‘Elaine and Jerry together? That would disrupt the dynamic’
It wouldn’t be a chuckle-worthy episode without some angst and misanthropy from George. I picture him living a charmed but still-unsatisfied life with an older divorced woman (glomming on to her because of her rent controlled apartment) whose young adult children George is always butting against as he navigates their seemingly “woke” world. Kramer successfully patents an invention no one knew they needed and becomes a millionaire living in Florida who comes to New York for business. Elaine and Jerry together? No. That would disrupt the dynamic. Both have to have been divorced from previous partners, hanging out together while trying to make sense of online dating and trading the same barbs. It’s hard to imagine the core foursome with outside partners or kids: the two worlds colliding. Sue, 60, New York
‘I’d like a new layer added to the Larry David universe’
I loved the Seinfeld reunion thread in Curb Your Enthusiasm. While it kind of hurts my head thinking about how meta it would be, I’d like to see them treat the story created there as canon – George really did get rich, lose his money and may have got back with his ex-wife after signing a prenup and so on. That would add a layer to the wider Larry David universe that would make me giddy with joy. Tim Wild, Gloucestershire
‘Kramer is a successful YouTuber’
I have been a Seinfeld fan since it first aired in the early ‘90s. For me it’s perhaps the greatest sitcom of all time. I’d like to see Kramer as a highly successful YouTuber, now a multimillionaire; Elaine head of Pendant Publishing; George somehow becomes a hybrid architect/marine biologist; Jerry pretty much his usual laconic self. And of course they should reinstate the “standup” introductions to the episodes that the early shows had. Julian, 51, Nottinghamshire
‘There’s no need to resurrect this show’
I’d like to see nothing. And not as in, ‘the show was about nothing’. There’s no need to resurrect this show, or any finished show, for a one-off finale, especially a supposedly “re-envisioned” one. The idea smacks of an easy money grab and a caving to guaranteed bums-on-seats nostalgia. The time and money could be better spent on paying new writers to create fresh comedies instead of paying old ones to revisit a long-finished property. Anonymous, Virginia, United States
‘I’d hope it would lean in to its weirder side’
I only watched Seinfeld for the first time last year. I’ve seen plenty of sitcoms over the year but Seinfeld seemed to have taken so many odd choices when it came to plot and production, shots and concepts you’d never see attempted in something like Friends. I’d hope it would continue leaning in to its weirder side. Many of its themes are incredibly dated and I feel as if I can only imagine a reboot that highlights this. Jerry, George and Elaine struggling to adapt to modern dating rules, while Kramer instead flourishes in a world of polyamorous free spirits. Daniel, 30, Worthing
‘I like the idea of the gang harbouring 30-year-old grudges’
Like most people, I was a little disappointed with the finale. With a show that avoids sentimentality at all cost, it is very hard to pull off what we might expect from a typical last episode. For example, Frasier, which had warmth and sentimentality in the bucketloads, was able to offer a fulfilling final instalment for that very reason. Let’s not forget that Larry, Jerry and the rest of the cast have already had their cake and eaten it with season seven of Curb Your Enthusiasm: a reunion without a reunion.
Not only was it a fitting final chapter but it was also one of the strongest seasons of Curb. Jason Alexander suggested in one of the bonus interviews on the DVDs it would be amusing to bring the four back from prison, sat in Monk’s Cafe with George simply saying, “Well, that was an ordeal.” I like that idea, too. There could also be some amusing mileage in the gang still harbouring grudges from 30 years ago. Beyond that, I think there are limited opportunities for a revisit. James Tuck, 38, North Yorkshire
