Is that pic from a recent time? If so, she hasn't aged a bit.

And, no, I don't watch it. Although I did like that "Listen Up!" show that Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) was in. I'm also a fan of the ESPN show "Pardon The Interruption", which is what "Listen Up!" was based off of, so I thought it worked as a fun sports comedy. Shame they took it off the air.  :'(

I've been watching it.  I'm not sure I've seen all the episodes though.  Its ok, I think it has potential to be good if it's allowed to go on for another season or two. 

Nothing will ever compare to Seinfeld though, in my opinion.  I never get tired of Seinfeld reruns.  Actually I have the DVD's and I watch them all the time.

I think this show has the best chance to make it compared to the other post seinfeld shows. I think it is pretty good, and it isnt too safe when it comes to the humor.

I actually managed to catch an episode while I was chanel surfing Monday Night, and I have to agree, it's not amazing comedy, but its certainly the best offering by a former Seinfeld alumni.. : ok:

... Err, apart from Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm? Yes, that must be what you meant.

Well that's only available on HBO here, not network television, so people don't see it or forget about it.  But you are right, Curb your Enthusiasm is brilliant.  Of course, it doesn't actually have Seinfeld actors in it.

Aye, we don't get it on regular television here anymore, either.

As for actors, yes it does, Larry David appeared in numerous episodes!...

... Not only as George's boss, but also as some crazy guy. On the television. Jerry has a dream... Something like that.


 :P

I actually think that Curb Your Enthusiasm is better than Seinfeld...............................

I know he was the man in the cape, that ended up being Frank Costanza's lawyer.  I don't remember him as George's boss though.

I haven't seen it enough to say its better than Seinfeld.  That's hard for me to imagine though.

I think that you're right. He was in it a few times, though.

It is far better than Seinfeld, because Larry could kick Jerry's ass!

Err... Anyway, Elaine, she's all... Yeah, funny and I've never seen her new show.

he is george boss at the yankees, mr steinberg. always seen from the back.
i am sure he does the voice. i'm not sure he plays the guy.

Yeah, I thought he did at some point.

From what I remember (I haven't seen any of those episodes in ages), he definatly isn't the guy. Isn't the guy fat?

You really never see enough of him to tell.  But now that I think about it, it definitely does sound like Larry David.

Larry also does the voiceover for one of the old men at a table in a Chinese restaurant when Jerry, Elaine and George spend the whole episode waiting to get seated.

I've seen a few episodes. It's pretty funny. But like someone else said, it needs time to evolve.

I like the episode where she goes to find a date at the grocery store.

The firsts episodes of the first season made me though the show was doomed to be forgotten very, VERY soon.
But it evolve a lot, and now I hope it doesn't ends anytime soon, because i laugh my ass off when i'm watching it!!!

I stopped watching it midway thru the last season....it seemed the premise was getting a bit redundant.

Larry David also handled the voice of Newman until Wayne Knight was cast to take over the role

I'm pretty sure Larry also barked like a dog off camera for the episode where Jerry ends up stuck babysitting a stranger's dog for the weekend :)
