Jerry's style has a hard-earned kind of gravitas. Hence, even when he sucks, he is kinda great.

More than half of the bits in this special are stuff that have made their way into the legendary TV series carrying his surname. Still, they work. Maybe they work in part because they remind of us scenes from the relevant episodes. And maybe that was even intentional. Smart cheat, if so.

The fresh bits are all piled up close to the ending. That is where Jerry-the-husband speaks up. That is where we confirm once more that, even if you have millions and fame, you still are bound by the very same chains with other married men. It comes as kind of a relief to hear from the man that his great marriage sucks like all marriages do. Who knows, maybe it is not really so and he just made those problems up for the special. Still, it helps us identify with the guy on stage. Smart cheat, if so.

Don't expect too much from this special. It is Seinfeld, nothing new. It sucks. But it is professionally managed, has been tested and proven to work, and you won't be losing too precious a time given you already consider watching something for an hour. It's like a pop tart. And that is what makes it great.
