I don't think any decisions have been made on possible spinoffs. But I doubt very seriously if they would consider a Kramer spinoff. Kramer is very funny in a supporting role, but there is no way you could sustain that kind of humor week after week in a starring role. That's the reason they never did a "Norm" or a "Cliff" spinoff from "Cheers". Frasier was chosen for the spinoff because it was felt he had more dimension as a character and could grow and develop over several seasons (which he has done). He also works well in an ensemble type show, which how most comedies are done these days. The star of an ensemble show has to be a straight man (at least part of the time) to allow the loony supporting characters to play off of him. Norm and Cliff would not be able to do this, nor could Kramer. Kramer is strictly a supporting character, and I doubt if even Michael Richards would want to continue the role in a starring role. George would be a much better choice, though I doubt Jason Alexander wants to continue the role.

Rick Marshall

First of all its Frasier, and all the cast members agreed not to do any spinoffs from Seinfeld.

Oh, I get it. Seinfeld leaves New York and Frasier moves into Jerry's apartment, right? :P I don't think Frasier and Kramer would get along. :)
