1 Seinfeld Character Tried (& Failed) To Get A Spinoff

 Actor Phil Morris had a solid idea for a Seinfeld derivation, but failed to get it off the ground, despite a hustle good of Jackie Chiles himself. 

 


 Phil Morris, who played the cherished Seinfeld character Jackie Chiles, tried and failed to launch a derivation series after the show had ended. Chiles was a parody of the flamboyant counsel Johnnie Cochrane, who had represented celebrities similar as Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, and most specially,O.J. Simpson. In the show, Jackie Chiles was the counsel of Cosmo Kramer( Michael Richards), and represented him in several ludicrous court cases between Seinfeld seasons 7 and 9. 

 

 Over the times, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld have had no interest in derivatives and Jerry lately made his studies clear on why a Seinfeld reanimation will not be. Given the huge success of Seinfeld, it's surprising that the response to a derivation idea was mooted, as networks are generally reticent to give up their most popular shows. One of the most popular sitcoms on television when Seinfeld ended in 1997 was Frasier, itself a derivation from the megahit show Cheers. A Seinfeld derivation, thus, feels like commodity NBC may have considered, still, it's noway been clear just how far the proposed Jackie Chiles derivation got in terms of development. 

 

 Seinfeld's Jackie Chiles Spinoff Show Explained 

 News about a implicit Jackie Chiles derivation show appeared in The Chicago Tribune on July 24, 1999. Under the caption" SEINFELD' MAY BE GONE BUT JACKIE CHILES LIVES" the review reported that Phil Morris was developing the show for NBC, who had first turndown. Morris described the show as being a legal sitcom set at" a veritably austere white law establishment" where" sparks will fly". To Morris' credit, Jackie Chiles representing a string of oddball guests to the chagrin of his stuffier law establishment associates feels like a great sitcom idea. 

 

 Given the fashionability of Seinfeld, and the success of DavidE. Kelley's legal comedy- drama Ally McBeal on Fox, it appears that Phil Morris' pitch was timed impeccably. still, it's hard to find farther citation of a Jackie Chiles show after the original advertisement, suggesting that there was lower of an appetite to see Phil Morris duplication the Jackie Chiles character than he firstly allowed . While Morris continued to portray Jackie for several commercials, the Jackie Chiles show noway came to pass. 

 

 Was Jackie Chiles' Seinfeld Spinoff Ever A Serious Consideration? 

 For a 1999 report on the implicit derivation by the San Francisco Chronicle, TV Columnist John Carman approached NBC for a comment on the story. A spokesman responded that a Seinfeld derivation was" news to the network," suggesting that, despite Morris' assertion that NBC had first turndown, the network had not indeed been communicated . Morris said that Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld would superintendent- produce the Jackie Chiles derivation, but this was probably an magnification to hopefully foster hype around the implicit design. 

 

 Tellingly, Morris mentioned that Jerry Seinfeld rejected the original pitch, which lines up with the comic's repeated station that he did not want to ruin the Seinfeld heritage by returning to it. So it's delicate to square Seinfeld's station with an administrative patron credit on a derivation. supposedly, Jerry latterly telephoned Phil Morris up about the proposed derivation and told him he would" be a big- time television star", which sounds more like words of stimulant from aco-star rather than an agreement to superintendent produce a sitcom. In the times since Seinfeld ended, Phil Morris has had an expansive list of television credits proving that he did not really need a Jackie Chiles derivation to come a big- time television star.
