Summary
Who is your favoriteSeinfeldcharacter?
Instead, it was titledThe Seinfeld Chronicles.
Elaine Benes would show up as Jerry’s ex-girlfriend in the next episode.
It wasnot hard for Elaine to stand out as the only woman in the group of friends.
That minority status wasn’t the only reason whyElaine became such a big part ofSeinfeld.
That doesn’t mean George faded away.
Then came the time when George shockingly wasn’t in aSeinfeldepisode at all.
Jerry taking the pen was a bad move, as he wasn’t supposed to accept it.
(Kramer wasn’t in"The Chinese Restaurant"from Season 2 either.)
For Jason Alexander, this was incredibly frustrating.
“Dont tell me your problems.
If you dont need me here, I dont want to be here.”
The co-creator walked away from the biggest show on TV.
Alexander wasn’t beingGeorge Costanza-level selfish, though.
It wasSeason 4 whenSeinfeldreally took offas a pop culture phenomenon.

Season 4 is whenSeinfeldreally let loose.
Season 5 focused on George withclassic episodes like “The Marine Biologist"and “The Opposite.”
This is whenJason Alexander’s annual Emmy nominations happened.
That would have all been lost if Jason Alexander had quit.
This Season 9 episode caused a justifiable uproar.
If Jason Alexander had leftSeinfeld, the series couldn’t have continued on.
Talent like that can’t be allowed to get away.
