re: Post 9/11 Seinfeld script, pretty dark

Seinfeld ending 3 years prior to 9/11 should've been a decent clue.

I was about to point that out. Besides, while Seinfeld was actually way darker than lots of people realize, they weren't that dark. Their primary audience would have revolted, and very loudly. It could have aired in 2011. Closer to 2001? More than one comedian's career was derailed by 9/11 jokes.

OTOH, if it's still around, the Onion issue a couple weeks after 9/11 -- entitled "Holy fricking shite" iirc -- was a slice of fried gold. Not sure how they did it, but they pulled it off.
