DVD Review ( Seinfeld: Volume 1 )

This is a great set. Well over an hour of "The Making Of Seinfeld", commentary on episodes, and on some episodes an introduction on how the episode was made and what happened in the filming of it. This is definitely a must buy for a fan of the show. I just started watching this show, and I must say I'm pleasently suprised.

4.5/5
