It’s official – er, officially possible. Seinfeld has long been seen as the holy grail of potential TV revivals, and its star and co-creator finally concedes that Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer may join the ranks of iconic TV shows brought back for an encore.
You know the photo – George Costanza photobombs his boss at the beach. The Boombox Incident from ‘Seinfeld’s ‘The Slicer’ turns 20 today, and we’re looking back on how it was made.
The fight is just beginning for one of Hollywood’s most revered comediennes. Veep and Seinfeld favorite Julia Louis-Dreyfus took the courageous step of announcing her own breast cancer diagnosis over Twitter, pivoting the discussion to healthcare as HBO answers questions about Veep’s final season.
Seinfeld was no stranger to discarded episodes, but at least a few ideas were probably better off on the scrap heap. Writer-producers David Mandel and Jeff Schaffer reveal a few Seinfeld concepts that never made it past the writers room, including skeletons, a trip to Mexico, and a pretty literal twist on the Soup Nazi.
Seinfeld seems about the least likely sitcom to consider revival, to a point the idea formed the spine for an entire Curb Your Enthusiasm season. That said, Jerry Seinfeld has apparently at least been approached for a live episode return, and may himself return for Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 9.
I am not a huge gamer at all but I would play this all day. I know it's not a fully version or anything like that, but it needs to be. There are so many possibilities for levels. The coffee shop, the Yankee's front office, and the movie theater, just to name a few. I can dream right?
Kramer and Newman couldn't even pull it off with a mail truck, but that didn't stop one local man from returning out-of-state bottles and cans for deposit. Spoiler Alert: He didn't succeed either.
The iconic and still-relatable Seinfeld famously identified itself as a "show about nothing," but did you know that Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld envisioned the actual series with a specific focus? Or that Elaine didn't even appear in the pilot? Giddy up, it's time for the 19th episode of ‘You Think You Know TV?,’ which grabs a cup of Monk's coffee to talk about nothing with Seinfeld!
Even though Seinfeld ended its nine-season run on NBC in 1998, it’s never really gone off the air. It’s been kept alive through endless reruns and syndication, on DVD, and by the endless quoting of fans (yada yada yada). But there’s renewed interest in Seinfeld this week with the series’ debut on Hulu. Every Hulu subscriber can watch all 180 episodes of the landmark sitcom right now, which is leading a lot of folks to revisit their old favorites, or discover the show for the first time.
Being a huge Seinfeld fan, I'm very jealous of Kat right now. She confessed to Jason Alexander that she has had his voice mail message from the show on her phone for the last six years. So Jason decided to record a personal one for her on the Late Late Show with James Corden.
