Mini-Recap — Curb Your Enthusiasm 1.03 "The Reunion"

Oh my god. It's finally happening, although for completely selfish reasons. A Seinfeld reunion is in the works. But there's going to be some arguing going on. Probably a lot of arguing. And lots of spaced-out Michael Richards. But then again, what's new?

After Jeff poses the question of a Seinfeld reunion, Larry decides it's time to go to NBC and tell them no once and for all. But before he goes into the meeting, he sees Cheryl, who is looking to go back into acting. While in the meeting, Larry decides to say yes to the reunion show when he has the epiphany that casting Cheryl would possibly bring them back together. The ecstatic network director gives him and Jeff Lakers tickets.

Larry goes around and makes sure the four original cast members are up for it. Jerry's reluctant to do it because reunion shows are always so corny, but Larry convinces him. Jason Alexander is all for it, especially with Larry's storyline for George having an ex-wife. He does clash with Larry over tipping a waiter, though. Larry talks to Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, and while she agrees, he discovers that she lied to him about taking her daughter to a birthday party as an excuse not to meet him. And Michael Richards isn't quite sure what is going on, because he's destracted by erotic wall art at a restaurant (though he later agrees).

Larry is meanwhile angered by the poor tickets he was given by the network exec, and he curses at him, angering the exec and causing him to cancel the reunion, though his swift recognition of Lyme disease in the exec gains him his show back. All seems well until he gets a call from Jerry Seinfeld, who has already got Meg Ryan going for the part of George's ex-wife, which Larry had envisioned for Cheryl.
