Feel free to dip the comedian’s remarks in all the pretzel salt you can find, but it seems Jerry Seinfeld may have been worn down by years of inquiries about a revival. Asked during an Ellen appearance about Seinfeld’s potential in an age where Roseanne, Murphy Brown, Will & Grace and others are all dusting off their old sets, the comedian sheepishly offered “it’s possible,” to thunderous applause from the crowd.

I still doubt it happens, but I hope it does.
Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer in the world of smartphones, Uber's, etc.. so much potential.
Final 2 seasons outside of the finale were without Larry David.
I think Jerry Seinfeld has be very supportive of him through out it all so I doubt that would matter at this point.
There is one big issue though. With Curb back in action would Larry David be willing to co-write for Seinfeld? He is a must if the show were to come back.
But to be honest, it'd be more likely to disappoint than anything else.

Yes, and they sucked. If Curbed proved anything, David was the show.
I don't know that they could do a full-on season. By the final season, they were really running out of gas. There were a lot of comparatively weak episodes towards the end where the show just got ridiculous - it made its bones as the show about the absurdities of everyday life, the little things we all experience, and by the end Kramer was rebuilding the Merv Griffin set in his living room, George is trying to hustle a Frogger machine across a busy street, Kramer's shoving a giant rubber ball of oil of of a window, and Jerry's slicing open a dead parrot to retrieve a key.
Maybe it's something they could do as a limited run thing?
Jerry has said repeatedly that "nobody wants to see Kramer's 50th birthday party," i.e, it was meant as a show about single NYC folks in their 30s, so I'd have my doubts about it happening.
Oh for fuck's sake
It's played out, man. Give it up.
Literally just cringeworthy at this point.

He's now all but announcing that he's a parody and a troll, yet there is no getting rid of him.
LOL! Well played Slade
Jerry’s gf dumps him for not wishing her happy bday on Facebook. J:”I said it to her face!” E:”But her friends can’t see that &get jealous.”

Jerry gets paranoid about his girlfriend’s past when her iPhone automatically connects to the wi-fi at Newman’s apartment.

George is too scared to break up with his intimidating girlfriend so he just repeatedly responds to her texts with “New phone. Who’s this?”

They definitely need the guitar, though.
Nowadays, it will also be tricky to keep politics out of it, I think.
He's become BBI's version of, "Heeellllllloooooooooooooooo".
Larry and Jerry have lost their fastballs as comedy writers, and there'd be too much pressure to just rehash and amplify the popular characteristics of Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer instead of developing the characters any further (which there isn't much room for anyway).
I just don't think there's much unexplored territory for those characters. So I wouldn't see a (creative) point.
Of course, it would make a ton of money for them if they did it. So that might be all that matters.

That's a good point.

larry and jerry with 80% of their fastballs are still pretty funny. I'm enjoying this season of Curb. Fatwa!!!
The fatwa storyline was so lame. Completely unfunny.
The season finally got pretty funny when they moved away from it.

You kidding me? Jerry's character was based on his actual life as a comedian. So, he's married with a daughter, lots of cars, etc. Elaine is divorced (maybe a nod to "Old Susan"). There are so many possibilities with George and/or Kramer. I don't think it would be limited by tech. Instead, a wide-open palate.
