It was only a matter of time. After dominating the syndicated airwaves for the past decade, “Seinfeld” has been reinvented as a musical. Sort of.

A dinner theatre in Winnipeg, Canada has developed “The Gerry Steinfeld Show,” a musical comedy featuring comedian Gerry Steinfeld and his friends Elaine Venice, George Cadenza and Cosmo Krainer. Hmmmm…

VH-1’s Best Week Ever has posted a link to the Winnipeg Sun’s review of the show, along with some suggested song lyrics. Theirs are pretty lame, though; we’re sure you can do better. For example, they left out the following classic ditties:

“Sister, Can You Spare a Square?”
“What Can You Do When There’s No Soup for You?”
And the tender ballad, “I Get All Loopy When You Call Me Shmoopy”

So, let’s hear it: What songs would you write for the “Seinfeld” musical?

Actually, that’s bullshit. Of course they can’t.

So when you read this article, which says that “Turner Broadcasting is scouring more than 1,500 classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including old favorites ‘Tom and Jerry,’ ‘The Flintstones’ and ‘Scooby-Doo,’ to edit out scenes that glamorize smoking” because “one viewer…took offense to two episodes of Tom and Jerry shown on the Boomerang channel, a corporate sibling of Time Warner Inc.-owned Turner Broadcasting,” well, it’s a lie. Clearly, somebody higher up the food chain feared that someone might file a lawsuit in twenty or thirty years, saying that they got lung cancer because Quick Draw McGraw lit up a stogie.

“Smoke ’em if you got ’em, Wilma!”

What a stupid, stupid world we live in, full of stupid, stupid people.
