If you like Seinfeld, & you're on the East Coast, he'll be on WFAN 660 AM out of NYC this Thursday I believe from 5-7. Their signal reaches all the way to Virginia

I had to watch it without sound here in the office. I'll watch it with sound tomorrow morning. The funniest thing visually is watching Jerry run.

Neat. It's worth looking at all of it. The teasers reference Green Lantern calling Superman, and the photo album has Krypto. The "behind the scenes" reveals that this was directed by Barry Levinson.

The actor in question is Patrick Warburton.

Jerry Seinfeld is reportedly a BIG fan of Superman. If you watch "Seinfeld," you can spot a Superman refridgerator magnet and a small Superman statue on some shelves in the background of his apartment.

If I remember correctly, Seinfeld requested that the Superman in the commercial look close to Curt Swan's rendition.

"The actor in question is Patrick Warburton."

Who I still think would make a perfect Captain Marvel ("Shazam!").

Pat Warburton

Yeah, he'd be great as Cap. He was the high point of MIB II, that's for sure.

I thought this site was great. It's obvious that Jerry loves Superman. Good-natured humour without being disrespectful. Good Job!

Yes! His name was on the tip of my tongue, and I agree that he would make a great Captain Marvel!

I also agreed that actor, Patrick Warburton would make a great Captain Marvel. As a kid, I used to watch the old CBS Saturday morning, Shazam series. I wouldn't mind watching a new version with Warburton in the role.

Of course, this time it might be nice if Billy Batson were played by an actual kid!!

I liked seeing them hanging out and all, and I liked the style used to portray Superman, but he was a little too dense to be Superman. It's a mischaracterization and somewhat disrespectful to the source. Jerry Seinfeld could have written gags which didn't rely on Superman as the buffoon.

Of course, Superman is my favorite character, and I may be overly sensitive to it.

I don't think that there are many others that felt the same way? Are there?

"Oh Yes, Wyoming" is an awesome song!!! If you haven't heard the full version, click on the Playbill that's on the coffee table in the link above.

"Oh No, Ohio. I can't wait to say good-bye o!"

"Oh Yes, Wyoming!"

LOL!

And in the "Bizarro World" episode where Elaine goes to Bizarro-Jerry's apartment (which is a mirror image of Jerry's), there's a Bizarro Superman statue in the background on a shelf.

Hey - I just saw this - I put it off, as I'm nowhere near a Seinfeld fan, but, somehow, I really liked it -

Here's my question - the place where they ate? Was that the hang-out from the Tick?

Superman & Jerry meet Matt Lauer

This is really funny stuff...I love when Matt starts asking Superman about the whole "Death of Superman" storyline from ten years ago...

The first "webisode" was pretty good, but the next one looks hilarious! Did y'all watch the preview for "Hindsight?" Superman and Jerry on a road trip!!
