The Show Was Originally Titled “The Seinfeld Chronicles”
“Seinfeld” was originally supposed to be a 90-minute special including mostly stand-up with Jerry Seinfeld. Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld ended up creating a 30-minute pilot for a show instead and, honestly, that was probably a better decision. The pilot was originally titled “The Seinfeld Chronicles,” but from then on out they changed it to “Seinfeld.”
