Everyone's favorite show about nothing will be making its hotly anticipated debut on DVD just in time for Festivus on Nov. 23, Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment announced Friday.

The Seinfeld package will feature the first three seasons of the Emmy-winning series in two four-disc volumes. The first set will contain two versions of the original 1989 pilot (the alternate was called The Seinfeld Chronicles) along with all 18 episodes of seasons one and two; the second set will include all 22 episodes of season three. All the shows will be presented in high definition.

Each volume will retail for $50. Columbia will also package both sets together in a $120 deluxe gift package that will also include collectible playing cards, Monk's Diner salt and pepper shakers, and a limited-edition script with handwritten notes from cocreator Larry David, who's since taken his sardonic brand of humor to HBO as mastermind of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

For a show famously about nothing, there's plenty of extras. There will be a whopping 24 hours worth of bonus material, from never-before-seen outtakes and bloopers to deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes scoops, episode trivia, unused footage of Seinfeld's stand-up routines and interviews and commentaries from cast members Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards, Jason Alexander (news) along with David.
