I don’t know about you but I can’t wait for the “unofficial” reunion of Seinfeld. The show’s success in the ‘90’s was a seminal event for those of us born or raised in the New York Metro area. It signaled that the rest of America really “gets” us … we ethnic New Yorkers who are neurotic, lovable and quite endearing.

So, how great is it that Larry David has re-gathered Jerry, Elaine, George & Kramer to do a 5-episode stint on Season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm? Word I hear is that it’s a “gimme” to revive the career of Michael Richards (aka, Kramer) who famously flamed out in a racist tirade doing his stand-up routine in L.A. a few years back.

Did you know it was recorded on someone’s cell phone and sold to the TV tabloids? Larry David, being the loyalist friend to the end, has agreed to resurrect the failing careers of those actors still living with the “Seinfeld Curse.”

Other insider gossip is that they have tracked down and reassembled the set of Jerry’s apartment and Monk’s Coffee Shop for the Curb episodes. Richards rediscovered his character when stepping into the Kramer shoes and standing behind Jerry’s apartment door.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus reports that the reunion is tied into Larry trying to get back his estranged wife Cheryl. Of the reunion Louis-Dreyfus says, "It's the anti-reunion reunion, and I'd like to copyright that."

Gossip and rumors aside, it promises to be entertaining television. In the meantime, let’s take a trip down memory lane and review some favorite “Seinfeld’ism’s” and Seinfeld episodes.
Memorable quotes and expressions:
• “Hello, Jerry.” “Hello, Newman.”
• “Shrinkage. What? You never heard of shrinkage?”
• "Mrs. Seinfeld, please. I am begging you. Put the air conditioner on." "You're hot?" "I've lost six pounds." "I don't even know how to work it.
• “No soup for you!”
• “Yada Yada Yada.”
• “Master of his domain.”
• "Mansiere …that's right: a brassiere for a man."
• “She had man-hands!”
• "This is an astronaut pen. It writes upside down. They use this in space."
• "Did you know that the original title for War and Peace was War, What Is It Good For?"Notable scenes and improbable situations:
• Jerry stealing the marble rye bread from the lady out on the street after she bought the last one.
• George drives Elaine to Jerry’s to watch a fight on TV. George finds the ‘perfect’ spot in front of Jerry’s apt. building and is about to parallel park when the spot is taken by Mike, also arriving to watch the fight. The entire episode is about the real fight in the street over the parking spot.
• Elaine hurting her back by sleeping on the “bar” of the pull-out sofa in Jerry parents’ Florida condo;
• Elaine explaining that she was making out with guy in the front seat of the car when she looked down and "he took it out."
• Kramer goes to work at an office, attaché case in hand, pretending he has a job (which he doesn’t.)
• Jerry is going to appear on “The Today Show.” Leslie is a fashion designer and a “low talker” and somehow Jerry agrees to wear Leslie’s new shirt fashioned after pirates. Jerry realizes, too late in the dressing room, that it’s a puffy shirt and goes on to complain to Bryant Gumbel on the air about the stupid shirt.
• The coffee table book which turns into an actual coffee table with legs; Kramer goes on TV to discuss it with Kathy Lee Gifford and Regis Philbin.
• George’s parents walking in on him masturbating in their living room.
• George selling his dad's clothes to Antique Boutique and then Kramer buying them in the store (remember the cabana shirt?)

I could go on and on. Bring back the best TV comedy in history, I say, and keep it sardonic, ironic and all the rest that people say on such occasions. Tune into Curb Your Enthusiasm on September 20 at 9 PM.
