There's Only One Way Seinfeld Reboot Might Work Today
Is it really necessary to make a remake of every famous sitcom?
The new tendency to make a reboot of almost every popular show that ever existed is becoming more and more popular. However, the creators of new shows are trying different approaches.
For example, Sex and the City 's reboot was made possible by And Just Like That, which jumped ahead in time to the future of most of the main cast of the parent show. The new show was just a continuation of what came before.
This kind of thing, like a reboot or sequel of the famous show, always causes a huge controversy among the fans.
Some of them are absolutely happy to get more of their beloved characters/plotlines/scenery etc., and the other part of the fandom just wants the show of their hearts to just lie there untouched in their memories.
Well, the same thing is happening with the rumors that the iconic Seinfeld show might get a reboot one day. But it seems that there is the one and only way that this could actually work.
In order not to ruin the parent show, which has already found its way to the top of the list of the best TV shows ever, the creators need a special approach.
And we think the one used in How I Met Your Father or, what's best, That '90s Show is the most appropriate.
So the suggestion is to create a new show, but keep the voice of the parent show. For example, keep the creators and producers of the original series working with a new team.
That way it would be easier to preserve the tone of the mother show. So if there's ever going to be a Seinfeld 2.0, it's just really important that Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld be a part of it.
Another important tool is the example of That '90s Show. While still keeping the tone of the original show (same name, just 20 years earlier), the sitcom focuses on new characters, but also introduces new faces.
The same approach that was recently used in the making of How I Met Your Father.
So the key is to keep the core of the show. And in the case of Seinfeld, it is the humor and the everyday nothingness of a plot.
Well, we guess it is not that scary to have a show like that? All in all, a new comedy from Larry David will still be a blast for any sitcom fan.
