Seinfeld a difficult series for DVD

The thing with Seinfeld is that it originally aired in 1989 as a midseason replacement. That means Season one is something like six episodes. Companies usually make a big deal about putting a series out on DVD and Seinfeld would be a huge deal if it ever came out on DVD. I can't see paying $60.00 for the few episodes in season one. I guess they could combine season 1 and 2 but that's just tacky.

I reckon two series per DVD. Either that or a buy one, get one free type thing for 1 and 2.

They would never charge that much for six episodes. I mean, they sold The Osbournes Season One for 14.99 when it came out. And that's about 10 eps or so. So, I'm sure they would go that route, if they ever did sell these on DVD.

Whatever the "Friends" DVD deal was, look for a similiar packaging & pricing.

They'd probably combine the first two seasons (a four-episode 1st season and a 13-episode second season). But, I gotta wonder: why would that be "tacky"?

What about "The Seinfeld Chronicles" pilot?

I also don't see why combining the first 2 seasons would be considered tacky.

I agree. I just bought Season's 1 and 2 of The Family Guy and couldn't be happier that I got both with one purchase.

Many shows have short first seasons, and are still sold on DVD. For example, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a popular title on DVD, and its first season only had about a dozen episodes instead of 22. See, what they do is include fewer DVD's in the package and charge less money. Crazy, huh? ;-)

maybe its delightfully tacky like Hooters

Kramer is a guinea pig or at least I have a guinea pig that I named Kramer

I don't consider Hooters to be any form of tacky. It's good wholesome family fun!

More to the point, why isn't Seinfeld out on DVD yet? I know this point has been raised thousands of times before - is it purely because of syndication?

"JLoverH" wrote in message news:[email]...

Russ Myers' family, perhaps...

Er

Not purely. It's just smart business. Make money now off of syndication. Then when that goes away, make money by releasing DVDs. Then do a reunion show. Drag it out as long as you can.

I see. But don't most series have at least some DVDs out (Frasier etc)? Are they just more likely to get money out of DVDs than sydication?

Yeah. But I'm sure they've got plenty of people weighing the pros and cons on all that, and crunching numbers, and some bigshot makes the decision based on what he thinks will make the most money. It's just how it works.
