Would Seinfeld Spin-offs Work???
mitchel...@yahoo.com
I think a George show might be too boring, after all, how much Woody
Allen can one stand?
The Elain show? I like Elain, I could look at her for the rest of my
life. But with a show of her own? I just don't know. I still
remember all those awful spin-offs from the Mary Tyler Moore show back
in the '70s, I hated them.
I think the only show that shows promise is the Kramer show. I realize
they already tried this, but he wasn't Kramer. If he could continue
the K-man character, and play off other characters, that might work.
Or, perhaps he could buy Monk's and we could see the other Seinfeld
characters come and go, have their usual conversations, etc.
They need to do something, it's been 7 years since the show ended and
we've yet to see much of anything. It won't be long and this next
generation will look at Seinfeld the way we look at the Honeymooners,
past-tense and something only old farts watch.

Maybe Kramer and Neuman and Franklin
Delano Rosevelt (or whatever the guys name
was that put the hex on Kramer.) And they
could round up a few of the old cast members
as well. All the obscure ones that related to only
Kramer and Newman. No Babs tho, the poor dear is gone.
I'd wanna see Thor Eckman again too. He would have to
be good for a semiregular on a Bizarro World Seinfeld spinoff.
In other words, life in ny (slumming it.)

Of course not. They're not THAT stupid.

Why? Have you ever heard of AfterMASH? Or that god-awful Brady Bunch show
20 years later?
You think 3 DVD box sets, with an additional set coming every six months for
the next 3 years, featuring interviews, outtakes, and new material, is
considered not yet seeing much of anything?
George prided himself on leaving the room on a high note. The show did as
well (well, not quite, as seasons 7-9 were on a downhill path). The show
was a gem, an icon. Any follow-on/spinoff would forever grossly tarnish the
original show's image, and you know that. Any character leading a new life
with new friends other than the other three will never work. What worked
was the four of them, together, like the Beatles. Also, Kramer is now 56
years old. Pretty soon he'll be the one with the false teeth, a valuable
vinyl LP collection, and a girlfriend with a goiter. Newman was funny
because he was overweight (sad but true). He is no longer.
As Kramer said, "It's SOOOOO played."
Sorry. Enjoy the reruns.

Jason Alexander (George) has been in a sitcom that is currently on the air
called "Listen Up"
Michael Richards (Kramer) Tried a failed detective sitcom a couple of years
ago.
Julia Louis Dreyfus (Elaine) was in a cancelled sitcom called "Ellie" two
years ago.
Jerry Seinfeld never needs to work again.
SO the answer to Seinfeld spin-offs is NO, they don't work.

Jason, Michael, and Julia are/have been in shows after Seinfeld ended does
not mean these are Seinfeld spinoffs. A spinoff would be if Jason portrayed
George Costanza, or Michael portrayed Kramer, or Julia portrayed Elaine
Benes in a new show. Since none of these characters were reprised, the
shows you mentioned are not spinoffs.
Regardless, a Seinfeld spinoff would not work either. See my prior post.

Not anymore. Not since the DVD's came out.

That was a pathetic show! JLD is such a pearl in Seinfeld
that it was real sad to have to experience that "Watching
Ellie" rubbish.
It seems they took this rather small woman, stitched on a
pair of rubber tits and then attempted to make a TV series
of her rubber cleavage.
Totally embarrasing. She must regret having done that!

Wait a second, if you're here, and Lars is also here, then who's watching the
Saab factory?

The Swedish are very big massagers. They like the swedish meatballs,
swedish massage. They like having meat in their hands these people, for
some reason. But it's weird because they have the highest suicide rate,
they're rubbing each other's necks all the time. For a neutral country
they seem kinda tense.

That is a myth. The suicide rate in Sweden is just slightly
above average.

This blog is right to the point, and very brief. You can read
it in a minute or two.
We have statistics on many things. One of them is that
the swedes eat less meat than just about any other
europeans.

Hey. I'm going to tell you what I think. I know you don't care
what I think, but I'm going to tell you. I think that you are
terrific!

That's because you don't count lutefisk as meat. Nor does anyone else.
