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 – 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.

    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.

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

  35. CanaryCry says

    Seinfeld? No idea about the actor …

    “No reboot for you!” – obvious?

    We already have enough reboots or plans to do so.

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

    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.

    Jerry Seinfeld is on the receiving end of a lawsuit over his series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” with a producer suing that he came up with the idea back in 2002

    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.

    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.

  51. 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.

    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.

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

    Jerry 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.

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

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

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