"You wanted to see me, Mr. Steinbrenner?"
Youtube has a montage of every moment from "Seinfeld" featuring New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who died today. We only ever saw the back of Steinbrenner's head, and his voice was courtesy of Larry David, but it was great. (There is one episode featuring the actual George Steinbrenner, who asks Elaine to be his date for George's wedding).
Here's part one of the video, and also part two.
The Simpsons (8pm, Fox) - Jonah Hill lends voice to a legendary prankster from Springfield Elementary who at age 19, shows Bart that he hasn't outgrown his mischievous ways.
Did the Mob Kill JFK? (8pm, Discovery) - On the 46th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination, Discovery has two specials looking at his death. First, an examination of evidence suggesting a mob connection to the shooting, and then at 9pm, "JFK: The Ruby Connection" looks at motives of Jack Ruby in his murder of Lee Harvey Oswald.
American Music Awards (8pm, ABC) - Performers include Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Carrie Underwood, Jay-Z, and many more. Michael Jackson is posthumously nominated for five awards.
Curb Your Enthusiasm (9pm, HBO) - In the one-hour seventh season finale, Larry misses out on time with Cheryl to do a favor related to the "Seinfeld" reunion.
The Oprah Effect (10pm, CNBC) - A look at how Oprah Winfrey can turn entrepreneurs into millionaires.
This is so funny to me, but then just about everything Larry David does cracks me up. Larry went on "Lopez Tonight" (which he seems to regret) and agreed to a DNA test to determine his true ethnicity (which he also regrets). The results from host George Lopez are surprising and hilarious (Lopez swears it's for real).
Ever think you'd see Larry David truly speechless? Well, here you go:
Three Rivers (9pm, CBS) - The debut of another new medical show, this one about a transplant team in Pittsburgh and starring Alex O'Loughlin (left). Tonight, a pregnant woman needs a new heart.
Desperate Housewives (9pm, ABC) - Someone strangled Julie last week (and I tried very hard to care). The obvious suspects are from the new family who just moved in -- either the son Julie's tutoring or the creepy ass dad. But that's too obvious, so my guess is that Zach Young has gone nuts again and returned to Wisteria Lane.
My Monkey Baby (9pm, TLC) - I'm officially no longer surprised by any programming on TLC. This show is about a couple raising their pet monkey as a child.

It's been two years since viewers have been treated to new episodes of Larry David's contentious sitcom "Curb Your Enthusiasm," but there should be no worries about him losing his edge, or his edginess. David is back to his usual quarrelsome self in "Curb's" seventh season return to HBO tonight.
Though the show has been on hiatus since 2007, the time lapse on screen will be much shorter. In fact, things seem to pick up pretty much where season six left off. Larry and Cheryl are divorced, Larry is in a relationship with Loretta Black, played by Vivica A. Fox, and the entire Black family is still living in Larry's house. But it shouldn't surprise you to learn that Larry's growing pret-tay, pret-tay, pret-tay tired of them.
Mostly because they like to keep the house too warm. So Larry wants to end it. . . .
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the cast of Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards) will appear together on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm this fall.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was created by and stars Larry David, who was also the co-creator of the Seinfeld show. Curb Your Enthusiasm is loosely based on Larry David's life.
The cast will appear in several episodes and the storyline will be about Larry's involvement with the Seinfeld show. This will be the first time the group has appeared together in a project since the end of Seinfeld.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a reality show hater. I've watched the best of them ("Amazing Race") and the worst of them ("Flava of Love," after Season 2). Yes, I have no shame.
But I pretty much think of them of where B to D level celebrities go to pay the bills.
Well, Jerry Seinfeld doesn't need money. And yet, the Hollywood Reporter reports he's reteaming with NBC to launch a reality show.
Tentatively called "The Marriage Ref", it uses marriage as its jumping point (that's him with wife Jessica); celebs will judge couples in the midst of marital disputes and give them advice to resolve their problems. And Jerry says its a comedy show.
We'll have to wait and see what we get, but I'm optimistic that Jerry might turn reality into a place where quality talent isn't afraid to dwell.
