Read our privacy policy Jerry Seinfeld has revealed that he found writing the storylines on his hit 1990s sitcom Seinfeld “dreary”. “Even in the early years of Seinfeld I had difficulty focusing on the story aspects of the show,” he wrote. “I would only perk up when Larry and I got to writing the dialogue and we needed funny lines for the characters to say.” “I got better at story structure as the years went on but still find that kind of work a bit dreary,” he added. Seinfeld, who also starred in Seinfeld along with Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards, remained on the series up until the end of its final ninth season, while David departed the show two seasons earlier.
