What Would ‘Seinfeld’ Be Like Today?
By Gaby Dunn
Ever wonder what Seinfeld episodes would be like today? Of course you do. You’re a reasonable, cool person.
Here’s your answer: A HILARIOUS twitter feed called @SeinfeldToday is full of episode ideas for a modern Seinfeld, using podcasts, Grindr, the Apple store, JDate and Girls. It’s so spot-on, it’s insane. I wish these were real episodes. Why are they not real episodes?
Check out some of the episode idea tweets below and on Seinfeld Today, then see if you can write your own. (It’s real fun.)

PS: In case you were wondering if he was indeed a brilliant genius, the idea apparently stemmed from TC regular Josh Gondelman’s delightful mind.
