Now that Seinfeld has come to an end so has my poll. Thanks to all of you who participated! For those who are first finding this page be sure to check out the results of all the previous polls.
- Kramer's World
- The Many Neuroses of George
- Newman: The Man, The Myth, The Mail
- Benes in Venice
I got a LOT of interesting replies to this poll. Just so you know, I wasn't actually suggesting that any of them actually come into existance. I just wanted you to vote on whose antics you will miss most. That said, here are the results:
- Kramer's World - 62%
- The Many Neroses of George - 21%
- Newman: The Man, The Myth, The Mail - 3%
- Benes in Venice - 14%
A LARGE majority of you would like to see more of Kramer, and who can blame you? Here are some of the more interesting replies:
Kramer's World
Kramer's World because deep down, we all know that we want to learn how to be
more like cosmo.
The Many Neroses of George
George is the only one who could pull off a spinoff by himself. Too much of
the others is a bad thing.
Benes in Venice
I'm going to have to pull for "Benes in Venice." George gets on my nerves
after a while, so does Kramer, and Newman-well. I love watching Elaine
pushing everyone-"GET OUT!!" I hope Jerry and Elaine get together in the end.
I can't stand that Puddy guy. (Get a real name!)
Seinfeld Fans in Other Countries
I guess it'd have to be a combination of the four, plus Jerry Seinfeld, and it
would take place in some big town such as...umm...N.Y.? Yeah, I think that
would pretty much do for one more season of GREAT comedy. We (myself, wife &
kids) are brazilian, we live in the city of São Paulo and absolutely love
this show. We get it through cable, and we are literally despondent over its
discontinuing. Of course, the spin-offs will probably be very good, and
there's always re-runs, but "Seinfeld" is so consistently good that it gets to
be a real shame...

Many of you were upset that I would even suggest the idea of Seinfeld spin-offs. Here are a few:
Nicely put
Nothing could compare to seinfeld.
Undecided
I am not sure if I wat any spin offs from this show but it would be nice i
guess.
Doubtful
None. I don't think any spin off would be successful.
Calm down! And turn off your caps lock!
NO SPINOFFS! SPINOFFS ALWAYS FAIL. JUST ALLOW THE GREATEST SHOW IN HISTORY TO
DIE WITH DIGNITY FOR PETE'S SAKE!
Lighten up buddy! It's just a silly poll!
I am truly ashamed that people who call themselves "True Seinfeld fans"
would want to see a sequel or spin-off. As much as we all love the show,
"spinning it off" would insult it, make it like all the other cheap,
unoriginal shows. And if you really were a "True Seinfeld fan" you
should know that unoriginality is not the essence of Seinfeld. It was a
once in a lifetime show that can and never will or should be duplicated,
imitated, or spun off. For the sake of Seinfeld itself, and all of the
true Seinfeld fans who know what the show was really about, don't try to
recreate it, because you will only end up hurting not only the show's good
name but also it's essence of pure originality. I will leave you with
this: Seinfeld it perfect, just the way it is. Don't mess with
perfection.
Many of you decided to ignore my choices completely and give your own suggestion for a spin-off. Here are a few of those:
Seinfelds final episode should have George win the lottery, and his parents move in with HIM! The spin-off would be called 'The Costanza's'
I would like to see a spin-off with both Jerry and George's parents. Maybe they would move to a condo in Florida together!
George and Kramer-The Oddest Couple.
I think these two characters are the funniest on TV.
George loves Elaine loves Kramer loves Money
Actually, I would rather see "Cosmo's Place" or "Cosmo in the City" (Kramer's world just wouldn't be funny) Truthfully, I would rather see "Costanza is Crazy", which would take placxe in a asylum.
