Fans celebrate news that TBS will air Seinfeld reruns starting October 1st and discuss possible crossovers with other shows, particularly Friends and Mad About You.
Did anyone post yet that TBS will start showing Seinfeld reruns starting Oct 1? I think it was at 6:30 and 7:30, not 100% sure (saw an ad during Friends tonight)
Whoo hoo! More Seinfeld to watch!
(not to mention, I was at the grocery store today and when I saw the Papaya's, I said "and I don't know what's going on with the Papaya's!")
You watch Friends?! (Just kidding.) Can't get enough Sein on the tube. (Got to love the Sein!) BTW what would be a good crossover with Friends? That would be the all-time crossover. What shows are Seinfeld connected to? Let me see if I can name them all: Mad About You (The only show I think they crossed with). MAY crossed with the following shows, which connects them to Seinfeld: Friends Dick Van Dyke Friends, in turn connects Seinfeld to: Caroline in the City Hope and Gloria Days of our Lives "Scott" wrote in message news:[email]...
Melrose Place =========== A "Crossover" is different from a "reference". Melrose Place is referenced in Seinfeld but they did not share the same "time space continuum". So it is not a "crossover".
Mad About You ============ Kramer existed in both MAY and Seinfeld - that made it a real "crossover". Jerry's appearance in MAY was a "Celebrity appeared as himself". I do not think he appeared in MAY as TV-Jerry. However, Kramer's existance in MAY was enough. And then when Susan and George are in bed watching MAY on TV, that brought it all into a seemingly paradoxical metaphyscal level that just blew MY mind! :-) ===========
And the "Google" URL lists a lot of actors who appeared in two shows which has nothing to do with "crossovers" because they did not appear as "The same character" in both shows. So those are not "crossovers" either. ==========
"Slight Crossover" - Law and Order
In the 1996 episode of L&O "The Girlfriends". The detectives interview a bartender and we can see an obviously intentional clear picture of the real restaurant, Tom's, in the background. We of course know it as "Monks". =========================
And of course there's a lot of Seinfeld mentioned in another shows. For example Boomhauer talking about Seinfeld in King Of The Hill: http://www.bigthumb.org/wav01//KingOfTheHill/seinfeld.wav
And Jerry was in NewsRadio, but then he acted obviously as himself rather than Jerry from 5A.
Interesting bit of logical interpretation here. Kramer appeared as Kramer, an actor portraying Martin Snell in a "Murphy Brown" ON a "Seinfeld" episode.
He did not appear as "Kramer" on a real Murphy Brown episode.
So it technically is not a "crossover". Again, it is a reference, a MAJOR reference, to Murphy Brown IN a "Seinfeld".
yeah, I know Mike...but every time I see those scenes...
I had to mention it just the same.
And logic had nothing to do with it. Not from *me* anyway... ;-)

Here in KC, the TBS reruns will be on at 5:30 & 6:30 PM. And our local UPN affiliate runs the show at 6. That's right - a solid hour & a half of The Sein five days a week. Yowzah!
And our local ABC affiliate runs the show at 10:30 PM...
TSB is showing it here in Hawaii too but I think it's something like at 2:30 pm. Our local ABC affiliate used to show it at 10:30 nightly, but they switched M-F to Will and Grace. Seinfeld is now on at 6:30 pm M-F but it's a bad time for me!
