It would change how people enjoy the source material of Seinfeld
On Jerry Seinfeld's AMA Reddit thread, mullac (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/comment/ceiuftr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) posed the question: "What if Seinfeld still on tv today?"
Seinfeld answered, "Everything would have had to change. The character would have gotten married and started families, I suppose." It's interesting to consider what that might mean and how that could come along. Jerry and George both came close to tying the knot during "Seinfeld," but ultimately didn't. In today's day and age, maybe the characters would've experienced self-growth that led to marriage, or perhaps it means that they would fall in love with people as terrible as them. Do fans want or need that, though?
"Everything has its life cycle and if you respect it, people enjoy it longer." Seinfeld went on. He then called out "The Hangover" trilogy. "If you made just one, the movie would be a comedy legend." Since the films spanned three entries, Seinfeld felt that it compromised the quality of the original.
Reddit commenter Mitcheli1 (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/comment/ceiumuy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wrote, "Couldn't agree with you more. 'Seinfeld' ended at the exact right time. "
Perhaps "Seinfeld" is better left alone. So fans can remember the iconic show for what it was rather than revisit what could be a disastrous revival. Sometimes you can't catch lightning in a bottle twice.
