Seinfeld on DVD
For the first time ever, this isn't a speculative thread!
In this week's Video Business magazine: VIDBITS Seinfeld prepping Seinfeld The Seinfeld TV series is finally being prepared for a DVD release, according to co-creator/star Jerry Seinfeld. In the May issue of VB sister publication DVD Exclusive (formerly DVD Premiers), Seinfeld says he is helping to create interviews and commentaries and dig up the annual season-ending gag reels that could be included as extras. Seinfeld will be on The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno, On the Record With Bob Costas, and Live With Regis and Kelly May 14-19 to promote the Miramax DVD of his theatrical documentary Comedian, which he produced and loaded with extras. He said the decision and timing of the Seinfeld series on DVD is in the hands of Columbia parent Sony Pictures, which owns distribution rights. Sources at Sony and CTHE said it's not a question of if it will come out, but when. -- Jough |
Awesome. The 1st season was really short so hopefully the first set will be Seasons 1-2, or 1-3.
The show didn't really get "funny" till around Season 3. |
This could get expensive.....
|
:up:
Excellent news! |
[Seinfeld thread auto-response]Damn newbies gotta run a search and use question marks...
;) ;) ;) Thanks for the info, jough! Great news! If the price is right, I'll buy. It's a fantastic show, one of the funniest. But it's ubiquitous on late night TV, and there are a few other shows slated for the rest of the year that aren't rerun on as much or at convenient times. Still, good to hear that it IS coming and with supplements too. :cool: |
You know, it just hit me:
Seinfeld says he is helping to create interviews and commentaries Oh, sweet fancy Moses! Seinfeld commentaries. Perhaps for each episode? Oh, happy happy day! :up: :up: :up: -- Jough |

The question now is how fast they'll release this, whether it'll be seasons at a time (it probably will be) and how much in the way of extras will be available. If the sets are anything like the recent Star Trek releases, that'd be fine by me. I'd buy every season of Seinfeld. -- Jough |
:thumbsup:
Can't wait. |

ARRRRRR
|
more importantly that price is how long between seasons. if its gunna be a simpsons sort of deal, i wont buy. im not waiting a year between seasons (its the main reason i havent bought simpsons season sets), because i have a collectors mentality.
but i want this tv series on dvd more than any other show (cept perfect strangers which will never released i bet). the extras sound great. |
I can see it now...
Columbia Tristar Home Video announced today the long-awaited arrival of Seinfeld on DVD. Available exclusively in this DVD compilation, Seinfeld: The Best Of will feature the ten best episodes as voted by the readers of 'Martha Stuart Living' magazine. Retailing for an estimated $59.95, the DVD will include... |
It's coming.... It's coming....
LOL Cosmic Bus! I would seriously consider killing myself if they did. I cant believe the news is here. Jerry Commentaries......awe yea.... Hopefully he'll/they'll work hard to release these things quickly. I've been waiting so long!
|
lol cosmic! but man is that scary to think about!
|
Great News! I think I just wet myself!

Originally posted by White Knight How many seasons are we looking at here? There are 9 seasons of seinfeld but the first 2 are rather short |
my guess this is priced in the same ballpark as the friends sets.
|
I think I just plotzed.

holy mother of god this is great...i will buy this despite how high price is of course im hoping for a low price 30 maybe....
|
Just thought this was another weekly Seinfeld gag. :lol: Great to see something of actual news regarding the series finally. I can't wait.
|
I don't collect t.v. seasons box sets that much (I have all the x files, csi season 1, all the sex & city, and six feet under- that's it)
But I will be collecting all the seinfelds. The summer of george is coming! |
fantastic!

When I saw this thread yesterday, I didn't read it because I thought it was another one of those "When's Seinfeld coming to DVD?" threads. Then I saw the story at Davis DVD this morning.
This is very good news. Hopefully these won't be on a release schedule like The Simpsons. Commentaries will be nice, but they're not necessary on every episode. |
I read somewhere that TBS, or TNT (cant remember which) had paid some insane amount of money for Seinfeld until 2006 or whatever-(it was for a long time) so a DVD release would be out of the question since they paid so much for the rights and a DVD release would eat into their profits.

I declare today a holiday in honor of this announcement.
Happy Festivus everyone. Festivus for the rest of us!!! |
NEED DVD-ROM FEATURE!
Please god, no SHRINKAGE!!! Hopefully, they'll include seasons 1 and 2 together.
But what I NEED is a text based script viewer that is searchable by keyword. And a cumulate index with each seasons set. Wouldn't you love to find where and when certain words/phrases first appeared? Am I asking too much? I'm a VERY BAD MAN! |
Here's some more from DavisDVD.com....
http://www.davisdvd.com/News/daily_news.htm although it's not much |
Will there be a coffee table version?
Of course, since there is a trickle of information of an actual release, this may cause a new rush of newbies posting a question for a definite date. Mods, you may want to make this one a sticky so it's always posted where newbies can see it. |
I can't believe what I'm reading. By the way, these pretzels...they're making me thirsty.
|
Great and unexpected news!

Originally posted by Drexl Me too. I decided to check it out when I saw there were 27 responses and it hadn't been locked yet. |
DavisDVD saying maybe late this year.
I find that ridiculously optimistic. Extras are looking nice, and the commentaries aren't necessary for each episode (although it appears most of the cast certainly has the time). |
Oh, and...
GGGGIDDYUP!!!! |
