It's just like Larry David to weasel his way out of a proper "Seinfeld" reunion. Instead, he slipped them into season seven of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" for a five-episode stint about a faux "Seinfeld" reunion that we may never actually get to see.

It's perfectly fitting that Larry, simultaneously self-loathing and narcissistic, would give Jerry Seinfeld the chance to call the reunion "desperate" and "pathetic," and that Jason Alexander would take an on-camera cheap shot at the lame "Seinfeld" finale.

Of course a show about nothing would have a reunion that's no big whoop.

But in real life, it was a slightly bigger whoop than that, remembers Alexander. There was even some George-worthy anxiety. "We anticipated some less-than-stellar things," he said. "But none of them occurred. The concerns were that we wouldn't have it anymore. It's been a decade and change. We wondered, was the chemistry a thing of its time? Do I even know how to do this anymore?"
