It's long been at the top of TV shows most requested on disc, now it's a reality. Seinfeld is coming to DVD.
We first reported on this story in Dec. 2003, and now it's official. Seinfeld: Seasons 1 and 2 as well as Seinfeld: Season 3 will both be released simultaneously on Nov. 23. Each is a four-disc set.
The first release has all 18 episodes from the first two seasons plus two versions of the pilot episode. The second set has the 22 episodes from year two. Plus, you can see them bigger and better than ever -- the episodes in both packages have been remastered in high definition for the best picture and sound.
Each set will carry a suggested retail price of $49.95. There will also be a spectacularly named Seinfeld Re-Gift Set that combines all three seasons together and adds a copy of an original script, Monk's salt and pepper shakers and playing cards. This deluxe set lists at $119.95.
Here's a breakdown of the special features contained on each of the releases: Seinfeld - First and Second Seasons (4 discs) - DVD - Approximately 13 hours of exclusive special features from the creative talents behind the show, including all-new interviews with Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards, Jason Alexander and more! - HOW IT BEGAN: An hour-long look at how Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David first came up with the idea for the show, how it almost didn't get made and how they emerged with the show that changed the face of television forever. - NOTES ABOUT NOTHING: Behind-the-scenes scoop and production notes. - INSIDE LOOK: The cast and creators talk about what was happening behind the scenes of certain episodes. - IN THE VAULT: Saved from the cutting room floor...
