There's nothing wrong with the first seasons, what are you talking about? If they hadn't been good, I would not have even seen much of this show.
It's just that the show improved SO MUCH over the later seasons, that it might look like first seasons are not up to par. They are a bit slower, more boring, but still funny.
Some of the most classic stuff was done in those seasons, like the whole architecture thing and the whole Art Van... not sure how to type this, Vandalay? Vandelay?
Kramer was also more feral during those times, reminding me of UHF's .. what was it, Stanley?
First season being a write-off? Do you even know what a write-off is?`
The last couple of seasons are GOOD, this is one of those rare shows that NEVER jumped the shark. Seinfeld was never even near a beach, it was that good.
There were brilliant episodes, good episodes, a few real stinkers, and a couple of mediocre and boring episodes, but as a whole, the show was incredibly good and funny for the most part.
They ended the show JUST before the quality could decline enough to make the 'shark-jumping' happen. The quality fluctuated a lot between seasons, but it wasn't too serious, almost all episodes are watchable, which is more than be said about many other sitcoms.
The most brilliant thing about this show is that it's 100% humor, there's no 'sappy side', like in Frasier and all other shows. Every season has good episodes, don't skip seasons, or you will be missing a lot.
