show's success was surprising considering the fact that co-creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David felt a show about nothing would fail in no time. After a mere four episodes, NBC demanded Larry David write up an additional 22 episodes and from there it was all golden. Who would've expected topics such as laughing at a Pez dispenser, waiting in a Chinese restaurant or countless random conversations at Monk's Diner would be so defining of '90s television comedy? \nWhile most DVD boxsets for TV shows tend to be lacking in the extras department, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David went out of their way to make sure the DVDs live up to the show's legacy. Spanning a massive eight discs, the set includes all 41 episodes from the first three seasons, including the pilot episode now remastered in high definition; commentary with the entire cast and creators; interviews; deleted scenes; bloopers; exclusive never-before-seen Jerry Seinfeld stand-up footage; promo trailers; an hour-long documentary on how the show was created; trivia games; footage from "The Tonight Show" and finally, a special featurette comparing Cosmo Kramer to the real Kenny Kramer who inspired the character. Oh, and if all that isn't enough, the boxset/gift set version also comes with exclusive playing cards, a limited-edition original script from Larry David and salt and pepper shakers from Monk's Diner. \nWith "Seinfeld" finally released on DVD, fans of the series will no longer have to worry about catching reruns on television hoping to see their favorite episode. Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David knew fans wouldn't be satisfied with the release of just the first season which is why they released the first three seasons all at once. It's only a matter of time until later seasons hit the shelves and we can enjoy such classic episodes as the Frogger arcade machine, the bubble boy and everyone's favorite, "Soup Nazi"
