Reunited and it feels so good!

TCA Press Tour: ‘Seinfeld’ reunion comes together on new season of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’
LA Times


After years of saying no to the idea of a “Seinfeld” reunion, Larry David told reporters why he conceded and wrote a reunion into the upcoming season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”:

“I always said no. We would never do that, it’s a lame idea. And then I thought it might be very funny to do that on ‘Curb.’ And I kept thinking about it, and started to think of different scenarios. I called Jerry, and Jerry was game. I called the others, and we did it.”

But why would on-screen Larry do the reunion? one reporter asked.

“That’s a very good question, and that will be answered in one of the episodes,” David said. “That’s a big thing, because I would never do that, so there was a compelling reason why I decided to do it.”

“Seinfeld” shouldn’t expect a full reunion episode, rather, viewers will see David and Seinfeld writing the episode, aspects of the read-through, parts of rehearsals and the show-within-the-show being filmed.

“You’ll get an idea of what happened [to the characters] 11 years later,” David said. “You won’t see a show from beginning to end, but you’ll see parts of it.”

Audiences will also see the cast members playing themselves on “Curb,” which raises the question, will the subject of the Michael Richard debacle make its way into the series?

“It’s possible,” David teased. The reunion show will play out in “Curb’s” season finale, which could be expanded into a one-hour episode.

Rest of story here.

Speaking of reunions, here is a whopper! I was never much a 'Seinfeld' fan but I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. There's some odd level of cognitive dissonance there that I can't resolve. I really can't wait for this season. I'm anxious to see how Larry's new role as a husband and father is going with the Blacks.
