Where's The Hype/Hysteria For Season 4 of Seinfeld?

I remember when the 1st three seasons came out, you couldnt turn around without it being advertised.

Now the best season of Seinfeld has been released and you barely hear a peep.

Kinda interesting, if you ask me.

I have seen many TV commercials and it was in the store ads and a few magazines and I think I saw some store posters advertising it.

I think the initial hype was just to get it OUT on DVD.

Now that its out, people know the seasons are coming, and tend not to get as excited as the initial time.

If you haven't bought Seasons 1-3, then it's not likely you're going to be picking up Season 4. And if you do already have 1-3, then you probably don't need an advertisement to convince you to buy 4.

I have not bought seasons 1-3 but I did consider getting season 4 because thats when the show really started getting good.

I just wish the box/design wasn't so plain and ugly.

And I wish that the giftset for S1-3 didn't look so out of place on my TV on DVD shelf.

Some of us have self-control...otherwise known as being "the master of one's own domain."

Right. Season 4 is great and I'm all over it starting tonight...but I feel no need to squeal about it all over again. At least not in public.

Despite the massive onslaught of advertising, I'm still excited about it. How odd that I didn't need advertising to be excited about this release.

plus this isn't a holiday release...companies drop big titles and spend extra cash because people who don't usually shop for dvd's are out and about.

Er, these are coming out rather fast for my pocketbook. I shouldn't complain, considering how slowly Simpsons is being released, but still...

I only care about what the content is. And in this case, it's top-notch. So it could've come in a paper bag for all I care; as long as it's a good set where it really counts.

And the lack of hype is no biggie. People who watched the show and wanted it out know this season's been released and they're gonna buy. Every other person in line at BB yesterday had this. Word of mouth and minimal advertisement is all a classic series like this needs. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Right. Season 4 is great and I'm all over it starting tonight...but I feel no need to squeal about it all over again. At least not in public.
Well, at least one of us didn't.

I hadn't seen any ads for it at all until Tuesday saying it was now available. I didn't find out until the day before when I was looking to see what was being released on Tuesday.

I put my Season 4 set inside the gift set box and there's room for at least season 5 in there as well.
