Seinfeld Making His Own 'Curb'
After Jerry Seinfeld's departure from his NBC series, years of shamelessly recycling the same jokes he made in 1990 finally culminated with an assaulting campaign for a mediocre animated movie. And I hoped, having seen that Larry David was clearly the talent in the duo, perhaps Seinfeld would again retreat under the shadow of his wife's cookbook, leaving no evidence he had ever emerged save for a faint yellow and black-striped blob permanently burned in my retina.
Unfortunately, it sounds like this might not be the case. According to the always-reputable Page Six, the Bee Movie hawker is in talks with NBC for a new series being described as "just like Curb Your Enthusiasm, but with Jerry, instead of Larry."
Just keep latching on to Larry's talent, Jerry. Maybe, since it's on network TV, those without HBO or DVD players won't notice you riding his coattails like a bicycle. I'd really like to know what L.D. thinks about this.
UPDATE: It turns out Page Six isn't the paragon of journalism I thought it was, and the report is false. Good job debunking, Chaz.
