It is not uncommon for repetitive characters of a popular sitcom to get successful spin-off shows. For example, "happy days" created "Lavern and Shirley" and "Morot and Mindy", the latest of which came from what was first thought of as an "terrible" episode scenario.. (There is also "Anoani Loves Chachi", though as the saying goes, you can't win everyone.) At the other end of the spectrum, you have shows like Seinfeld, which attracted the impressive audience during the day, but you didn't give birth to any kind of spin-off series.

However, it was not for the lack of an attempt that the "show for nothing" had nothing through spin-off. Actor George Costa Asoneyson Alexander has set several ideas for spin-offOne of which would focus on Cosmo Kramer's lawyer (Michael Richards), Jackkeepi Chili (Phil Morris), who was a parody of OJ Simpson defender Noni Cochran. And, as it turns out, Morris made a similar terrain, as he said at the 1999 press event (through Chicago Tribune) that he develops a spin-off that will see his character of a lawyer who quickly talked as "a very strict white law firm". He added that Seinfeld's co-creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David were on the board as executive producers and hoped for the launch of the 1999 Mid-1999 Network of Parental Show NBC.

The series, as Morris explained, is unlikely to have any of the main team of Seinfeld, as the actor suspected that Richards was ready to reproduce Kramer. "Jululia (Louis-Dreyfus) is not so interested in another week of grinding and I don't think Jason is either," he continued. "Jackacks has its own energy and conflicts. Go out of there."

During the same press, Phil Morris explained why he thought the time was right for Jackkeepi's spin-off, saying his experience playing the character in Honda's series, convinced him that the audience wanted to see more of Kramer's lawyer on their television screens. "They gave us the feeling that this character would exist outside the Seinfeld franchise, he was referring to him. "The public would not let him go. Since the last episode, people have tried to try for something that reminded them of Seinfeld." The actor also pointed out that Jerryi himself gave him his blessing after he initially rejected the field. Those were his correct words, "Morris recalls.

While Morris seemed very optimistic about his show's chances of getting Greenlit, the NBC's response when he was asked to comment on the potential spin-off, essentially intertwined cold water throughout the affair. A spokesman told San Francisco Chronicle That the network was not aware of Morris' field for Jackkeepi Chils to get his own series. "This is the first we hear about it," the representative said. "It's a news to the network."

It was approximately the last one to hear about Chili's possible spin-off, and probably too.

If it is done properly, the parodies of key figures from many legal cases such as the trial of OJ Simpson can work quite well. Remember when Noni Cochran (expressed by Trey Parker) entered the South Park Universe and represented the chef (Isaac Chase) in the episode of Season 2 "Chef Aid"? The parody, as well as "Chewbacca's defense" by Cochran, made sense (without intention of intending) because the lawyer was a character with one blow-not. Season 14 now covered episodes "200" and "201" And besides. Meanwhile, even only a 10-episode season of spin-off jackers Chils will be tired and repetitive; He was good at small doses of Seinfeld, but there are only so many ways you can keep a parody of a celebrity of real life interesting as the main character of a weekly sitcom.

In addition, characters based on people from high -profile cooling water events can be quickly dated. While today's viewers can enjoy most of Seinfeld without asking older friends or relatives to explain jokes and references, it is unlikely to refer to the proposed spin-off of Phil Morris-which is this Jackkeepers, and why should it be funny? Lastly, there is a possibility of racially insensitive humor and stories that go into the mixture, given how Chile was to be a lonely black lawyer in a company of trapped, white lawyers of white books. What could be funny in 1999 can be interpreted as insensitive to a more modern audience.

Everything is to say that Morris-and Seinfeld fans have drawn a bullet when nothing came from his spin-off field.
