Seinfeld TV Show • Page 21

The Cigar Store Indian is pretty problematic. The Puerto Rican Day Parade was pulled from syndication but it shouldn't really be offensive in context.

 

It's aged better than a lot of shows but there are definitely some issues. Jerry and George checking out an underage girl for starters.

 

I guess what I mean is not that there aren't plot points or even whole episodes that are cringe, but more that I don't think that would stop them being aired or having an audience.

 

I thought a lot of what they said was kind of offensive in regards to the cancel culture we are in now.

Sure, the Puerto Rico Flag episode comes to mind first, sure.

But actually, the more I think about it... I guess there is more risque stuff on air today.

 

But they are punished for it.

 

but they defend looking at cleavage even if she’s underage

 

They’re also supposed to not be good people

 

That is why the only one I truly think doesn't work is the Cigar Store Indian, where the message is that people are too sensitive about racially-charged figures of speech.

 

There are definitely chunks of dialogue that wouldn’t be accepted today.

One that comes to mind is in the episode where Jerry and Elaine set George up with a friend and they poke fun at her being bulimic.

the valet fog thinking Kramer is mentally ill.

and another bit that was pretty bad was the intro stand-up skit where Jerry pokes fun at people who’ve attempted suicide but survived. He says something in the sense of that being piled on top of all the other failures they’ve experienced that led them to attempt…

 

It's also Jerry Seinfeld

 

So, I just read an article where teased about bringing the show back…


“Here’s what I’ll tell you, okay? But you can’t tell anybody… Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending,” Seinfeld teased to his audience, going on to say that whatever that “something” is, “It hasn’t happened yet.”

He added, “and just what you are thinking about, Larry and I are also thinking about. So, you’ll see.”


Now I’m thinking it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s not a reboot but for a Super Bowl commercial, like depicting the characters reuniting after getting out of prison

 

I thought Super Bowl commercial from the moment I heard it.

ChatGPT based script off them getting out of jail today

**Title: "The Second Chance"**

[INT. MONK'S CAFÉ - DAY]

*Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are sitting at their usual booth in Monk's Café, sipping coffee. They all look a bit disheveled, as if they just got out of jail.*

**Jerry:** (looking around) So, we're finally back.

**George:** (nervously) It's like a dream, Jerry, a really weird, orange-jumpsuit kind of dream.

**Elaine:** (excitedly) I can't believe we're out! Can you believe we're out?

**Kramer:** (smirking) I always knew we'd be back. The system couldn't hold us.

[Enter NEWMAN, grinning mischievously.]

**Newman:** (mocking) Well, well, well, if it isn't the infamous gang of misfits. Out on parole, I see.

**Jerry:** (rolling his eyes) What do you want, Newman?

**Newman:** (smirking) Oh, just to remind you that I still have that bet with you, Jerry. Remember? Double or nothing, right after jail?

**Jerry:** (sighs) Fine, fine, whatever. What's the bet?

**Newman:** (smirking wider) You have to wear a cape and announce your arrival everywhere you go for a week!

**Jerry:** (groans) You're on.

[Cut to JERRY wearing a ridiculous superhero cape, walking down the street with everyone staring at him.]

---

[INT. JERRY'S APARTMENT - DAY]

*Jerry and George are sitting on the couch, eating cereal.*

**George:** So, now that we're out, what do we do? Go back to our old lives?

**Jerry:** (thoughtful) I don't know, George. Maybe we should try something new. A fresh start, you know?

**George:** (excitedly) You're right! We could reinvent ourselves. Become different people!

**Jerry:** (sarcastically) Oh, great. Who should I be, George? James Bond? Gandhi?

**George:** (pauses, thinking) How about a motivational speaker?

**Jerry:** (laughs) Me? A motivational speaker? Have you met me?

[Elaine bursts in, holding a newspaper.]

**Elaine:** (excitedly) Guys, I've got it! The perfect job for us.

**Kramer:** (entering, wearing a crazy outfit) What is it, Elaine?

**Elaine:** (smirking) Reality TV. We can pitch a show about our time in jail and how we're readjusting to the real world. It'll be a hit!

**Jerry:** (intrigued) That might actually work. People love a good comeback story.

**George:** (enthusiastic) I like it! We'll call it "The Second Chance."

[They all nod in agreement.]

[INT. TELEVISION NETWORK OFFICE - DAY]

*The gang is sitting across from a NETWORK EXECUTIVE, pitching their show idea.*

**Network Executive:** (excited) I love it! A bunch of misfits trying to navigate the real world after getting out of jail? It's gold! You've got yourselves a deal!

[Cut to the gang high-fiving and celebrating.]

---

[INT. MONK'S CAFÉ - NIGHT]

*The gang is back at their usual booth, but this time, they're surrounded by fans and camera crews.*

**Jerry:** (to the camera, sarcastically) Well, folks, we're back, and apparently, we're a hit. Who would've thought?

**Elaine:** (grinning) We might be out of jail, but we're still the same old dysfunctional gang you know and love.

**Kramer:** (striking a pose) Get ready for the ride of your lives, folks! It's gonna be a wild one!

*They all raise their coffee cups in a toast.*

**George:** To the second chance!

*They clink their cups together, and the camera pans out as they all laugh, signaling the start of their new adventure.*

[FADE OUT]

*TO BE CONTINUED...*

\[END OF EPISODE\]

 

Still amazed that Michael Richards never tried to "reboot" himself like multiple other problematic people. His roles post his racist tirade is just Curb and some short lived Kirstie Allie show.

 

Smart of him to stay away. We'll always have Kramer.

 

Dude is very rich still

 

He probably is pulling in millions a year still.

 

Just like in Curb when Michael Richards is distracted and not paying attention at the restaurant.

 

New book to read on the beach next summer
