Airdate: The Seinfeld Reunion (Curb Your Enthusiasm)

Nine is playing a new episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm next week, billing it as The Seinfeld Reunion.

seinfeld-reunion-curbNine is playing episode 3 of the seventh series of Curb Your Enthusiasm next Tuesday night, billing it as The Seinfeld Reunion (Curb Your Enthusiasm).

The episode sees all four cast members of the legendary sitcom playing themselves as they agree to a series revival.

Seinfeld has previously commented, “Doing it with Larry and on his show just seemed like the only possible way it would be fun…” he says. “We would never do the type of thing that these shows usually do. That wouldn’t be our style. But something like this — that was sillier and a little more offbeat — felt like it might be right for us.”

In the US the cast have appeared in just one episode of the current series despite earlier reports they would appear in five.

Nine’s enthusiasm at the reunion has risen above its desire to play the series sequentially. The sixth series is currently in a first run on GO!

It airs at 9pm Tuesday October 20 on Nine.

Since Seinfeld signed off a decade ago, the cast has resisted every attempt to do a reunion show, until Larry realises it could help him win back his partner. With the network on his side Larry must convince Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer to reprise their roles. Stars Larry David, guest stars Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards.

  1. Pretty – pretty – stupid Channel 9 – No wonder you’ve lost all credibility.

    @Jen – Channel 9 deserves you. Atypically moronic.

    @Daniel is obviously the current teaboy trying to brown nose his way up the chain. No one is buying that baloney.

  2. I have never watched ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ before, but the episode works very well on it’s
    own. I had no problem following the characters and I thank you once again for showing this
    episode. The blurb in the beginning of the show explaining who Larry David is , was very
    clever. Please show this again with swearing censored/bleeped out so family Seinfeld
    audiences can watch it too. Thanks again.

  3. Brilliant idea!
    Thank you channel 9 from all the Seinfeld fans. It’s a great idea to get more
    ratings too.
    I wish the swearing was censored though so the family could watch it, as Seinfeld was a family show.
    This is particularly good for the Seinfeld fans who only want to see the reunion without having to filter through the rest of the Series.

    Thank you channel 9 !

  4. Possibly the stupidest and most cynical programming move in the history of television. If I were Larry I’d sue 9 for something or other. Bunch of Schmohawks.

  5. The only reason Nine is doing this is in the vain hope some viewers with turn from NCIS or the Rafters… If Nine had not mess with this show so much I might have got into it. Might just get the DVDs one day.

  6. @itsross They may well trick a few viewers into watching but I don’t think decieving people is the smartest way to build viewer loyalty.

    Their disdain for the general public is going to bite them in the arse.

  7. Curb, more than any other program, relies on the viewer having watched all previous episodes to get a lot of the jokes. It rewards you for your loyalty. You can’t come in half way through a season and show one episode and expect people to get it.

  8. I’m luving this season so far & there all classic in my eyes…
    The last eps when Larry snaps @ sammy is pure classic…
    & Channel9 are stupid as always airing the season from E3 is dumb.

  9. this is a pretty dumb idea.

    what Nine Should have done was fast-track the season from ep 1 and continue right through to ep 10. then once GO! have finished with season 6, re-air season 7 on GO!

  10. Casual Seinfeld fans (i.e. those who haven’t seen Curb, because I’m sure most, if not all serious Seinfeld fans would watch Curb religiously) will have no idea what’s going on.
    Channel 9 used to show this show at 2am and don’t deserve any kudos for showing one episode out of the middle of the 7th season. Replacing it with 2.5 Men the week after says it all, really.

  11. @theuglybaby I’m sure whoever came up with this idea will be getting shouted a round of beers tonight! Only nine would have the balls to do this, and they will no doubt trick lots of people into watching it..then a few will stay around to watch Ladette.

  12. Anyone else notice the commercial advertising this show goes from poor quality video where the CYE ep is being shown in the commercial, to normal high quality when they are showing clips from a real Seinfeld episode?

    What I’m getting at is, it appears they cut this commercial using a bit torrented version of the show (where a HD version hasn’t been uploaded to a pubic tracker yet). Just my guess it what’s going on.

    Obviously they will show the full res version on Tuesday, but it seems they haven’t received that show yet!

  13. I guess the episode will be edited for censoring. Larry drops the f-bomb in the first 15 seconds of that episode and there are a couple of scenes showing nude photographs too.

    So I guess Nine will only be showing episodes that feature the Seinfeld cast. From what I have read on Wikipedia that will episodes 3, 6, 8 & 9. How the hell is anyone meant to know what is going on.
