‘The idea smacks of an easy money grab’: readers on a Seinfeld reunion

‘Like most people, I was a little disappointed with the finale’ … Jerry Seinfeld as Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes and Michael Richards as Cosmo Kramer in Seinfeld.

‘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
