Article Summary 4: A Show About Something

Itzkoff, Dave. "A Show About Something: Marriage." New York Times 26 Feb. 2010. Web. 28 Feb. 2010

How long have people been waiting for Jerry Seinfeld to write a new show? A very long time, and the wait is almost over. People were crazy about the show Seinfeld that was big back in the 90’s. Now Jerry Seinfeld has come up with a new and creative idea, and is going to share it with the world. The new show, “The Marriage Ref” will be shown on NBC, and is going to deal with real life couples who just can’t seem to agree on one particular point. The premise for the show is that every couple just needs someone else to look at their situation and make a decision, so that they can move on from that fight.

A host of celebrity guests will be coming on the show, and will be making the argument for the two sides. The show will start off with a couple explaining a long standing fight, and trying to convince the panel that they are right. Seinfeld is hoping that the show will be easy to relate to for couples, and will be popular based on its content not that his name is attached to it. He has decided this will be the last project he will work on, which is understandable considering he is now 55 with three kids. Hopefully his last show will be at least half the success of Seinfeld.
