An Even Worse Pilot Than "Jerry"

Fasten your seatbelts- Seinfeld's coming back to TV!:

NEW YORK — Jerry Seinfeld is returning to NBC as producer of a comic reality series where celebrities and a referee try to help squabbling couples make peace. That's the good news for Seinfeld's fans.

The bad news? Seinfeld said he has no plans to step in front of the cameras for "The Marriage Ref" or, for that matter, to ever star in a television series again. "It's a young man's game," said Seinfeld, 54. "Nothing could surpass the experience I had."

With all due respect, that sounds to me like the dumbest idea for a TV show ever. Not quite as disastrous as the Gates/Seinfeld commercial series, but still pretty bad.
