I miss Seinfeld! They should bring it back!


Sorry! I can't get into this show!

Guess I am the only one here who likes the show. I wonder if folks would like it better if not viewed through the Seinfeld prism.

I think it's hard to make a sit com work with adult siblings living together and works OK here but not great. Also the show sometimes explores the great depths of the characters revealing "depth, soul, sensitivity, or awareness" but it's usually contrived, very unoriginal, and sappy.

But the show does make me laugh, and Julia is very good, yes somewhat similar to her Seinfeld character, but I think both are/were based on her and it's a funny character, so in this case it does not matter to me. I also especially like the katy school mothers, brief but funny encounters.
Show has not jumped for me, but I suspect it will have a limited life.

This has to be the worst show on tv she needs seinfeld to wright for her then it might be funny get rid of it

They finally showed Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a bra, and she has the abs of a prizefighter! Let's be honest, that's why most of us keep tuning in.

I like the show and i have a feeling that the ones of you who don't think According to Jim is great and CSI Miami is the next best thing to slice bread LOL just saying how is Jim still on

"Why is this show back on the air?" ... and "terminal patient" ... get my vote for best review comments. This show is beyond awful, and kind of dirty [yeah I know the new doublespeak for dirty is "edgy" - but dirty is dirty in my lexicon.

JLD is terrible in this, but that the writers thought any of this would be funny - well it just floors me.

The grand tradition of sophomoric humor from "Beavis & Butt-Head" lives on in "Old Christine"--only it's Butt-Head without Beavis, and not at all funny. The only way this show could be made funny is to have an episode titled "Debra Winger, Can I Please Have Your Autograph?" and have Julia Louis-Dreyfus wear Winger's Wonder Girl costume as ordinary street clothes 24/7 from every production made thereafter.

BUTTHEAD: Huh-huh-huh-huh...
BEAVIS: You said it--I didn't!
BUTTHEAD: Perhaps ABC can pick up this show and rename it "Christine Butt-Head"...I'd marry her in a second!
BEAVIS: What're talking about, dill? You're too stupid!
(Butt-Head slaps Beavis)
BUTT-HEAD: Shut up, butt munch!

Let's see where this is headed - Three weeks ago the show came back on the air and old Christine consumated her relationship with Mr. Harris and revealed that she had a lesbian affair with Wanda in college. Last week it was revealed that she and her brother were sexually obsessed with each other. This week's promos claim that she will be having sex with a teenager. I think I can see where this show is heading, and I really hope it gets cancelled before the episode where Christine engages in a threesome in a graveyard or the one where she finally satisfies her sexual craving for a 3-legged alpaca in the San Diego Zoo. What a gisgusting waste of talent, and what a downward career spiral since the role of a lifetime on Seinfeld, one of the all-time classics which tried to avoid the filthy themes so prevalent in this stupid show.

JLD reached near-legendary status on "Seinfeld" due to a brilliant cast and writing staff. Now she has none of that. Her ex-husband is incredibly bland, with the same leering expression on his face; the two yentas waiting for her to screw up have been done in 100 other shows; and her gay brother is just creepy.

Bowehead - The next time I use sarcasm here I'll notify the readers like you that I'm being sarcastic in writing. You took a comment I made totally out of context, then asked what decade I'm living in. Of course these are just ploys to get last-minute ratings for shows on their death-beds and, unfortunately, sex still sells. It doesn't matter if it's gay, interracial, bestial, incest, whatever - It is pushed to MAKE MONEY. Cheap Buzz is better than no buzz as far as entertainers are concerned, thus the interracial angle. Please come up with your own comments instead of mis-representing mine.

How could this show get worse than the unfunny interracial storyline? I will tell you, the incest show. Yuck!!!

The writer's strike is over. Give us something better to watch. Bring back the test pattern.

One reason this show jumped: Julia Louis-Kablooie

They wanted to shock the audience by "showing" Christine and Mr. Harris having inter-racial sex, much as "Ellen" (DeGeneres) shocked us by coming out the closet as a gay 10 years ago.

Um....what decade are you living in? Interracial relationships are shocking? Wow.

Why is this show back on the air? I thought it was canceled already? It's Just NOT Funny! Why don't these networks realize that if they add a "Laugh Track" to a lame show like this, it's only going to make it all the more lame! Btw, if You think You need a Laugh Track in order for Your audience to know when to laugh.. that should tell you the show's not funny. :P

I think I just figured out why they trotted out this terminal patient of a show for a curtain call after hiding out for several months. They wanted to shock the audience by "showing" Christine and Mr. Harris having inter-racial sex, much as "Ellen" (DeGeneres) shocked us by coming out the closet as a gay 10 years ago. How trendy, but there were interracial couples on TV 35 years ago (The Jefferson's neighbors in the high-rise), and one can see 30-40 interracial couples on a trip to the mall today. No, Christine, we won't watch this stupid show any more because it stinks, but if it makes you feel beter about your failure, blame it on the fact that the audience couldn't handle you sleeping with a black guy. That may help your writers get new jobs now that they've called off their strike. Personally, I think maybe the "Seinfeld curse" is in the best interest of those of us who still try to enjoy TV.
