... Blackadder for the best example of this). Clearly the Kramer character (or Kessler as he first appears) was not intended to be as integral a part as he ultimately proves to be. The episodes feel a little dated, although they are more than 20 years old now.
Jerry Seinfeld was a stand up comic before this series and still is I believe, and as such it does take him a few episodes to seem natural in the roll.
Nontheless it is still enjoyable to watch, the three main characters Jerry, George, Elaine and later Kramer inte...more

What I am reviewing is the season 1 -3 set of Seinfeld. This is the region 1 version but it is identical to the region 2 version. 4.3 screen Dolby digital sound Seinfeld has been one of Americas greatest sitcoms lasting for nine seasons. This started in 1991 when a young comedian by the name of Jerry Seinfeld wanted to do more than stage performances, he decided that he wanted to branch out in TV. he contacted Larry David whom Jerry had know for years to try and get some ideas for the show. larry came up with the idea "A show about nothing" Jerry loved the idea. This did take a while to get off the ... Read the complete review

Seinfeld is an American comedy series starring comedian Jerry Seinfeld. The show is structured around Jerry giving his comedy act at a comedy club, at the beginnings, ends and sometimes middle of the episode, and then turns to him going about his daily life.

Focussing on their loves, their careers down to their arguments about food, sofas, bras and other menial things, this really is a show about nothing, and yet a show about everything. The characters are mostly relatable, particularly the pessimistic and forever down ... Read the complete review

Funny story of how I got into Seinfeld, I'd always heard it was great and I seen a deal on this Season 1-3 box set on eBay for £14. I thought it'd be worth a look so I got it. It spent 8 months on my shelf unopened. Then one day I opened it, within 5 weeks I had the first 7 seasons on DVD. To say I was hooked would be an understatement and for me, this is THEE greatest comedy ever made. Its smartly written, makes you think, reflects real life more than any other sitcom and managed to stay away from all the luvvy mushy stuff that most American sitcoms fall into. The first three seasons are a brilliant introduction into this show. It begins naturally with the pilot ... Read the complete review

I am a big fan of the Seinfeld series overall but I think these first few episodes are the weakest of the nine series that were produced. The character development as the programme progressed was no doubt influenced by audience reaction and as is often the case if a show can get past the first series it can really blossom into a great show (see Blackadder for the best example of this). Clearly the Kramer character (or Kessler as he first appears) was not intended to be as integral a part as he ultimately proves to be.
