    Early episodes had the characters finding their feet. Funny, but not to the extent that it became. Kramer's development between here and later seasons is particularly clever.

    Featuring stand up comic Jerry Seinfeld playing a less successful version of himself, Seinfeld’s five-episode first season is by far its weakest. It has it’s moments but for the most part it’s all a bit underwhelming with undefined characters and some awkward dialogue. You wouldn’t find many people banking on this show becoming the phenomenon it did after watching this...

    The weakest aspect of Seinfeld is a wacky next-door neighbor played by Michael Richards. Richards is doing little more than an impersonation of Christopher Lloyd's Jim on Taxi, and he ought to cut it out.

    Funny. The characters, even the hip comic star, become likable very quickly. Despite yourself, you'll be laughing before the first commercial. [31 May 1990, p.C11]

    It works. It's different. It's fun, offbeat and charming. [31 May 1990, p.5]
