Now I know you don't like Seinfeld [which is shameful in its self], but what could you possibly have against the lovely Miss Louis-Dreyfus!

Anyway this is a good move for her, sadly she has struggled to find good parts since Seinfeld, and with someone like Iannucci behind it this could be very much a must watch for years to come. Excited to get more details

Most bad actresses would struggle. Without the baffling blindness over Seinfeld, she'd have to survive on her own pitifully meagre talent.

I don't think struggling in the acting world always has to do with lack of talent, look at most of the cast of Twin Peaks, you can't tell me there arn't plenty there who could have gone on to big things. Just sometimes politics can play a part, or bad luck. I think also being a part of something as big as Seinfeld can be curse as well as a blessing sometimes.

Needless to say she is wonderful in that show the perfect foil for the male characters, and is just so smooth and believeable in that part. I also enjoyed her part as the lawyer in Arrested Development

Hope this works out well.

Oh dear.

Love Iannuci. Love Dreyfus. Expecting good things from this.

Can't say this much interests me...

I liked her well enough on Seinfeld, but I don't really like her as an actress. The concept of the show feels very obvious, and this whole endeavor reeks of THE COMEBACK redux*
