Starting Oct. 4, the cast of Seinfeld reunites for five episodes on Curb Your Enthusiasm, the HBO sitcom from Seinfeld co-creator Larry David that a couple million people watch on Sunday night on a good week. Which sums up what's happened in the sitcom world since Seinfeld left. There have been sitcoms in the decade since - even great ones, like Curb and Arrested Development - but no monster hits. As the great comedy explosion of the '90s faded, networks made fewer and fewer new sitcoms, and those that got on the air were eclipsed by dramas and reality shows...

With relentless encouragement from David Mixner - a longtime gay activist and occasional friend of Bill Clinton's - Jones decided to pay attention to all the e-mails he was receiving from 20-something gays who were both angry about Prop 8 and inspired by Milk...
...movement from the East Coast - men and women in their late 30s to early 50s who slogged away at gay causes during the Bush interregnum - were rather dumbstruck at the idea that young gays wanted to march on Washington. "Pointless," one seasoned gay activist told me. "If Cleve and David Mixner have really inspired so many kids to work on our behalf - finally, by the way, because I think these kids spent the early part of this decade playing Nintendo or something - why don't they tell them to go to Maine or Washington this weekend?" This activist was referring...
