With every media outlet in America waxing nostalgic about the end of new Seinfeld episodes, it was inevitable that consumers would spend the season buried in cash-in items; as it is, every newspaper and magazine article about the show seems to be padded with insufferable trivia quizzes and how-many-times-did-Kramer-do-that? charts. As far as Seinfeld cash-ins go, you could do worse than The Seinfeld Scripts, a collection of—you guessed it—Seinfeld scripts, 17 in all. From the pre-pilot "The Seinfeld Chronicles" (a so-so extended skit with Kramer named Kessler and Elaine not in the picture) through the show's first two abbreviated seasons ("The Stock Tip," "The Pony Remark," "The Chinese Restaurant," etc.), they're all there. And in general, the scripts make for pretty breezy reading: They're sharply written, of course, and they provide a pretty effective means of reliving the shows themselves. Unfortunately, however, there's no introduction or additional content to provide perspective, and that adds to The Seinfeld Scripts' tossed-off feel. But there's a bigger problem: If you like the early episodes of Seinfeld that much—and most them aren't up to the standard set in later seasons—why wouldn't you simply watch the damned things on television? If you've got the disposable income to plunk down $17.95 for a collection of scripts, you probably own a VCR. So tape the shows off syndication—they're free!—and enjoy them complete with the actors' well-documented comic timing. It'll be sort of like an audio book, but with pictures that move.
