So, last week I was clicking around the telly & landed on "The New Adventures of Old Christine", you know that new Julia Louis Dreyfuss show. Well, on this episode she was at some cabin with her ex-husband. Apparently, she & her ex had a pretty amicable divorce so they can hang out & talk about each other's dating lives, etc. Well, her ex & his gf had decided to go on a break. Then, the gf decided to break up with him completely. Hilarity ensues & pretty soon the ex-husband is asking Christine to sleep with him. Christine & the husband rationalize that since neither of them is in a serious relationship, that this one-time hook-up will be harmless.
At this point, this plot sounds eerily similar to a Seinfeld episode when Jerry & Elaine realize that they have to have sex to save the friendship. I also realized that this show has been on for more than one season, which means that it's been more successful than any other Seinfeld alum show. Is that how Julia Louis Dreyfuss is remaining successful? By recycling plot lines & jokes from Seinfeld?
Hmm..
Sounds like "The New Adventures of Old Christine" is just plain old Elaine Benes.
