First off, Jerry Seinfeld looks great! It's hard to believe he's 65 years old.
He starts the show off with a helicopter stunt that is pretty amazing, though it has little to do with his set.
His hour on stage is what he's always done: observational humor. If you don't like it, don't watch it. He's not a prop comic. He doesn't really do characters. He won't break out a banjo and sing a song. Yes, he moves around a lot but that's because he's in a big theater, not a cozy night spot.
He sticks to what he knows best, which is everyday annoyances, life, and family. There's nothing political (thank god!) and his language is pretty clean. And that's just fine.
If you expect something else, don't bother. Jerry is Jerry. Always has been. Always will be. And that's just nice and good!

JS is a brilliant comedian but this is just flat. The audience laugh and applaud every sentence, when only one in ten are actual jokes. It's weird. I'd rather have seen him doing this in a more intimate club setting. This feels like an audience who have shelled out to see a great comic so are adamant to laugh at every line even when it's dated and unfunny.
One routine on Pop Tarts kind of sums up how dated this routine is. Why not do a standup about his Comedians In Cars shows? Must be some fantastic anecdotes from that. But instead we get the observational humour of a 65yo millionaire who thinks relationships are strange and Pop Tarts are topical. 4 stars for the opening stunt.

Is this Jerry Seinfeld's best comedy special ever? No. Did I enjoy it? Yeah, I guess.
I've been a massive fan of Jerry Seinfeld since I first watched Seinfeld. It's my favourite sitcom and probably one of the most brilliant and best written shows ever! Definitely the best in comedy.
It must be hard to create new material when you have had one of the most successful and lengthy comedy careers ever!
The man still looks great for 65 and I hope he continues to make comedy for many more years, Jerry is still a hilarious man and his show Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is still probably the best talk show.
I feel with this show, let it slide if you thought it was weaker because the man is legend. One of the greatest living comedians ever.

I think Seinfeld has run out of interesting things to say. I won't totally bash him because there were a few funny moments in this special but for the most part it didn't seem like the same Seinfeld.
There were a few moments that seemed like he was testing new material. If you're a Seinfeld fan, give it a try. Unfortunately, it won't be a special I'll be revisiting in the future.

Jerry can range. And what I mean by that is he doesn't always, uh, "soar".
And I would suggest that he doesn't soar, here.
Here, he showcases a predilection for "observations" that don't really work. They're the kind of stuff that, under the tender ministrations of Larry David, often got lampooned in the old Seinfeld show.
It was a little disappointing to see. I wanted to see Jerry soar, here. He too often falls flat.
