In light of Baldwin's rage during that phone tirade to his daughter some of his comments in this interview were interesting. At one point he jokingly asks to get his ex-wife's lawyer on speakerphone to fire him up to beat Shandling's ass.
I saw a clip of Shandling talking to Seinfeld on a park bench. If a lot of the bonus material is like this, I'm going to be very pleased. Different, but still very engaging.

But so far the bonus features are just terrific and the boxing thing was incredibly surreal and compelling. It didn't need to be funny.
This was worth it for the special features alone. If every tv show did this, life would be beautiful. I think they totally underestimate how interesting special features can be for their viewers and I don't want to hear about cost. It wouldn't break anyone to put really juicy special features like this on many of the tv shows that come out now with nothing or close to nothing.
I'd love to see SMG boxing Alyson Hannigan.
