Seinfeld - Season 5
The fifth season of Seinfeld is without a doubt the series' best. By their fifth year, the Seinfeld gang had ironed out the bumps from the first two seasons, further developing characters. The loyal fan base that had been accumulating over the years was now more or less the entire nation's viewing audience. The pressure was on to give this new, mega fan base a high dose of their unique, misanthropic comedy, and Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Kramer (Michael Richards) delivered in spades. Yes, other seasons may have funnier individual episodes, but as a whole season five consistently delivers the goods, including many of the show's all-time classic episodes. In the season opener, Jerry discovers the secret, sexual power of "The Mango." While vacationing in "The Hamptons" we not only learn that George's date likes to sunbathe topless in front of his friends, but also that cold water has the power to shrink. In "The Stall' Elaine is rejected while trying to share toilet paper only to learn that the selfish neighbor is Jerry's girlfriend. In order to really make a life change, George decides to do "The Opposite" of all his instincts and surprisingly everything in his life falls perfectly into place. And of course, who can forget the ridiculous puffy shirt Kramer's low-talking girlfriend talks Jerry into wearing on The Today Show. This box set also includes the featurette "Jason+Larry=George" explaining how Jason Alexander embodied Larry David's alter ego to create George Costanza, plus deleted and behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive stand up footage of Jerry Seinfeld. Seinfeld - Season 6
By Season Six, the Seinfeld crew had their formula and character development down pat making it easy to churn out one classic episode after another. Not only do we learn a lot about Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer in Season Six, but we also learn wealth of life lessons. For instance, just because you wear a toupee doesn't mean you won't be rejected by bald women ("The Beard"). If you think everyone is giving you the finger, they probably are ("The Pledge Drive"). As ridicurous as is sounds, just because a woman has a Chinese name doesn't make her Chinese ("The Chinese Woman"). Eating out of trash is AOK, as long as your girlfriend's mother doesn't catch you ("The Gymnast"). If you try to make the "switch" and date your girlfriend's room mate, you just may get more than you bargained for ("The Switch"). If someone offers you an Armani suit in exchange for a meal, make sure you tell them that soup is indeed a meal ("The Soup"). Just because you are a "beard," doesn't mean you are dating ("The Beard"). Bringing crib notes in the bedroom may not be the best idea ("The Fusilli Jerry"). And just because Mel Torme sings to you, doesn't make you "special" ("The Jimmy"). We also learn phrases such as "re-gifting," and are introduced to new characters like Elaine's new boss J. Peterman (John O'Hurley) and boyfriend, and face painter, David Puddy (Patrick Warburton). In addition to being able to watch these original network versions (1-2 minutes longer then on syndication) and cast member commentaries, this set includes three of Eric Yahnker "Sein-Imation" - classic Seinfeld scenes reimagined in animation. --Rob Bracco

 a Classic! March 13, 2007
The_midnight (Texas)
I love the puffy shirt! These seasons were some of the best. I bought this as a gift for a family member, but I love to borrow it and watch these classic episodes. I was a fan by season 3, but Season 6 is my favorite, I never missed it by that point

This is a definite improvement on the first seinfeld gift set (seasons 1-3) - the puffy shirt is encased in its own mini plexiglass case. About the same amount of episodes with bloopers, deleted scenes, etc, no skimping there. Overall a great DVD set!
Awesome ! March 15, 2006

No need to explain the episodes here for you, because you can read the descriptions. These seasons contain some of my personal favorites including "The Non-Fat Yogurt", "The Marine Biologist", and "The Big Salad".
In terms of the extras of this package, we're talking about the puffy shirt and the notebook.
The puffy shirt is actually not as cheesy as I thought. It comes in a clear plastic box that's the same size as one of the season box sets. It includes a small print of Kramer and Jerry in the dressing room of the "Today" show. On the back, it has a brief description of donating the Puffy Shirt to "the museum", however it doesn't state that it was the National Museum of American History, a part of the Smithsonian Institution. I don't understand why this isn't explained.
The notepad is also about the size of a DVD box (a little thinner) and has some funny handwritten notes. How authentic it is? (i.e. is this really a copy of the legal pad Jerry used to write this episode?) Who knows? But it's a fun read, especially for a Seinfeld fan who loves to know the backstory on some of their favorite episodes.
Overall, a pretty good buy for the Seinfeld fan in your life.
