Kramer Or Goerge??

I was watching the emmies the other day and was thinking. Who is more important to the show Kramer or Goerge? Yes I know without 1 of those the show won't be the same. But I'm throwing this question out. Email me if you agree disagree/comments.

I think although I'm a big Kramer fan he doesn't have nearly as much importance in the show as George, George seems he has a lot more lines and is the #2 guy. Kramer is good if they need a quick laugh. Also it doesn't make sense, Kramer doesn't work yet he still lives pretty good. :) Well email me with your comments. Thanks, bye

Well, I agree with you in saying George is MUCH more important to the show because he is the #2 guy. (#1 if you ask me ;-)

However, Kramer beat out George and won the Emmy for "Best Supporting
Actor in a Sitcom".

Definately Kramer. He's a more necessary part of the show than George.

George is based on Larry David, who is the real life genius behind the show, its' true creator. I believe the George character, played by the genius Jason Alexander, does the most for the show. George has the most neuroses and quirks, and makes us feel embarrased, which makes us LAUGH. The fact that he is believable and credible is a tribute to Mr. Alexander.

Kramer/Michael Richards, Elaine, and Jerry add a lot to the show as well. The show wouldn't be as funny without the balance of all of them. But it seems to me that Larry made himself (George) the star, and gave Jerry credit.

IMO.

Kramer and George are equally important to the Seinfeld show because they are really a classic comedy team. Each character has exact the opposite characteristics of the other. One is tall and thin, the other short and fat. One is losing his hair, the other has too much hair on top of his head. George can't get a date, Kramer always has attractive women after him. George is perpetually unemployed, Kramer is apparently independently wealthy. This juxtaposition of personalities has a long history in comedy (i.e. Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy to name just a couple).

George and Kramer are actually a lot more funny than Seinfeld, but I think that's also part of the joke - a standup comedian who isn't really funny in everyday life. I think this also a little slice of reality. Standup comedians I have known usually aren't the least bit when they're not on stage.
