🤯 Prediction Never happened

NBC will bring back Seinfeld from cancellation as a surprise announcement.

Fans speculate about an NBC Seinfeld special's advertised surprise, with most assuming it's just a Superman/American Express commercial rerun rather than a show revival.

NBC is broadcasting a Seinfeld special this Thursday and they're saying there's a big surprise. Any chances that they might bring the show back?

This probably refers to a broadcast of the new Amex commercial with Jerry & Superman

Probably, can't hurt to hope for a real surprise though

Last Saturday, Jerry live:

Jerry's answer to the statement: "Bring back Seinfeld!" was "Bring it back?? It's on like 19 times a day!"

So, take from that what you will,

No, they're bringing the Wiz back.

maybe another spin off show....Newman as the star

what do you think?

Newman is fantastic, but he has lost serious amounts of weight, which definitely cuts into his humor quotient.

There is one candidate for a show that I think has potential and has never, AFAIK, been put forth. The rabbi that lives in Elaine's building. A rabbi seems like it would even be a good hook for a show, and his apearance and especially his voice are tremendous for a sitcom.

Well, you see, often in life, people will try to start a show, but for some reason or another fail. A friend of mine, let's call him George, wondered the same thing, and started a show about a motivational speaker. Now, perhaps, if you're not too busy, we can chat about this "loser", and maybe I can offer you some cookies, or kishka's, or perhaps go to a time-share where we can... Lainey?

Would you care for a snack of some kind? I have the Snackwells, which are very popular but I think that sometimes with the so-called "fat-free" cookies, people may overindulge, forgetting they might be high in calories.

I have the inside scoop. Jerry's suprise is the Baboo Show with Baboo Bot

Okay, so it's Thursday, 20 May 2004, 9:46 EDT, and I obviously missed "The Adventures of Senfeld & Friend" tonight, the "big special" that I didn't hear anything about until a couple of days ago. The announcement said it would be on after an episode of Friends, but before an encore of the final Friends episode. I guess I shoulda looked it up. I figured it would come on at a regular time, you know, on the half hour or something! It was on at 8:42. What sense does that make? Anyway, I couldn't bring myself to watch Friends, but now I regret it. I should have done the smart thing and looked it up. But I didn't. Now I do the hard thing and ask...

Did anyone see the special? Can you post something about it?

Many Thanks, Salvavida

All it was was the first American Express "Superman" ad, and a few minutes of the second. You can see them online at http://www.americanexpress.com/jerry or you could if American Express hadn't *taken the site down because they were overloaded*!

The voice of Superman on the AmEx website commercials is Patrick Warburton's, I feel sure. I checked to find credits somewhere for these commercials but none listed the voice of Superman.

I saw it. It was nothing special. Basically all hype and no substance.

I hope the Seinfeld DVD is better.

It was a time of great turmoil. The strong preyed on the weak, dogs and cats lived together. One voice cried out in the wilderness: Roy Knable wrote in :

Yes that was Patrick Warburton.

The "special" was actually the commercial Seinfeld did for American Express which has been available on the web for more than a month.

I didn't see the special but I enjoyed it when I watched it online. There were a few clever parodies, like the part where the DVD player bounces off Superman's chest. And the Broadway musical was pretty funny. I recommend visiting the website for the extended version of the song (if it's still there). It's good stuff.

Yes, but I think NBC was seeing what kind of ratings it got, possibly they are thinking of producing a "Seinfeld/Superman" sitcom.

I certainly hope not. As a five minute spoof it works, but even a single half-hour episode would run out of gas well before the last commercial. And an entire season? Forget it!

But Barry Levinson directed. Jerry has really aged in the less than 10 years since the show ended.
