Case in point: On the heels of the Alphabet's (almost official) acquisition of NBC's brilliant-but-nearly canceled
Scrubs, sources are telling me that the net is making a play for
Julia Louis-Dreyfus' hilarious
Seinfeld-curse-busting comeback vehicle,

According to several insiders, all of whom asked not to be identified because they would prefer to keep their jobs, execs at ABC have been engaged in informal talks with Warner Bros. Television about picking up
Old Christine should CBS decide not to renew it. The third-year laffer, which earned its highest ratings of the season this week, remains very much on the bubble at CBS.
Reps at ABC and Warner Bros. were unavailable for comment.
