Eh, I honestly don't think so.

I mean, Seinfeld is VERY dated already. So many of the plot points hinged on the ignorance of the characters or characters barely missing each other. We fill that void in our lives with a smartphone today.

Seriously an iPhone would undo half the show. All those plot points of them barely missing each other, or waiting for something? iPhone fixes it. Plot points where someone (a lot of the time George) doesn't have a key piece of info? In 2016 Siri would tell it to him. Plot points about them not getting somewhere or needing a car (or finding a car)? An iPhone plus Uber fixes that (or just Google Now telling them where their car is parked). Hell the most famous episode ever- the Soup Nazi- would all be about giving him a shitty yelp review in 2016.

My point being that there is NO way that kids of today who are basically born with a smartphone in their hand can relate, let alone kids born in the future. Seinfeld is like The Honeymooners, very locked in its times right down to the music. Which is fine, it was the most brilliant comedy ever in its time.
