Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander by Monty Brinton/CBS
Jeers to The New Adventures of Old Christine for blowing a Seinfeld reunion. It was great to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander together again — but if you blinked, you could've missed it. The ex-costars had only two brief scenes together, at the beginning and end of the CBS sitcom's third-season finale. Couldn't they have written a better (or at least bigger) role for Alexander than Louis-Dreyfus' gynecologist? I hate to say it, but this bit of stunt-casting was much ado about nothing. • For more Cheers & Jeers, check out the new vodcast.• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine!

"Let's just say it's a good possibility," she said.Romano may also be coming back with his own TNT sitcom. Though he couldn't give many details, the show is "about men in mid-life. It's, 'Write what you know, and write what you cry about.' That's my philosophy," Romano said.Television funnywoman Estelle Harris, known mainly for her role as George's mom on Seinfeld, got to share some screen time with her former television son Jason Al...

Seinfeld courtesy Sony Pictures Television
On Nov. 6, as the final batch of Seinfeld arrives on DVD, so will a boxed set boasting all nine seasons. Seinfeld: The Complete Series delivers 180 episodes on 32 discs, all for a suggested list price of $283.95 — not that there's anything wrong with that. After all, the set includes a 226-page coffee-table book filled with photos, quotes, trivia and personal reflections from Jerry Seinfeld, a compilation previously only shared by him with his cast mates. The book, in turn, contains a DVD featuring a roundtable discussion between Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards and series creator Larry David, the first reunion of its kind for the group, held on the ninth anniversary of the May 1998 finale. Among the plethora of DVD extras — 104 hours in bonus features, peeps! — is a reedit of "The Betrayal," the famous "backwards" episode, this time going forward. Not included in all this: a marble rye. Still, that's a whole lotta nothing!

Jason Alexander (who got his start as a Broadway hoofer) recently seized the reigns of Los Angeles' Reprise! theater series. For his first offering, he's thinking of starring in a reading of The Odd Couple opposite Martin Short.
