"Seinfeld curse hits Jerry and jumps networks to ABC"




  • The only person not affected by the dreaded Seinfeld curse appears to be Julia Louise Dryfuss who enjoys success with The New Adventures of Old Christine. Jason Alexander has gone through two shows already and now has a recurring role on Everybody Hates Chris on the CW network. Michael Richards also has had his share of bad luck with two sitcoms that tanked after less than a month (we'll get more into his story in a minute). Now, Jerry himself has fallen victim to his own curse. Maybe rather than coming out of retirement and doing stand-up comedy again, Jerry should have flown under the radar and stayed home with the wife and two kids. Jerry who was in the market for a new dwelling place, got himself a real estate agent with dollar signs in her eyes. This lady who was obviously taking advantage of Jerry was showing homes in New York. Jerry wasn't impressed by what he saw and parted ways with the woman. A month had passed and Jerry found a place on his own and his former real estate agent finds out about this and decides to sue the guy. For what? "Breach of contract". Originally seeking several hundred thousand dollars for her efforts, Seinfeld settled out of court where she willingly accepted $100,000. Let that be a lesson to you ham and eggers shopping for a new house...greed is one place where prejudice doesn't exist!
  • I really don't find it necessary to bring up the Michael "Kramer" Richards rant from a couple of months ago however, Richards is still using Chap-Stick after all the ass kissing he had to do for the racial slurs against black audience members at a comedy club appearance. Keeping that story in mind, what's America going to do about this Isaiah Washington of Grey's Anatomy? This guy is homophobic, and his being outspoken about the gay community came to a head after the awards show the other night. So they say, supposedly at least one or two people on that show happen to be gay. Now, normally anyone else would get fired for those remarks...not Mr. Washington. ABC has given this guy a free pass to say he's sorry. No way ABC! An "I'm sorry" ain't gonna cut the mustard. Michael Richards has been more black in recent months than a black person. On one episode of Seinfeld, Kramer who was dating a black woman was set to meet her family for dinner. He fell asleep in a tanning booth. Now, that should have been enough for the guy. With Isaiah Washington, let him do service at an AIDS clinic or the YMCA. Pull this guy off the show and screw him like the screw job that Michael Richards got!
