Kicks off July 19th.

Instead of jumping from television to films after Seinfeld’s iconic run ended, Jerry Seinfeld has been pretty much up for doing anything. He returned to the standup stage and presented at the Academy Awards, he made a kids movie about bees, and he even created viral commercials for American Express. Now, the comedian is heading to the Internet again, this time to promote a new online series rather than a credit card company.

First thing that popped into my head was Robert Llewellyn's 'Carpool' series. Seems to be a very similar premise to that.

True, Robert Llewellyn noticed it too

It is the same premise as Llewellyn’s show – which started on the internet before being picked up as an advertiser-funded show for Dave – but with the addition of coffee and a more expensive motor than the Toyota Prius Llewellyn drove.
But although the Red Dwarf star admitted he wasn’t receiving a penny from multi-millionaire Seinfeld, he said he wasn’t angry at his idea being stolen.
‘I see it as a homage rather than rip-off,’ he tweeted today. ‘Anyway, #carpool is hardly 100% original, small cameras in cars are now used all the time.’
However he did copy Seinfeld in on the tweets, and added: ‘That said, gimme a lift.’
