I went to a flea market in NYC today and found somebody selling videotapes of various shapes, sizes, and flavors. I happened upon a "Seinfeld" bloopers tape selling for $10, so I bought it. A few little factoids:
The material is comprised of three almost-thirty-minute 'episodes'...so let's say there's 90 minutes of footage.
Half of this footage is scenes from episodes-as-aired. The bloopers have the timecode on the screen. Sometimes the bloopers are cut into the episodes-as-aired.
A hearty parcel of the blooper footage is Jerry doing the stand-up material. In fact, the videotape starts with him onstage riffing about the TV-viewing public watching him and the gang for thirty minutes each week. I dunno if this is from a special or something, but I'd never seen it before.
But some serious production quality went into this compilation. Hell, there's even some montages with music.
Overall, there's a few gut-busters...and, sure, it was worth $10...but not a penny more. I would've liked more bloopers.
So, is this the tape that someone keeps hawking 'round here for $25?
