SEINFELD BLOG

All four made the show and all four should have a part of the profit. Without those four we would have never watched.

Looks like Kramer has changed his mind. One down, two to go.

I continue to watch the show religiously... every night before I go to bed I throw 3-4 episodes on Windows Media Player and just relax. It took me a while to get all the episodes and I am happy with what I have, but of course the DVD would be a dream...
However I must agree with the co-stars on this issue. I dont think it's a matter of money rather than a matter of corporate America trying to screw everyone the best they can. I dont think any of them really need the money, but they MUST get paid. It's true, without them there is no show. It's only fair that they share the profits from the DVD. Frankly, I'd rather stick with my low rez downloaded copies and not buy the DVD if they don't get to share the profits. There is no way I'm giving Time Warner any of my money if I don't know it isn't going to be shared with the people who TRULY deserve it.

I would love to see some outakes, but I just WANT that DVD set, and I hope it dosen't take them 9 years as they do on set per year.

I agree they should all get a small piece of the action. With George and Elane there is no Seinfeld.

I don't care abut the interviews. But I'm also agreeing with the 3 actors actually. They are as much start of the show, it's actually showing disrespect to them from the filling-their-pockets-with-money-guys. So is Jerry all about money too?

Jerry already got PAID... lol... he probably doesn't care so much about the money that would come from dvds.

I'm not saying I'm upset with Jerry or anything, but I think its wrong of him to not share the profits or come up with some system where they divided the earnings. I know you never want to give up money but when you have as much as him giving up some of his share to get elaine and george would be nice. I do feel that he probably has a big ego and that he doesnt understand how important all of them(not just him) were key to the show's success and his personal success. you look at the cast of friends who alwys goes into contract negotiations as a team, or recently, ray romano giving up some salary to keep his costars, and you wonder why jerry seinfeld doesnt it the same way. The dvd will be awesome either but i think it does tarnish it slightly.

Does anyone know if there is a chance george and elaine can change their mind or it can turn around. I think the article said jerry would talk to them sometimes after the new year. well, its february.

Its great to hear that they are making DVD's finally of the best tv show ever, Seinfeld! Although, it is a shame that the other 3 main characters of the show decided not to participate. I totally understand though. They put 9 hard years into that show to make it what it was, and these corporate yahoo's decide that they dont deserve a piece of the action? If it wasnt for them, there would be no action! Julia, Jason, and Micheal all deserve there well earned $$. I just hope that by Dec some understanding is worked out, because that DVD set just wont be the same without them.

I heard that they're all participating now after Jerry talked them into it.

Even though I have taped each and every episode, including the Puerto Rican Day!!!! (With all the crap they show on TV, someone cries, and THAT gets yanked off - gimme a BREAK) I would absolutely love to get my hands on a collection of out-takes! When I see those bloopers on the last recaps, I laugh so hard I fall! If the other cast members won't lend their support to the DVD collection, they should fill in the blanks with a few of those gems cut out in editing. My fave is the one where Jerry keeps losing it during Kramer's smoker's lounge aftermath, with the resulting brown teeth and "leatherface"!! Look away - I'm hideous!

I have to admit, I am very excited to finally KNOW I can have Seinfeld on DVD at my command within the next year! And as for the actors not participating I heard Michael Richards(Kramer) will - I have always wondered what Kramer was like in real life and that about summed it up for me. As for Jason Alexander (George) and Julia Louis-Dreyfeus (Elain) I'm sure Jerry will cut a deal with them and talk them into comming in on it.

Well enough from me....CAN'T WAIT 4 SEINFELD ON DVD AT MY COMMAND!!!!

You might be disappointed, Michael Richards is nothing like Kramer in real live, on the other hand it shows how good Michael is as an actor

You guys who think the the actors should all get paid the same as Seinfeld are fooling yourselves.

The show was based on Jerry's comdey that took years to develop and helped write most of them. Then he put the time in to do the acting.

I do a little stand-up myself, and am in the process of writing my first pilot, and let me tell you it's not easy. (As was pointed out in season 4 : The Pilot 1, 2)

The show worked becuase of the hard work of Jerry, the others contributed as well but in a very limited capacity.

Jerry was the one who put the other three on the map, so he should be getting paid the most.
