and did modern episodes with all the old actors returning? a few years ago they did a short bit during a tv break super bowl where Jerry, George and Newman were talking about the game at the restaurant and it made me realize it can be done. it felt just like a scene out of the old show they just looked older

Terrible. It was great when it was on, but trying to recapture the magic now would probably just be disappointing--and depressing.

They already did it on Curb and that's the best we're ever going to get.

I dont think they can really modernize it without losing the charm of it.
Most of the old funny stuff can be prevented by "let me Google it on my cellphone".

It was, but I'm not sure they could have kept it going forever. Seinfeld had pretty much ran its course by the time the show ended. You can only do "Hey, cell phones! Internet, guys!" for so long before it gets stale.

90% of what's on that Twitter is awesome imo. They could take some of those as a base, and expand it with Larry David's epicly awesome mind, and even just drop a fantastic 10 episode season.

If maybe they did some kind of like 6 episode mini season event or something where they planned it all really meticulously and made sure they were quality episodes it could be fine I guess.

But honestly I'd prefer they just left it alone, it was lightning in a bottle and they wouldn't be able to capture that again.

Alright, some of those are good.

They are good ideas, but how much can we really get out of the cast? At some point if they're still doing the same old shit it just becomes depressing. If they're still doing this stuff when they're in their 70s, it's just sad.

Now a similar show with a young, fresh cast could be good. The thing is that you don't need the Seinfeld cast to have this work. If they could bring in younger people, with their own voices, doing these kinds of stories, it could be great. But if we keep trying to bring back the old show we're just going to have diminishing returns, if not out and out depressingly bad ones.
