Here's a Seinfeld poll I'm conducting, just e-mail it to me or post it on the board: Here are the Categories....... (Note: Don't make any huge explanations please, and if you want to make an explanation keep it short)
What show should replace Seinfeld at 9 on Thursday nights? "3rd Rock From the Sun" or possibly "Mad About You."
Do you think the show that replaces Seinfeld will be: (as good) (better) (worse)? Conceivably as good, but probably worse...at least in my opinion. Although NBC will need something dang good to keep the lineup going on Thursdays...the 9:00 spot is the strongest one of the night, stringing the others along.
If Jerry Seinfeld signed on for a tenth season, would it be: (as good as the past few seasons) (not as good) (better) or (terrible)? As good, possibly better.
Do you think that Seinfeld's finale will beat M*A*S*H's 66 million viewer record? No doubt about it.
Which one of the fab four would have the most successful spinoff? Tough call. I frankly don't think a spinoff would work (as the folks at "Seinfeld" feel), regardless of who was in it. You need them all for it to work...they're too codependent.
Pick three secondary characters who should be in the final episode. Babu, Newman (does he count as a secondary character?), Crazy Joe Davola, and...Susan and/or Russell Dalrymple! Wouldn't that be a trip? It probably wouldn't work well though...the whole "back from the dead" thing.
What should the final scene of the final episode be? Yikes...this is why I'm not a writer! I know Julia Louis-Dreyfus sort of wants them all to drive off a cliff, but Larry David says it won't happen...just as well. Although it might be funny to see this really heartwarming thing, big group hugs at the end, then the y drive off into the sunset and suddenly go careening off a cliff. Of course, now that I've said this where it's possible that a "Seinfeld" writer or affiliate could see it, it'll never happen - to much fear of being sued. It's just as well, though...not really what I'd like to see. I don't know about the masses. :-)
