Default Re: Your favorite NON-recurring Seinfeld character...

Hpothetical:

Starting in the Fall, the entire main cast of Seinfeld (Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer) and most smaller parts (parents, Newman, etc.) as well as the writers, sign on to resurrect Seinfeld. The story picks up right where it left off, after they finish their prison terms from the finale (shudder).

Could they make it work?

Would it become a hit again?


Would you watch?

I guess technically you covered Larry David with the "writer" clause, but not mentioning him specifically is a pretty big oversight.

To answer your questions, yes, because it'd be like a network CYE - like most of Seinfeld, surprise! - and so it would still be good.

It's not a big oversight. Larry David was a huge influence on Seinfeld, but the show also got freer after he left - they really began experimenting. Some of the shows totally missed, but some of them were great.

As for some others, unfortunately the Maestro was so great they used him twice.

The Plaza Cable guy was pretty funny - FDR was one I forgot for my list too.

The guy from the phone company when Elaine gets her area code changed has a classic line - "Look, I'm from the phone company - I spend a lot of time dealing with semantics. So I won't be drawn into your maze of circular logic."
