Seinfeld DVD's are coming, but it's nowt to do with rights, the hold-up was a big fight over royatlies, there's more info in this thread: http://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=1254

Never mentioned it at the time but I did find it interesting that Jason Alexander was doing...The Producers!

That was the point of the Curb/Producers thing, wasn't it?  Unless you're talking about something else, and I'm being an eejit.

Well I was wondering if Larry David had taken that as an inspiration for the fourth series of Curb, you see.  Suppose he must have, it would be an odd coincidence.  I like that he is basing his sitcom characters life around what the guy who played him in another sitcom did!

That's the way I took it;  JA has been in the Producers since early last year, so it would have to be one hell of a coincidence.  Kind of takes the running joke about the spectre of Seinfeld to a whole new level.

Yes it does! I didn't know that about 'JA'. I really must get round to rewatching series 4 of curb,because all of this throws new light on the thing.

The guiy who plays Jerry's second dad in Seinfeld is in the Producers movie.

That is all I have to add right now, except that Curb has mucho Seinfeld references.
