When a series like “Seinfeld” not only goes on for nine seasons but also leaves fans wanting more, the writers and producers had to have been doing something right. In January 1993 midway through Season 4, when co-creator and star Jerry Seinfeld spoke to now-disgraced Charlie Rose, he explained that the show benefited from being a “handmade production.” In other words, it was able to stay away from corporate interference. “This is a sitcom that is not processed through [a] network, through a large studio system,” Seinfeld added.
Seinfeld noted that there weren’t too many cooks in the kitchen either. “It’s a few people working on this thing,” he said, “and we’re just doing what we think it’s funny.” Seinfeld rightfully reiterated the fact that the lead actors played a huge part in the show’s success as well. “It’s an amazing group of talent, I mean each one of the people in our cast could easily hold down their own show,” he declared.

When looking back at “Seinfeld,” there was at least one other cast member that made the show what it was. In March 2002 — a little less than four years after the show ended — Julia Louis-Dreyfus told Rose that the series gave her a lot of creative satisfaction. “It was just a great group of people at the right place at the right time,” she said. “And we had a lot of fun, we enjoyed the process and I think that translated.”
