As the Truth sees it…

One of my favorite TV shows of all-time was “Seinfeld.” I watched it throughout my entire college years and beyond. And now, if I flip past a rerun of an episode, I have to stop and watch for at least five minutes. No matter how many times I have seen the episode before.
So, I was extremely excited to hear the the “Seinfeld” cast (Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards) were going to reunite on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Since I was gone the entire weekend, I missed the first episode in which the cast has appeared this season. But I caught the rerun Wednesday night. And it was exactly what I expected. Straight comedy. Great show.
While the premise is not really a reunion show, it is still great to see the entire cast together. But not all reunions are as entertaining. Examples include “What’s Happening Now,” “The New Leave it to Beaver,” “The Brady Bunch 35th Anniversary Reunion Special: Still Brady after All These Years,” “Happy Days: 30th Anniversary Reunion,” “The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!,” “The Andy Griffith Show Reunion: Back to Mayberry,” “”The Love Boat: The Next Wave,” “Rescue from Gilligan’s Island” and “Return To Green Acres.” I could offer more, but why put us all in a bad mood.
Besides what I have seen of “Seinfeld,” I can’t think of one good reunion show. Ever. If you can think of one, please let me know.
