Jerry Seinfeld is returning to television, but this time he's behind the scenes. The NY Times reports on the new reality series he's producing for NBC called The Marriage Refs, but he told them, “This is going to be a comedy show; I’m not interested in the reality of it.” The show, a brainchild of the comedians, will focus on "funny marital spats," but will be more like The Honeymooners than Dr. Phil (noting that TV therapy never works). Each episode will have a theme and will capture arguments based on this theme, footage of which will be used by a marriage ref in picking a winner of the argument. Hmm, we were hoping he'd make the judge-appointed butler idea a reality.
