Fans discuss how Seinfeld could have humorously adapted the documentary "Capturing the Friedmans" about a suburban Jewish family, with some preferring South Park to take on the subject instead.
Anybody seen "Capturing the Friedmans"?
Actually, that movie makes me REALLY miss 'Seinfeld" Can you imagine what they would have done with THIS? A family of middle class suburban NY jews- all comedian wanna bees who compulsively camcorder their antics until one day it all comes back to haunt them?

Actually what I am waiting for is "South Park" to pick up on "Friedmans" and so a spoof. I LOVE South Park.

Or maybe a Seinfeld reference on South Park, (or has this already happened?). I did see a Seinfeld reference on "The Fairly Odd Parents", (a much less brutal cartoon). One of the characters was inside the tv and kept going through different tv shows (or something like that). You hear funky bass music, he stood on stage in front of a microphone on a stage...and "nothing" happened.
Whoahhh!!! Your email is [email]

I love Seinfeld, and equally so South Park. I have not formulated the idea, but I am sure Trey and Matt could spoof something related to CTF. The line between reality and fiction keeps bluring. Look at The Osbournes, Michael Jackson showing his 'home movies' on t.v., the success of CTF, and now American Splendor, Big Brother and so much more.

I saw a Seinfeld reference on Family Guy. It was one of the early episodes in the first season. "George" and "Jerry" were in the apartment and were talking about George's new girlfriend.
George: She always tickles me. Jerry: She's a tickler? George: She's a Tickler! Jerry: And your not a a stickler for a Tickler George: Not a stickler for a Tickler! George an Jerry overlapping each other: SticklerStickler SticklerSticklerSticklerSticklerSticklerSticklerStickler SticklerSticklerSticklerSticklerSticklerSticklerStickler
OT: does anybody think the writers of Family Guy hated Jews? I think they made fun of them more than any other race.
Seth MacFalane, Alex Borstein, David Zuckerman et. al are equally opportunity offenders. Nothing is sacred, and that is exactly the way it should be. Nobody is being picked on or insulted. It is comedy and nothing more.

Definately true, did you see the banned "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" Episode? It was still pretty hilarious.

"Borstein" and "Zuckerman" sound like Jewish names...(?)

Uncle Leo?
hey Jesse- Howd you find this post?
Did you search on "Freidmans" or do you just like Seinfeld?

Google "Capturing the Friedmans" is my most used bookmark, almost my homepage.
But I do love Seinfeld. Watched everyday for years in prison. Saw every episode over and over. Reminds me of my life and my brother and my friends.

BRIT GOT TOLD WHERE TO GO
By JEFFREY SLONIM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPTURED: Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld at "Capturing the Friedmans" premiere.
August 31, 2003 --
Jerry Seinfeld, introducing the film "Capturing the Friedmans" at an East Hampton screening Thursday night, tested out a little renovation humor, prompted perhaps by the elaborate refurbishing of the $45 million home he bought from Billy Joel.
Before an audience that included Rory Kennedy, Nora Ephron, Dina Merrill, Marty Richards, Christie Brinkley and Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes," Seinfeld cracked, "We're all here to see 'Capturing the Seinfelds,' a documentary by Billy Joel about an unusual Long Island family and their search for real estate in East Hampton. In the end, you're not really sure who won or lost."
