Although Christine was canceled last spring by CBS, Julia's hit show proved she broke the "Seinfeld curse." Her Seinfeld co-stars Michael Richards and Jason Alexander attempted to star in their own sitcoms which each lasted less than ten episodes. As for Jerry Seinfeld, he executive produces The Marriage Ref which will return to TV for its second season in late June.
