Is this one show where a revival could be great?


Before anyone freaks out, I'm not saying it should or will come back. I just got thinking because on Ellen, Jerry Seinfeld was asked if there would ever be one and he said, "It's possible". Now I realize that's probably a load of crap and he's just messing with the fans, but I do think Seinfeld is kind of timeless not just in reruns but if they did new episodes. With the show being about nothing, they can just adapt to it being about nothing in the current world.

I've seen some really funny current Seinfeld episode ideas, and a lot of them would actually work great as real episodes. There's one idea where Jerry gets agitated by group messages. That is definitely something that the real writers could make hilarious. Or George getting pissed because his girlfriend doesn't want to use phones at dinner and now he has to talk to her. Or the free wifi George uses suddenly having a password and George becomes obsessed with getting it so he can keep using it.

They all are old now. They would make episodes about how they're having problems with their bowel movement

We got a fictional reunion in season 8 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. That was enough.

Yeah, I believe Larry said that season 8 of Curb was as close as you were gonna get to a reunion. And that's okay with me. I thought that was funny and that's as much as I need to see for a reunion.

All these other shows doing reunions look foolish for the most part. Seinfeld is better than them. And by not succumbing to the reunion pressure like these other shows, it will always remain better than them.

It may interest you to know that there is a clip on youtube which edits all the reunion stuff from Curb into a somewhat cohesive episode.

It was season 7.

Ah, that’s right.
