Keywords: seinfeld season 5 dvd Article Body: The preeminent show of the 1990's decade, Seinfeld grew from an idea of "a show about nothing" into a sacred pop culture icon, not that there's anything wrong with that... The show follows the life of comedian Jerry Seinfeld and the exploits of his "short, quirky, bald guy" best friend, George Costanza (Jason Alexander), Jerry's neurotic neighbor Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards), and Jerry's ex-girlfriend Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Through the years, they're joined by a loveable cast of characters that includes Newman, Uncle Leo, the Soup Nazi, Frank and Estelle Costanza, the Bubble Boy, and countless others… Following on the heels of Season 4, arguably the best season ever (with famous episodes such as The Bubble Boy, The Contest, The Pick, The Junior Mint, The Handicap Spot, and The Pilot), Season 5 offers its own case for Seinfeld immortality with episodes like The Puffy Shirt (a.k.a. The Pirate Shirt), The Stall (can you spare a square?), The Marine Biologist (or is it The Architect?), The Hamptons (there was significant shrinkage!), and The Opposite (George's newfound religion)... The Seinfeld (Season 5) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "The Mango" in which Jerry discovers that Elaine "faked it" during the time they went out. Determined to redeem himself, he begs Elaine for another shot. Meanwhile, Kramer gets banned from his favorite fruit vendor when he attempts to return a bad peach… Other notable episodes from Season 5 include "The Hamptons" in which Jerry's girlfriend accidentally sees George naked following his swim in a cold pool (which caused him to shrink like "a frightened turtle"), and "The Opposite" in which George decides that every decision he's ever made in life was the wrong one, and from now on, he'll do the exact opposite of what his instincts tell him to do… Below is a list of episodes included on the Seinfeld (Season 5) DVD: Episode 65 (The Mango) Air Date: 09-16-1993 Episode 66 (The Puffy Shirt) Air Date: 09-23-1993 Episode 67 (The Glasses) Air Date: 09-30-1993 Episode 68 (The Sniffing Accountant) Air Date: 10-07-1993 Episode 69 (The Bris) Air Date: 10-14-1993 Episode 70 (The Lip Reader) Air Date: 10-28-1993 Episode 71 (The Non-Fat Yogurt) Air Date: 11-04-1993 Episode 72 (The Barber) Air Date: 11-11-1993 Episode 73 (The Masseuse) Air Date: 11-18-1993 Episode 74 (The Cigar Store Indian) Air Date: 12-09-1993 Episode 75 (The Conversion) Air Date: 12-16-1993 Episode 76 (The Stall) Air Date: 01-06-1994 Episode 77 (The Dinner Party) Air Date: 02-03-1994 Episode 78 (The Marine Biologist) Air Date: 02-10-1994 Episode 79 (The Pie) Air Date: 02-17-1994 Episode 80 (The Stand-In) Air Date: 02-24-1994 Episode 81 (The Wife) Air Date: 03-17-1994 Episode 82 (The Raincoats: Part 1) Air Date: 04-28-1994 Episode 83 (The Raincoats: Part 2) Air Date: 04-28-1994 Episode 84 (The Fire) Air Date: 05-05-1994 Episode 85 (The Hamptons) Air Date: 05-12-1994 Episode 86 (The Opposite) Air Date: 05-19-1994
