The Distraction

[Blind Gossip] Fans of this very clever TV series that ended more than a decade ago are excited about the rumors that the series may be coming back!

It’s not happening.

Then why would the show’s funny star put that rumor out there?

As a distraction!

No. He has no absolutely no intention of doing a reboot. He’s just saying that to distract people from the negative story in the headlines about his legal trouble. The reboot story bumped the legal story.

Hey! That’s not funny. But it is clever.

No reboot for you!

    Actor is Jerry Seinfeld.

    Series is Seinfeld.

    No, the charm and comedy of the series fit the time period it was in, redoing it for this era seems like it will make it completely different.

    Optional: I would be open to it. It could be really good.

    Jerry Seinfeld is getting sued for plagiarism, and he was teasing possible reboot of his show on Ellen.

  14. hrhfedup says

    I wonder if this could be Jerry Seinfeld – he’s being sued about his Comedians / Coffee/ Car show.
    Optional: meh don’t care

  15. mycatsarefamily says

    Jerry Seinfeld. Currently being sued for his comedians in cars show.
    Larry David’s writing made that show what it was and he has his own show now . So…No reboot for me!

  18. NoMoreMrNiceGay says

    Seinfeld. Lawsuit re Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee — “borrowed” the pitch from someone else who finally came forward seeking credit.

    Too bad, its a good show.

    HINT: Related Blind is Ali Wentworth who was on Seinfeld in the episode about Schmoopys. And “no reboot for you!” is the Soup Nazi’s, “No Soup For You!”

  19. SophiaB says

    Is this the (delusional) supposed Seinfeld reboot? I guess I missed the tea about his legal troubles.

  25. Brunettetalk says

    Holy crimany Batman it is Jerry being sued for stealing the concept of comedians in cars getting coffee.

  27. Brunettetalk says

    Seinfeld.? No soup for you? I can’t imagine straight laced Jerry having ANY trouble except of his own neurotic making.

    I would, to be honest, it will not be the same with out Tommy… may he Rest Easy in Paradise.

    TV Series: Seinfeld

    The related blind is about Ali Wentworth, who played Jerry’s girlfriend Schmoopie, I mean Sheila, in the episode “Soup Nazi.”

    He is getting sued for allegedly stealing the idea for “Comedians in Cars with…something or other.
    Don’t want it to come back. that ship has sailed.

    Jerry Seinfeld ?
    Seinfeld

    I wasn’t a fan then and definitely not a Seinfeld admirer more than a decade later. I thought Jerry and the show were hugely overrated and not very funny.. imo. He seems very prissy IRL and not friendly to his fans. His coldness to a fawning Kesha made me dislike him further. Stay retired.

  53. CapnZebbie says

    Jerry Seinfeld.
    Optional: I didn’t watch it when it was on before; not really interested in a reboot.

    Nope, nada, no way. New ideas please. Enough with the reboots. It is like the Walking Dead of Hollywood TV – everything resurrected.

    Christian Charles, who directed the Comedian with Seinfeld, is claiming that Jerry jacked his idea for Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
    Would you like to see that series come back? No, not really.

  69. athena says

    Jerry Seinfeld; Seinfeld-show; love the nod to the “soup nazi” : )
    I don’t think it would be successful in this day and age; way too many sensitive snowflakes out there.

    No. Of course he won’t, either. He walked away from the show at it’s peak because he didn’t want to kill it, he’s not going to up and kill it now. He’s trying to distract from the Comedians in cars legal drama.

  71. bertwheeler says

    Jerry Seinfeld
    “Seinfeld”

    First his wife allegedly rips off a cookbook. Now Jerry is being sued over his Netflix series.

    Option: No. It would never work. Plus, at their age, it would just be sad.

    Seinfeld

    Would I like a reboot? Before I saw the Will and Grace reboot I would have said no. But I’m enjoying it, so why not try Seinfeld.

    distracting from the lawsuit that he stole the idea for comedians in cars getting coffee- sounds like he may have taken the idea- come on jerry pay up the guy who pitched you the idea- you can afford it

    yes would love to see seinfeld return

  80. sllaurie says

    Seinfeld, going to court over the concept for comedians getting coffee in cars. Someone says they gave Jerry the idea years ago and now the want credit

    He’s being sued by someone who said that he pitched the idea for “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee” back in 2002.

  85. CanaryCry says

    Seinfeld? No idea about the actor …

    “No reboot for you!” – obvious?

    We already have enough reboots or plans to do so.

  90. chicagofix says

    I want to guess John Krazinski with their house flipping nonsense, but The Office ended only 5 years ago.

    Jerry Seinfeld, Seinfeld

    He is being sued for allegedly stealing Comedians in Cars getting coffee

  106. indylaw99 says

    Definitely Seinfeld!

    I probably would watch just out of curiosity to see what it was like but none of these reboots have been as good as the originals.

  114. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Actor – David Schwimmer (didn’t know he had any legal trouble)
    Show: Friends

    Optional: I would probably watch the first episode or two but I never watched the original except in reruns so don’t really care that much.
