Who was the greater character - George or Kramer?

I'd probably go with George but Kramer is a great character too.

That was really the strength of the show, it didn't rely on any one character to provide the laughs. All four main characters were funny in different ways and complimented each other.

The support/guest characters were brilliant as well with quite a few of them going on to star in other shows.

My all time fav Seinfeld moment was probably the bit where George was trying to explain to Susan's dad over dinner that his cabin had burnt down all while stuffing food into his mouth at the same time. Classic.
 
Speaking of Seinfeld spinoffs...

'Seinfeld' character Jackie Chiles reborn

Outrageous! Egregious! Preposterous!

More than a decade after "Seinfeld" ended, one of the TV series' most beloved characters has been reborn online. Jackie Chiles, the fast-talking attorney whose civil lawsuits were dependably foiled by Kramer, is starring in his own series on the comedy video website Funny or Die.

Chiles is played by Phil Morris, a 41-year-old Los Angeles actor who never wanted to fully relinquish the role. After "Seinfeld" ended in 1998, Morris tried to develop a spin-off about Chiles, but it didn't get off the ground.

"It always kind of festered in me that that was an opportunity missed, that the public missed something, that I missed something," Morris said. "It was always in me to do. As an actor, you rarely get characters that are as full as a Jackie Chiles, where I can just put on the suit and the mustache and - Boom! - he's there."

Chiles, a parody of O.J. Simpson's late defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, appeared in five episodes on "Seinfeld," including the finale. Kramer (Michael Richards) comes to him repeatedly to sue over things like hot coffee burning him (because he hid a cup in his pants at a movie theater) and the graying of his face from cigar smoke ("Your face is my case," Chiles says).

In another episode, Chiles helps Kramer sue over the public indecency of another character, Sue Ellen Mischke, who was wearing only a bra as a top.

Though Jackie calls it "lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!," he's undone in the trial, when - much like the glove in the O.J. Simpson trial - Mischke tries on the bra and it doesn't fit.

In the Funny or Die clips, Jackie has moved his practice to Los Angeles. He announces his return: "Did you miss me? I knew that you did. But I'm back and I'm badder and madder than ever."

As for what he has been doing the past 12 years, Jackie says "none of your business." But he does add another factoid from his past, claiming that Barack Obama was his paralegal before he went into politics and became president.

Working with a Funny or Die production team, Morris made five clips. Two have been released and the rest will come out gradually. Though mainly an actor by trade, Morris wrote them himself, along with actor-writer Whit Hertford.

"I had to write these spots in the tone of the 'Seinfeld' universe," Morris said. "I know this character. I know this guy."

To bring back Chiles, Morris first had to get permission from "Seinfeld" production company Castle Rock Entertainment, and the go-ahead from the show's creators, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.

"We always enjoyed Phil's ability to bring that character to life," Seinfeld said. "Glad that it's living on..."​

FRANK: Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The

rooster goes with the chicken. So, who's having sex with the hen?

GEORGE: Why don't we talk about it another time.

FRANK: But you see my point here? You only hear of a hen, a rooster and a

chicken. Something's missing!

MRS. ROSS: Something's missing all right.

MR. ROSS: They're all chickens. The rooster has sex with all of them.

FRANK: That's perverse.

GEORGE: So what do you care?

(George walks away leaving Jerry standing there by himself)

Love the ep with George and the doll that looks like his mum.
DOLL: Georgie! Don't eat with your hands! (George starts eating faster) Why do you eat so fast?! You can't even taste it!

GEORGE: (Losing it) Don't tell me how to eat!

(People from near-by tables turn and look at him)

DOLL: You're wearing that shirt? You've had it for five years already! Why don't you get a new shirt?!

GEORGE: (Trying to keep it down) Because I like this one! (Notices people staring at him, he quickly gets up, collecting the his coat and the tiny replica) C'mon, let's go. Let's go!
