Will "Seinfeld" ever die?
I'm not talking about Jerry himself, but the show "Seinfeld." I just read that the cast is reuniting (for a third or fourth time) on the Regis and Kathy Lee show. Oh, I'm sorry, it's the "Regis and Kelly Show". Reeg will be devoting the entire show to this crew!
Ostensibly, it is to promote the new DVD set of seasons five and six. I think it is just a stunt to remind us that they are still alive. When was the last time we heard anything from these people? Elaine: a couple failed sitcoms. Kramer: a couple failed sitcoms. George: a couple...well, you get the point. And Jerry? Raking in the syndication bucks! But has he done anything else besides bang his young bride? Without looking it up, I thought I remembered him doing something on Broadway. A few years ago!
I have to applaud their agents. Maybe showing up for an hour on a popular morning show will help some (one) of them get a show and make someone even remotely interested in watching it.
Maybe they should all revel in their type-casting and just do a movie every couple years: "Seinfeld and Friends", "Seinfeld and Friends in Breaking Training", "Seinfeld and Friends Go to Japan."
Jesus! "Seinfeld" went off the air in, like, the Eisenhower administration it seems, and it's not enough that the reruns are on twenty different channels throughout the day--now there's a whole hour of this shit on Regis?
C'mon!
