If there is going to be a spinoff...
Shelton Garner8 posters
๐Ÿคฏ Prediction๐Ÿ™‚ Liked it๐Ÿ”ฅ Controversialโ“ Unresolved

A Seinfeld spinoff will be made featuring either Elaine or Kramer as the lead character.

Fans debate which character would be best for a spinoff series, with opinions split between Elaine and Kramer as the most viable options for carrying their own show.

Best of the morning after

โ€œActually, it's never really been clear whether Newman is his first or last name.โ€

โ€œSo George can have an aneurism as a plot device?โ€

โ€œWhen it comes to making comedy out of candy, Twix is no Pez, or Junior Mints for that matter.โ€

โ€œI'm sure that the genii running NBC will put Frasier on at 9pm (after Kelsey Grammer somehow makes them pay a king's ransom), but I think that a bold move would be to put "Working" in the slot.โ€

โ€œBecause the writing has no quality anymore.โ€

โ€œRatboy and I AGREE on something!!!โ€
