Can you believe it's been 35 years since Seinfeld first aired?! (35 years, 4 months, 17 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Seinfeld end?
When Seinfeld came to an end after 9 years in May 1998, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Jerry Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Seinfeld reunion disappoint people?
Seinfeld aired from 1989-1998 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Seinfeld said he's not sure if Seinfeld would work today. “I don't want to see old Jerry Seinfeld,” he told a journalist (Seinfeld turned 70 in April). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Seinfeld movie?
In a recent interview, Bryan Cranston (who played Tim Whatley between 1994 and 1997) said he can't imagine a Seinfeld reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Patrick Warburton (who played David Puddy) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Seinfeld movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Seinfeld film, Jason Alexander stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Seinfeld reboot?
Recasting Seinfeld for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Seinfeld reunion, a Seinfeld movie, or a Seinfeld reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
