Seinfeld

“Seinfeld”

It took Julia Louis-Dreyfus just one failed sitcom, “Watching Ellie,” to land CBS’ “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” a role that’s also earned her Emmy gold. But her “ Seinfeld” colleagues have not been as lucky. Jason Alexander bombed in both “Bob Patterson” and “Listen Up!” and Michael Richards‘ “The Michael Richards Show” barely got off the ground.
