"Seinfeld" co-creator and actor Jerry Seinfeld hinted that a reunion for the popular sitcom may be in the works.
During a recent performance for his comedy show, Seinfeld, 69, teased that he and co-creator Larry David were working on a special project for fans.
"Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending. But I can’t really tell it, because it is a secret. Here’s what I’ll tell you. OK? But you can’t tell anybody," Seinfeld began in an Instagram video shared by Boston Global Media CEO Linda Henry.

Sure, but for the most part I didn't find them unlikeable or unsympathetic. The show seemed to me to be saying that one didn't have to be perfect, and that being a little loopy wasn't the worst thing in the world. In the last episode, though, the series did morally indict the characters. That episode wasn't one of the best by any means.
Michael Richards was great on “Fridays”, especially as “Battle Boy”.
I tell people I have 4 friends coming over tonite. They come over ever night.
“Oh, how nice!”
Yeh,....
Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer.
Jerry: It’s a show about nothing.
Truer words were never said.........................
The three episodes with Brian George as Babu Bhaat the deported Pakistani very funny “Jerry is very very bad man”
Yes, that’s what made the show work, in that the characters were horrible yet somehow we found them likable, warts and all. That’s always a difficult to maintain, most show either make them too unlikable, or too perfect that we cannot relate to their lack of flaws.
Wasn’t that China Beach?
I was in college and an ROTC cadet at the time. Most of our senior cadre were Vietnam vets and had interesting commentary on the show...as I recall their assessment was that some aspects of the show were pretty well researched and realistic and other parts were ludicrous Hollywood fabrication.
Overheard it. Never watched it.
Same. Didn’t like it or dislike it, just never thought it was funny.
Why be a fan of a show that is about nothing?

Dana Delaney was China Beach.
I was raised in the Midwest and spent more than half of my military career in the Plains states and I can agree with you.
I have seen three episode of Seinfeld, one being the "Soup Nazi" (almost funny) and understood but was not impressed with the humor.
Another show that needs to be placed in the Hall of Mediocrity is "Friends." I tried to watch a couple of episodes and shrugged.
Never watched it except I was in a bar the night the last episode aired and everyone was glued to the TVs. Very weird experience. I felt like an anthropologist watching some aboriginal ceremony.
Yes, indeed. Constantly.
Yet there are people who lament if shows that like leave a paid streaming service even though they are on regular free TV constantly.
That he demanded particular ordering etiquette.
That he banned customers, in Elaine's case for a year.
His fierce hostile demeanor as opposed to friendly and welcoming like every other business owner.
To each his own. I'm very familiar with the show and it's quite good. But the first episodes in the first season were dreadfully bad. No zip, no cleverness, dull writing, dead air. None of the characters were even remotely interesting.
They all were locked up in jail. The new show will have them being released after all these years and find their apt building is overrun by drug addicts and illegals.
I don't remember that. Could you provide examples?
Off the top of my head, the black characters (with lines) I recall were Jerry's exterminator, George's co-worker Morgan, John Paul the marathon runner. None of them were buffoonish.
Definitely portrayed gays as buffoons, as in the “Who Doesn’t Want To Wear The Ribbon” episode.
LOL, yeah, same here.
