Seinfeld is not only one of the greatest TV shows of all time (#6, if you ask us), but it’s also one of the most quotable — the kind of media in the rarefied air of people quoting it without even realizing it. Seinfeld’s iconic catchphrases and lines also make it endlessly rewatchable, but it has never been released on Blu-Ray in the 26 years since the show went off the air. To coincide with the show’s 35th anniversary, Seinfeld got its first-ever 4K and Blu-Ray release. Available today, it’s the ideal gift for Christmas, Hannukah, and of course, Festivus.

The Blu-Ray release of Seinfeld: The Complete Series was announced in October, and it’s available in two formats: a Blu-Ray edition and a 4K Ultra HD Edition. Both editions comprise 24 discs, so you’ll want to make room on your bookshelf. In addition to the episodes, the box sets include special features like commentaries, deleted scenes, bloopers, and alternate versions of select episodes.

The standard Blu-Ray is also available now and is slated to arrive before Christmas.

The standard Blu-Ray and 4K editions are formatted slightly differently; the Blu-Ray is formatted in a 1.78:1 High Definition aspect ratio, while the Ultra HD Blu-Ray is in a 1.33:1 4K aspect ratio. Previously, the show was only available as a standard-definition DVD.

The box set is being produced and released by Sony Pictures Entertainment, which has held the distribution rights to Seinfeld since 2002, succeeding the now-defunct Columbia TriStar Television. Seinfeld originally aired on NBC, and ran from 1989 to 1998, totaling 180 episodes across nine seasons. During the show’s history-making run, the stars appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone in the July 1993 issue, sporting bold leather ensembles that were a far cry from The Puffy Shirt.

In addition to Seinfeld’s 35th anniversary, this year marked the series finale of Seinfeld co-creator Larry David’s long-running HBO sitcom, Curb Your Enthusiasm. In June, Kramer actor Michael Richards released his memoir Entrances and Exits, and spoke to Rolling Stone about its release, getting candid on his cancer diagnosis, career setbacks, and his time on Seinfeld.
