"Seinfeld" finally coming to DVD

By Charley May 14, 2004 3:47 PM

The rumors are true: ?Jerry Seinfeld announced the release of the "Seinfeld Season 1" DVD during an interview with Jay Leno this week.



The "Seinfeld" DVD rumors have been widespread since the show did its last episode in 1998. ?During his stand up tours, Seinfeld consistently cited financial reasons for not releasing the series on DVD. ?During his last tour, however, fans began to come home from his shows saying that he had hinted at a "Seinfeld" DVD in development. ?



The first box set, which was delayed due to a dispute over money between the show's four stars, will be released in November of 2004. ?Just in time for you to give it to me for Christmas.

Jerry Seinfeld and Michael Richards were both on board to do a comentary track for the DVD, but Julia Louis Dreyfuss and Jason Alexander held out for a larger cut of the profits and an increase in the apparently miniscule fees they were offered to do the commentary work.

I'd hold out too. Getting work these days is hard.

South America is full of lazy, filthy, uneducated, dorks.

Finally, I have only been waiting years for the Seinfeld DVD to come out.  I mean "Friends" just ended and all the seasons are almost out on dvd.  The Seinfeld DVD's better have commentary on each episoade and alot of extra stuff because we had to wait so long.

So sad...   reply

If the network can't get their act together, fans are going to use illegal means to obtain the programs in some format.  Right now one can buy illegal bootleg copies of the entire season at http://www.zoopc.com/sein/,  for example.
