Kudrow co-wrote the pilot episode with Michael Patrick King, who also is serving as an executive producer. An air date was not announced.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The pretty non sequitur comes at the end:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Kudrow played ditsy Phoebe Buffay in NBC&#8217;s hit sitcom &#8220;Friends,&#8221; which ended in May after 10 years. Her film roles include &#8220;Analyze This,&#8221; its sequel &#8220;Analyze That&#8221; and &#8220;The Opposite of Sex.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Former stars of &#8220;Seinfeld&#8221; have mostly found that success hard to top. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander each had a flop after the show ended. Alexander is trying again with the freshman series &#8220;Listen Up&#8221; on CBS.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No idea why Seinfeld was important to note, since Kudrow didn&#8217;t star in it, nor did the article mention anything about Seinfeld cast members before that.  Perhaps it&#8217;s a product tie-in with the new Seinfeld DVDs.  Who knows?  Who cares?  I have four and a half discs of Buck Rogers to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From an entertainment story at CNN entitled Lisa Kudrow set for &#8216;Comeback&#8217;.
