So Seinfeld has been "hard at work for 4 years" on a new screenplay-as we hear ad nauseum on every talk show. So what did the comedic genius come up with? The BEE movie Rolling Eyes more animated trash to rot the brains of children. I'm not animations biggest fan so I have a bias.

God what a has-been. Comedian was OK but just OK. Count that 40 million a year in Seinfeld re-run revenue Jerry. Stop insulting us with crap.

HAHA! Jeez dude you seem really touchy. OK?

But yeah I agree, it's disappointing. I hate animations and never watch them. Too bad. I liked Seinfeld's show and his stand-up. He should go back to making jokes like the one about shoveling hay with two pool cues and the cab driver's name being spelled PXQ and the symbol for Uranium.

I love seeing Seinfeld doing talk shows and whatnot. I probably won't watch the movie, but I'm glad he made it. A movie means a press junket which leads to untold hilarity.

I love the "i'm richer than shit" attitude Seinfeld is sporting. It's really freed him up to be sarcastic and harsh without fear of repurcussion. Seinfeld joked on 30 Rock about buying NBC, just like "jello... JELLO... EAT SOME GODDAMNED JELLOOOOOOOOOOoooooo" Bill Cosby.

*We're all clearly aware of Cosby's mental illness, and I don't mean to make light of it. I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

I want Seinfeld to buy Comedy Central from Viacom. He might just greenlight some of the best television ever made. At the very least they might by AD and play it every day at 1pm. That would make me smile, as much as Jerry Seinfeld already does.

edit: I <3 qualifiers.

Sorry, not clearly aware. What mental illness are you referring to?
(All I noticed was his wonky eye; was wearing sunglasses last time on Larry King Live)

WOOSHhhhh

That's the sound of that joke going right over your head.

I was referring to his rampant egomania and the degree to which he has become a charicature of himself with all the neck bobbing and jazzy scalliwaggery. I thought the joke part was a given, since when I edited I could have just erased it instead of apologizing for it.

If it had been a joke it would have funny.

I got kind of tired of Seinfeld while it was running. Friends, too. What other shows were popular during its run? Maybe I wasn't watching a lot of TV at one time during its run. I don't know.

That '30 Rock' episode was GREAT!

Jerry: 'Maybe I'll just buy NBC.'
Jack: 'Yeah, right. Like you've got four million dollars just laying around.'


Jerry: 'I was on vacation with my family in a country only rich people know about.'

Word, I guess? You're awesome, brosef... maybe? I don't know, but I don't think we speak the same language. I do recognize your right as a spoiled white person to adopt and adulterate the great language of ebonics.

I really hope Seinfeld shows up on Curb, but I think it's a long shot.

I've always liked Seinfeld. Much better than the other "award-winning" shows like Frasier and the Larry Sanders show. Not sure if Bees is going to be good or not, but unlike the OP, I'll watch the film before making a comment on the film. Making a comment based on a few clips of a movie is like playing Armchair Quarterback after seeing a few highlights of a game on ESPN.

Here is Seinfeld messing around with the dumba$s Larry King.
