“1 TV Guide ranked Seinfeld #1 on its recent list of the “50 Greatest Shows of All Time.”
Both new Seinfeld DVD volumes also include hours of fresh bonus material, supervised personally by Jerry Seinfeld and the show’s creators, that include never-before-seen deleted scenes, bloopers, interviews with the cast and creators, exclusive stand-up comedy footage, behind-the-scenes scoops, commentaries and more.
All the episodes have been digitally remastered and newly enhanced in high-definition to provide the best picture and sound quality possible, plus both Seinfeld: Season Five and Seinfeld: Season Six will include the original (1-2 minutes longer than syndicated episodes) NBC network versions, not seen since their original broadcast runs.
Still on a creative roll, Seinfeld: Season Five brought viewers some of the most memorable moments ever, including Jerry’s Today show appearance in the now infamous Puffy Shirt; George’s “shrinkage”; Jerry’s deaf date who could read lips; George’s new job with the Yankees’ George Steinbrenner and Elaine’s admission that she “faked ‘em all.” Season Five was also highlighted by Michael Richard’s second Emmy Award win for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Seinfeld: Season Six marked a major milestone for the series with its 100th episode. Seinfeld’s universe expanded to include the pesky comic Bania, Elaine’s old bosses Mr. Pitt and Mr. Peterman, the face-painting mechanic Puddy, Kramer’s Fusilli Jerry and the revelation of Kramer’s first name: Cosmo.
Throughout Season Five and Six, Seinfeld featured an amazing line up of celebrity guest stars and cameo appearances on the show including Al Roker, Jon Favreau, Courtney Cox, Jennifer Coolidge, Marlee Matlin, Jon Voight, Bette Midler, Kathie Lee Gifford, Regis Philbin, Carol Kane, Jon Lovitz, and others.
Seinfeld is produced by West-Shapiro Productions in association with Castle Rock Entertainment, a Time Warner Company. Larry David, George Shapiro and Howard West serve as executive producers of the series. Seinfeld is distributed by Sony Pictures Television.

About Seinfeld
Seinfeld moved into the top 25 in the Nielsen ratings by the end of the fourth season. The show jumped to # 3 in its fifth Season and ranked # 1 or # 2 for the next four consecutive seasons. It became the cornerstone of NBC’s “Must See TV” campaign, helping the network to record profits of nearly $1 billion in 1998 alone. It was one of very few comedy series to consistently deliver the network weekly audiences of more than 30 million. The series finale was seen by more 75 million viewers.
Seinfeld changed the landscape of TV forever, leaving the air in 1998 as the number one Nielsen-rated show in both comedy and drama. Nominated for an incredible 68 Emmy Awards®, Seinfeld won a total of 10, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. In 2002, TV Guide magazine ranked the comedy #1 on its list of the “50 Greatest Shows of All Time.”
Seinfeld, which aired on NBC for nine years, focuses on four single friends living in New York. At the core of the group is Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), a stand-up comedian whose professional path includes a shot at creating a network sitcom, a guest spot on the “Today” show, a wealth of other experiences gone awry and a personal life rife with an endless parade of never-quite-right girlfriends. His childhood best friend, George Costanza (Jason Alexander), could be deemed the quintessential loser: he can never hold on to a job or a girlfriend … although he has more than enough schemes for trying to make both happen. Jerry’s ex, Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), offers her own string of bad dates and worrisome workplace sagas. And lastly, there’s curiously-coiffed Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards), Jerry’s over-the-top, offbeat and often mysterious neighbor, with no visible means of support and an uncanny knack for opening doors to opportunities he has no business being near.
