is the worst f@cking sit-com I've ever seen! I only saw last Tues. (11/14) episode. If every American sit-com ever aired were in a sit-com rainbow, SEINFELD would be on one end and THE MICHAEL RICHARDS SHOW would be on the other! IMHO it now replaces FULL HOUSE as the worst sit-com of all time! GOD AWFUL WRITING! Damn, it was bad!
I think you're overreacting. I saw the first few episodes. It's not that bad.
Last week, when they brought up Pengo, the ancient video game with the penguin who pushed the ice blocks, I was hooked. I loved that game. More than George loved Frogger, I loved Pengo.
Even if the show was half-way decent ...IMO that kramer quirkyness must stick with a "KRAMER". I don't know if that production has any affiliation with Seinfeld other than NBC, but whoever was in charge...it was a BAD idea to start with. I don't know if it would have worked, but they should have spun it off....like "Frasier" and of'course keep the story on the east coast.
This way they can always have special appearances by the original folks of Seinfeld and provide some sort of a real FIX of sorts for die hard fans. I'm sure they thought of this, but it puzzles me how easily bad decisions are made. Either that or some greedy right holder didn't allow that level of similarity...YET!
Even a spinoff called NEWMAN could have potential. Somewhere down the line though someone seriously SOLD OUT with a bad idea. I bet Jerry himself knew this idea would flop.

If Jerry thought a Newman or Kramer spin-off would be a flop (and he would have been right, imho) and he allowed it to happen anyway, THAT would be seriously selling out.
The only real affiliation is the people who moved from "Seinfeld" to work on the "Michael Richards" show. Kravet, Feresten, Mamann-Greenberg, Robbin, and I am sure a few others. They thought they could bring the "Seinfeld" magic with them. Well witness "It's Like You Know" - with a huge Seinfeld contingent and Carol Leifer's "Alright Already", . . . ALL FLOPPED!
Why? Because the magic genius came from Jerry and Larry David.
