Jason Alexander may be heading back to network television - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Jason Alexander may be heading back to network television. CBS has ordered an hour-long series, which Alexander would executive produce as well as star in, about a “former TV star who’s down on his luck and winds up joining his ex-wife’s detective agency. Once there, the character reinvents himself as an investigator with a penchant for disguise,” according to Variety. Recall that Julia Louis-Dreyfus has signed on for an HBO political show. It’s almost like an awesome turn on Curb Your Enthusiasm has wonderful lasting effects!

I’m of the firm belief that George Costanza is one of the all-time most tragic figures in American television, and while I don’t know that I’m desperate for another goofy detective series, I do love seeing Alexander play down-and-out. My spidey senses are telling me that the real make-it-or-break-it ingredient for the series will be the casting of Alexander’s ex. Chemistry, you guys. Chemistry.

I hope he finds the right vehicle, because he is talented.

Jason Alexander was nominated for an Emmy 7 times for Seinfeld.

He never won, losing many times to his co-star Michael Richards.

In my opinion Seinfeld could have survived without Richards as Kramer.

I don't think it would have ever been the same- or even have thrived- without Alexander as George Costanza.

I'd love to see Jason back on TV, but I hope it's a successful show! I'd really love to see him on stage because he has amazing talent! Plus he and my husband have the same birthday! My husband is beyond sick of me telling him how lucky he is!
