If the Cheers DVD release is anything to go by then we could be waiting a while for Seinfeld... Time to dust off the capture card and crank up the dvd burner.

🤯 Prediction❌ Never happened
Seinfeld DVDs will not be released until after the TBS syndication contract expires around 2006 or later.
Fans discuss when Seinfeld DVDs might be released, noting that TBS's expensive syndication deal through at least 2006 may delay the home video release.

Correct - TBS just renewed for $1m per episode until 2006. So it's doubtful DVD will be coming out before then.
I thought someone posted in here that it was 2011?
- ROBUTTO may be my new favorite character. (i'm big on flat, flabby asses.) Reminds me of The Giant Cellulite Ass.
That may have been me...and the figure I saw on CNN was some $800k an episode.
Interesting thing here...TBS *paid* the $ to show the episodes...so what is stopping Castle Rock etc from making even MORE $ by pressing the DVDs ?
NOTHING, unless there i san escape clause in the contract.
They will soon realize that there is another pile of money to be made, and then we'll see our series on DVD.

What about here in Blighty where we don't care jack shit about syndication rights?
I believe we get a few series on DVD before the US (Futurama and Buffy (?))
I know - just look at Friends - all out on DVD in the UK and they can easily be played on any half decent DVD player in the world yet it doesn't stop the show being on every week in the UK and obviosuly making money from syndication.
The guys at Castle Rock are a bunch of money grabbing a-holes bleeding Seinfeld dry for all it's worth

I pasted this from a post in aus.dvd.
got an email from tvshowsondvd.com because i am signed up to receive info on some tv shows that i voted for to be released. for those who are interested in Seinfeld on DVD here is what it said. wendy --------------------------------- In the newest issue of Video Business magazine, their VidBits section contains this informaton:
Seinfeld prepping Seinfeld
The Seinfeld TV series is finally being prepared for a DVD release, according to co-creator/star Jerry Seinfeld. In the May issue of VB sister publication DVD Exclusive (formerly DVD Premiers), Seinfeld says he is helping to create interviews and commentaries and dig up the annual season-ending gag reels that could be included as extras. Seinfeld will be on The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno, On the Record With Bob Costas, and Live With Regis and Kelly May 14-19 to promote the Miramax DVD of his theatrical documentary Comedian, which he produced and loaded with extras. He said the decision and timing of the Seinfeld series on DVD is in the hands of Columbia parent Sony Pictures, which owns distribution rights. Sources at Sony and CTHE said it's not a question of if it will come out, but when.
We thank "Jough", a Senior Member of DVDTalk.com, for relaying the news. But with news this hot, we could hardly believe it. So our site's very own David Lambert personally called the editor of Video Business and verified that the news is indeed accurate...every word! The news will also appear on Video Business and/or Variety websites within the next day or two.
Rejoice! The show about "nothing" is finally almost here! --------------------------------
