Actor Seinfeld tried to put his own back (and it sounds awful)

This is not uncommon for recurrent characters in a popular sitque to get successful spin shows. For example, “happy days” gave rise to “Laverne & Shirley” and “Mork & Mindy”, the last of which emerged from what was first considered as a “horrible” episode script. (Also, there is “Joanni loves”, although, as they say, you can’t defeat them all.) At the other end of the spectrum you have a show like “Seinfeld”, which attracted an impressive audience that day but gave birth to a spin-off series.

However, it was not for the absence of attempts to “show about anything” has nothing because of the spin-off. Actor George Kostanka Jason Alexander posted a couple of ideas from the backOne of which would be focused on Kosma Kramer’s lawyer (Michael Richards) Jackie Chiles (Phil Morris), who was a parody of Oh Simpson Johnny Cocron. And as it turns out, Morris made a similar step, as stated at the 1999 press (via the Chicago Tribune) that he developed a spin-off that would see his quick lawyer who works in a “very strict white law firm”. He added that co -authors “Seinfeld” Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David were aboard the executive producers, and that he hoped for the 1999 average of the parent show, NBC.

As Morris explained, no one of the main acting “Seinfeld” would probably not participate, as the actor doubted that Richards was in favor of Kramer’s repression. “Julius (Louis-Dreyfuss) is not interested in another weekly grinding, and I don’t think Jason is too,” he continued. “Jackie has its energy and conflicts. We’ll go from there.”

During the same press event, Phil Morris explained why he felt that time was coming to Jackie Chilz’s back, saying his experience was playing a character in a series of Honda commercials, convinced him that the audience wanted to see more Kramer’s lawyer on television screens. “They made it sense that this hero exists on the border of the” Seinfeld “franchise,” he connected. “The public did not release him. Since the last episode, people have sought to remind them of “Seinfeld”. “He said, ‘You know, you’re right. Time for this guy. He is a killer. You’ll be the stars of television television. “These were his exact words,” Morris reminded.

While Morris seemed very optimistic compared to the chances of his show, which would receive Greenlit, the NBC response, if asked to comment on the potential spin-off, essentially poured with cold water throughout the case. Press -secretary said Chronicle in San Francisco The fact that the network did not know about the step of Morris to get his own series. “This is the first thing we hear about it,” the representative said. “This is the news on the net.”

It was almost the last one who heard about the possible spin-off chili, and it is probably just as good.

If done correctly, the parodies of key figures from widely advertised court cases such as the lawsuit over the murder of OJ Simpson can work pretty well. Remember when Johnny Kohran (voiced by Trey Parker) entered the universe “South Park” and represented the boss (Isaac Haye) in the episode of 2 season “chef”? The parody, as well as the “defense of Chewbacca” Cocron, made sense (no pun) because the lawyer was a one-off character-his technically posthumous, indisputable comedy in Season 14, which are now killed by episodes “200” and “201” Despite this. Meanwhile, even in the 10-epic season, Jackie Chilz’s back would be tired and repeated; It was good in small doses on “Seinfeld”, but there are only so many ways to keep the parody of the celebrity of real life as the main character in the weekly sitque.

In addition, characters based on people from high -profile events with the cooler can quickly become dated. While modern viewers can enjoy most “Seinfeld” without asking older friends and relatives to explain jokes and links, the same would probably not turn to the proposed Phil Morris-Who Jackie Chils, and why should he be ridiculous? Finally, there is an opportunity for racially-sensitive humor and storylines that broke into the mixture, given how Chile was supposed to become a lonely black lawyer in a fool, white lawyers. What could be fun in 1999 could be explained as an insensitive for a more modern audience.

Everything to say is that Morris-and Seinfeld’s fans were erupted from the bullet, when nothing came from his steps behind the spin-off.
