Channel 9 is advertising (on TV) at 9pm tonight (Tuesday 20 October) a show call “The Seinfeld Reunion”. I heard an ad for this on Channel 9 last night around 10:45pm tonight Monday 19 October and it is listed on online tv guides. Obviously a title to grab ratings! Firstly there is no such thing as a Seinfeld Reunion show so it is an outright lie. What this show actually is, is a mid-season episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (episode 3 of season 7 to be specific). Wow an entire show renamed for marketing purposes.

In the current season 7 of Curb Your Enthusiasm (which consists of 12 episodes), which isn’t being shown on free to air Australian television, there is a story arc where Larry David (the star of Curb Your Enthusiasm and real life co-creator of Seinfeld) is talking to the Seinfeld cast who play themselves in random episodes about a possible Seinfeld Reunion show… it’s basically a joke about how stupid and generally unsuccessful reunion shows are and the joke is that they are talking about a reunion show which isn’t actually a reunion show because it’s in another show, Curb, basically a deeper level take on the show Seinfeld, a show about nothing. A joke within a joke.

Without any other episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm season 7 having been shown on channel 9 prior nor anymore advertised to be shown after tomorrow night, an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (episode 3 of season 7) is being advertised as “The Seinfeld Reunion”. Is this a new low for Channel 9′s disrespect for viewer intelligence and its own credibility. Curb Your Enthusiasm is a Great show… why not just show the entire series and advertise it via it’s real name, it’s like watching Seinfeld anyway in terms of story and laughs.

I for one have enjoyed the 16:9 Seinfeld eps,

Not got into Curb Your Enthusiasm, maybe if ch9 had sired it at a better time and kept it on?

You are a massive joke Channel 9. Treat your viewers with contempt. What you are doing with HomeMade is a disgrace!!!!

Ahhh Nine Programming – I wish I had your drugs!

This season was brilliant and needs to be run in a consistent timeslot for viewers to enjoy the brilliant story thread.

I agree with others here and advise to buy the DVDs and spend a wintery day watching the series in one sitting.

Oh dear!

At that timeslot, it looks like WIN regional & Nine Adelaide viewers might miss out.
