Seinfeld - Vol 3: Season 4 has today been officially, formally announced by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment...and most of you probably know everything you want to know about it by now, right? Wow, so much info has leaked out, there might not be any surprises left for eager fans. Still, we'll try to bring it all together into one place for you! First, a new 3-D look at the box, followed by the studio's description of the release:
The show about nothing is finally a DVD about something! Packed with all-new special features created in partnership with Jerry Seinfeld, this four-disc set includes all 24 episodes from the seminal, critically-acclaimed fourth season. Witness the now-infamous "Pitch" to NBC, the assault on the "The Bubble Boy," the "The Contest" to end all contests, and "The Junior Mint." Can there possibly be better TV than this? Go behind the scenes with interviews from Jerry, the creators and NBC executives as well as bloopers and deleted scenes. Plus, test your "Seinfeld" knowledge with "Notes about Nothing," see unused stand-up material, listen to commentaries by Seinfeld and Larry David, yada, yada, yada.
As we've already told you,
May 17th is the release date, and you can already place pre-orders at many online e-tailers (to use links to place your order that will help support TVShowsOnDVD, please check
our release listing). One of them, as we reported previously, had posted a wrong list price, showing it to be too low. They've now corrected it to the proper $49.95 SRP (in the USA, that is...in Canada the list price is CAN$64.95).
Of course the video is in the original 1.33:1 Full Screen. Soundtrack is in English (Stereo), French, and Spanish. Subtitles are also present in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, plus the episodes are Closed Captioned for the hearing impaired. Running time is 552 minutes for 24 episodes on 4 DVDs.
As always, the extras are quite extensive!
