SEINFELD - The 9/11 Episode

[Matt]

So this has been making rounds on the internet for the past few days. It is a spec script of a Seinfeld episode, addressing 9/11. Its actually pitch perfect. Definitely worth a read if you are a fan of the show.

I played that out in my head as I read it

That part with Jackie made me chuckle.

You can hear Alexander's voice as you read George's lines, seriously.

I feel like all four of them would have no issue with doing a table read of this, but I think a lot of people would have a problem with it.

Funny moments, but it read more South Park/It's Always Sunny than Seinfeld to me. Just a little too sociopathic. If Seinfeld had still been running at the time of the attacks, I don't think they would've gone full steam ahead into something like this, even if they waited a bit.

I thought it was hilarious.

I dunno, I thought it was really funny. The only person who felt really Flanderized was George. George is a jerk, but pretending to be a 9/11 rescuer is low, even for him. That said, it was still pretty funny. The stuff with Frank and Estelle was dead-on. The rest of the stories were perfect for the characters.

The only thing it needed: the armoire and AIDS ribbon "street toughs" should have been at the claims center.

I thought Kramer's characterization felt a little more off than George's to me. I think there are a few directions they could've taken "Kramer finds out one of his pals participated in the attacks" than him demanding compensation for something that costs $10 and was used in a terrorist attack.
