After seven seasons of groundbreaking comedy, what could possibly be left to accomplish in season 8 for Seinfeld and company, especially in this, the first season without co-creator Larry David at the helm? Plenty, as it turns out. This is the season that gave us some of the most memorable episodes in the entire series, including "The Muffin Tops," "The Bizarro Jerry," and "The Yada Yada," the episode that proved you can "yada yada" anything in life. Fortunately by this point in the series, the comic formula that sustained the show throughout its run had not yet begun to get tired, and the writers proved that they could continue to pull a whole lot of something out of the show about nothing. Case in point: "The English Patient," where they created an entire story line out of Elaine's hatred for the award-winning film. In "The Chicken Roaster," one of Seinfeld's most underappreciated episodes, Kramer switches apartments with Jerry and wages a one-man crusade against a Kenny Rogers' Roasters, only to becomes like Jerry and become undone by Newman. George continues to, well, be George. He habitually shoots himself in the foot as he continues life without Susan, only to find out marrying her would have made him rich ("The Foundation"). And Elaine gets her kicks, literally, horrifying her co-workers with her terrible dancing, spinning moves so bad they've actually become one of the show's most popular punch lines (go on any dance floor and you'll see someone doing "The Elaine" as a joke, it seems). Season 8 also continues the Seinfeld tradition of loading up the DVD sets with plenty of special features, including an illuminating documentary detailing how Jerry juggled his act as star and show-runner after Larry David's departure, and all new interviews with the cast. All in all, it's good stuff for fans, and there's plenty here for the casual viewer to enjoy as well. --Daniel Vancini

 Simply the Best November 30, 2008
Paul T. Wesley (Fremont,CA USA)
I have seen a lot of situational comedies over my 50 years of watching television. Seinfeld is simply the best and is the only series I have ever purchased.
 starting to get a little tired October 28, 2008

At their worst, the Seinfeld team is still tops in TV history, but this season is not their best. The death of George's fiancee started a trend of really black humor that is often in rather bad taste. But every episode remains worth watching.
 the picture movement in this dvd is broken October 3, 2008
Yoav Fain (ISRAEL)
unlike all the other seasons thet i bought,when i play this dvd the picture doesnt move clear it moves really in broken way disturbing to the eyes and driving them crazy- this is why i gave only 3 stars.
the 3 stars are for this great season which seinfeld isnt complete without it since every season in seinfeld has a background plot(the show isnt exactly about nothing)-this seaon is about past suzanne ross death and the foundation that created for her and george was involved in it.in seaon 5 george doesnt have a job all the season and in season 6 elain doesnt have job. unlike other seasons this season is much more slow and serious and u can feel the show grown up and that the characters are well developed.
awesome September 16, 2008
T. Leng (Singapore)
It's entertaining and worth buying and keeping it for the rest of your life. You will want to watch it over and over again.
Seinfeld series September 2, 2008
Book Lover (Humboldt County, CA)
Never tiring of watching re-runs of Seinfeld on TV, being able to have all the episodes on DVD is a privilege. I am glad that I did not buy a bootleg version several years ago, and now have the entire series, with extra material including the artwork.
