Question

Viewers discuss syndication implications of Seinfeld episodes mentioning the fictional movie Firestorm, wondering if licensing fees or removal would be necessary for repeated airings.

I have been gone away for about 3 weeks getting married so I apologize if this has been done to death recently but I was wondering about the movie Firestorm. Will Seinfeld be able to show the engagement or the rye in syndication anymore? They mention the then fake movie several times and even say that Harrison Ford is in it. I wonder if they will have to pay some sort of fee each time these episodes air or will they just be taken out of the syndication schedule all together???

Maybe the folks at the real Firestorm should pay Seinfeld a finders fee, or something to that effect for, perhaps, supplying them with a name for a movie. Too bad the real movie doesn't star Harrison Ford, as I just can't take the idea of Howie Long as an actor seriously.

A friend of mine took an acting class from an actress and professional acting coach who worked with Howie Long (in "Broken Arrow," perhaps).

My pal said the actress/coach thought Howie was a "natural actor", very talented, and was going to be a huge star like Ah-nuld.

FWIW...

Can't say the same for Terry Bradshaw, though. [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.) (Remove XXXX to reply)

I'm laughing! Thanks. Occasionally, a typo can speak volumes, right? No really, I meant fooTball.

But thanks again for the laugh, Patrick. I'm glad my office has a door. [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.)

We've got a local sportscaster who has combed his thinning hair back like Howie's, wears those little round glasses like Howie, and wears a black turtleneck sweater under his suit jacket.
