September 1, 2009 Lori Acken

August 26, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer

The show documents his fictionalized life post-Seinfeld. It’s a loosely scripted half-hour comedy about his awkward social and cultural interactions with his friends and neighbors. The show begins its seventh season September 20 after a two-year hiatus, and promises to be possibly its best with a story arc that centers around a Seinfeld reunion. Despite saying in the past that a Seinfeld reunion would never happen, David had the […]
