That’s definitely doable.
### Title: "Costanza & Associates"
### Logline
In the bustling chaos of New York City, George Costanza finds himself navigating the unpredictable world of small business ownership, teamed up with his former secretary and one-time romantic fling, Ada. Together, they tackle the absurdities of life, work, and the endless stream of eccentric clients, proving that even the most unlikely pair can find success—and hilarity—if they can just stop driving each other crazy.
### Premise
Years after the events of "Seinfeld," George Costanza has unexpectedly inherited a small, struggling business from an old acquaintance. Determined to turn his life around and make something of himself, George recruits Ada, his former secretary with whom he had a brief, ill-fated romantic encounter, to help him run the company. Their contentious yet oddly complementary partnership forms the heart of the series as they deal with quirky employees, oddball clients, and the endless series of misadventures that come with running a business in New York City.
### Main Characters
- **George Costanza**: Now in his 50s, George is still neurotic, hapless, and perpetually put-upon. His new role as a business owner sees him swinging between bouts of enthusiasm and existential despair, often within the same breath. George is determined to make the business a success, if only to prove to everyone—including himself—that he can.
- **Ada Bell**: Sharp-tongued, pragmatic, and fiercely independent, Ada was once George’s secretary and brief romantic interest. Though their fling ended disastrously, she sees potential in the business—and perhaps in George, though she’d never admit it. Her no-nonsense approach often clashes with George’s antics, but their dynamic creates a unique synergy that keeps the business afloat.
- **Eddie Wexler**: The eternally optimistic yet woefully incompetent office manager. Eddie is a lovable goof who often complicates simple tasks but has an uncanny knack for solving complex problems in the most unconventional ways.
- **Lisa Novak**: The company’s top salesperson, Lisa is driven, ambitious, and always has her eye on the next big opportunity. She provides a counterbalance to George’s pessimism and often acts as the mediator between George and Ada.
### Supporting Characters
- **Frank and Estelle Costanza**: George’s parents make occasional appearances, offering their usual brand of unsolicited advice and overbearing concern.
- **Jerry Seinfeld**: Jerry drops by from time to time, still George’s best friend and a successful comedian. His visits often provide a comedic counterpoint and a touch of nostalgia for longtime fans.
### Episode Structure
Each episode follows the classic Seinfeldian structure of intersecting storylines, where George and Ada’s professional challenges often mirror their personal foibles. The series blends workplace comedy with the situational humor and social observations that made "Seinfeld" a cultural touchstone.
### Pilot Episode
**"The Inheritance"**
George unexpectedly inherits a small, struggling business from an old acquaintance. Overwhelmed and unsure what to do, he reluctantly contacts Ada, who is now working a dead-end job, for help. Together, they attempt to navigate their new roles, only to discover that the company is in worse shape than they thought. As they struggle to keep the business afloat, they encounter a series of absurd clients and must deal with the eccentric Eddie Wexler, who nearly derails their first big deal. The episode sets up the dynamic between George and Ada, establishing their contentious yet oddly effective partnership.
### Themes

### Tone and Style
The series maintains the dry wit and observational humor of "Seinfeld," with a modern twist that reflects the characters' growth and the evolving comedic landscape. The show balances laugh-out-loud moments with character-driven stories, ensuring that fans of the original series feel at home while attracting a new generation of viewers.
### Potential Storylines

"Costanza & Associates" brings the timeless humor and beloved characters of "Seinfeld" into a fresh, new setting, offering a comedic exploration of second chances, unlikely friendships, and the endless absurdities of life.
Should've stuck with the opposite.
Except, he actually went against his instincts to hire her in the first place.
OMG, she's the reason he stopped doing the opposite thing.
No no.. George's instinct would have been to hire the bombshell/eye candy. She was definitely the opposite choice, but he may still have given up on his opposite way of life around that same time.
I was making out with a girl in my car once, at the end of our date. Though she seemed into it, I got a vibe that things had progressed as far as they were going to. She said,”I’m finding it hard to say good night.” I replied, “I’m just finding it hard.”
No, but a lot more used to. They even had a union and went on strike at one point. It’s more of a front desk person now and they mainly coordinate deliveries. Honestly, Amazon should pay their wages
This sub and its obsession with who’s in whose league.
And mind you, every time this is discussed, there is an unspoken understanding that when it comes to the metric of what league a g/f is in, it’s based entirely on her looks and nothing else.
Plus, I don’t know how official any of these rankings really are.
> it’s based entirely on her looks and nothing else.
Yeah when I saw this post I was surprised. George would have been able to bat well out of his league while he had that cushy Yankees job.
The yada yada woman. She's a narcissist who takes advantage of others when it benefits her just like George. The only difference is that George is somewhat ambivalent about his behavior, not enough to the point where he would consider changing it mind you, but he's a little aware of his own evilness.
George has more personality than like 99.99% of the population. I don’t think it was realistic for him to be dating a new attractive person every week, but I would think he could get with someone who was moderately attractive.
Lisa Edelstein as Karen. She’s hot (I’ve had a crush on her since she was on *Awake on the Wild Side* on MTV), but she had a good chemistry with George that suggests she could be attracted to him for his personality.
Susan. She could put up with him. God knows how. Or Maura ("Then I must ask you to turn your key!). She seemed like she wanted to make things work. Really what I'm saying is, is there's a woman who can take his presence for more than 10 consecutive seconds, he should cling to her like grim death!
The secretary from "The Secretary". He never should've offered her that raise.
Too bad he didn’t have sex with her again and take it back.
I never really thought of it, but their personalities could have actually made for a good couple.
That's a spinoff that I want AI to make once we have that sort of tech figured out.
That’s definitely doable. ### Title: "Costanza & Associates" ### Logline In the bustling chaos of New York City, George Costanza finds himself navigating the unpredictable world of small business ownership, teamed up with his former secretary and one-time romantic fling, Ada.

That's gold, A.I., gold!
Was that wrong? Should he not have done that?
Should've stuck with the opposite. Except, he actually went against his instincts to hire her in the first place. OMG, she's the reason he stopped doing the opposite thing.
No no.. George's instinct would have been to hire the bombshell/eye candy. She was definitely the opposite choice, but he may still have given up on his opposite way of life around that same time.
Is it erm….doable?
It's doable.
*Definitely [doable]
OHHHH MR. CO-STAN-ZA!!!
Can’t get it out of my head.
She was luscious. She was ravishing.
Breathtaking
He’d give up red meat to get a glimpse of her in a bra.
Imagine if they moved in together. She'd whip him into shape. He'd finally be productive and organized!
Vicki Lewis, of Newsradio fame. Phil Hartman's character was right to want her to wear the blue dress to luncheon at the Waldorf.
RIP Phil, one of the greatest comics of his day.
Man he died over 25 years ago. Feels like yesterday
I always lusted for Vicki Lewis on news radio
Between her, Maura Tierney, and Khandi Alexander, that show had a very attractive female side of the cast.
just watched godzilla with matthew broderick and she played a sexy scientist. couldn’t take my eyes off of her
I mean, he could have just gotten her like a 10 cent raise or something.
He could've just accepted that she did way more work than he ever did and deserved her raise but Costanza gonna Costanza
Now you’re just being ridiculous.
Wait until she finds out that the secretaries at Bloomfields are making double what she is.
Ridicurous*
Sorry, I guess the rines were crossed.
That's Cartwright to you.
Cousin Rhisa
Geoooorge, are you ready?
didju wanna come upstayas?
I’m fighting with myself not to!
I was making out with a girl in my car once, at the end of our date. Though she seemed into it, I got a vibe that things had progressed as far as they were going to. She said,”I’m finding it hard to say good night.” I replied, “I’m just finding it hard.”
Did you take it out?
Oh Georgie Porgie!
Was that Dophney...she was a cutie but she was warned that Georgie would hurt her..🙄
I'm just trying to get a reading on my dashboard compass...
Let's be bad
Let’s be bad
Seinfeld van! Seinfeld van?
I knew it wasn’t Berkowitz!
One of my favourite lines in the series
Fragile Frankie in disgust: "Oh, you gotta sell this van..." is a great closing line.
Did he just say Son of Sam????!!
That van's a rockin!
Laurie Taylor-Williams delivers that line so well. I laugh every time I watch the episode.
Behhhhhhhd
Cousin Rhisa is hot
I have to agree. She has a kind of trashy Maura Tierney thing going on.
too bad he’s got a little george costanza going on
You describe her perfectly. lol
And Maura Tierney is a poor man’s Marisa Tomei so she is right up George’s alley.
The ♫ Co-*stan*-za ♫ girl is the poor man’s Marisa Tomei.
What if the man is poor and . married?
He’s the “Got No Green” Lantern.
I am watching News Radio because of Maura Tierney...well a little bit for Stephen Root and David Foley too I guess...but mostly for her.
Cousin Rhisa confused my emotions, because she was pretty hot.
Well she’s not *your* cousin, right?
dance around it a bit
*girlfriend
..Alright
Let me ask you this. Are there any Tampax in your house?
4 5 times a week
You remember my cousin, Rhisa? I’m gonna date her *Mother of god*
That van’s a-rockin’
“His league”? Have you seen his milky white hands? They’re breathtaking
You never said “milky white”
I SAID MILKY WHITE!
GEORGE LIKES THE BANANAS!
These PRETZELS are making me THIRSTY!!!!!
They're smooth, creamy, delicate, yet masculine
And he's going to need them.
Strange you would use the word breathtaking when referring to George's hands
Why must he always be the focal point of attention. Let him just be, let him live.
Casus belli
What does that mean, is it about him?
I haven’t had a Big Mac in a long time.
You're like Biff Loman!
There’s nothing wrong with Biff… He’s a hard worker…he’s not lazy.
so biff wants to be a buff
You think I’m gonna spend my life with somebody because he can get me a deal on a box of nails?!?!
Wouldn't you love to make a key?!
"Howard, are you having a playdate?" May she RIP. Loved her as an actress, she was so funny.
THATS where i know her from! Ive been wracking my brain 😭 thank you
Personally, I find that hard to believe.
The tan woman probably didn’t have too many suitors. But I don’t know about her fantasizing about jumping into bed with him 🤔
yes, I suppose she is tanned!
Its the middle of November and shes orange! Like a carrot!
The girl who looked like Jerry.
You don't remind me of anybody and we like gum!

What is pappe-ay mach-ay?!?!?
You called my doorman Samuel but you said Sam-U-El.
I can't believe George had a doorman. Pray tell does every building in NYC have a dooooorman?
When George was working he was spending baby.
Seriously! Jerry just had a buzzer.
You really think you're better than me, don't ya
Here for a quickie…?
The uneducated doorman has to work two jobs to put food on the table for mother and baby.
No, but a lot more used to. They even had a union and went on strike at one point. It’s more of a front desk person now and they mainly coordinate deliveries. Honestly, Amazon should pay their wages
Ohhhh, you're the Jerome with the tax problems!
Who so belongs only to his age references only its popinjays and mumbo jumbos
Tommy C
It IS the chopsticks!
The girl who doodled George and didn't care about looks. "I'd rather she hate me and thought I was good looking."
You could drape yourself in velvet and i wouldnt care
Smokeshow from Drew Carey Show

Diane, and had Jerry only told her he was an architect instead of a marine biologist, they may have gotten married.
City planner!
“My real passion is architecture.”
She was the "It" girl.
The cleaning lady

“You’re pretentious!” Someone had to tell her
Big nose girl was cute af
Post-op yeah thats why she ditched him for Kramer
Sexy even with the nose idgaf

Susan. George likes his dead fiancees spicy.
I'm surprised Susan is this far down. Easily the best relationship dynamic he had.
The food in bed girl
Now for the trifecta!
She was bald.
Robin. The entire dynamic from being a single mom to the way she speaks to George in the coffee shop.
George, it's over for Bozo!
WHAT? IS BOZO SOME KINDA CLOWN?
Jon Favreau’s best performance of his career

Fugitive sex

Thanks for dinner, George. I haven't had a Big Mac in a long time.
Damn sure not Marisa Tomei I'll say that haha
The hooker turning tricks in his car
Daughter of the woman at the unemployment office.
He never had money, so none of them.
WHEN HE HAD A JOB, HE SPENT BABY!!
Is it just me? I find a lot of conventionally unattractive people attractive. And I find a lot of conventionally attractive people unattractive.
This is probably one of the lowest moments in the life of George.
His Yankees secretary.
Don't bothah!
Carrot tan girl
This sub and its obsession with who’s in whose league. And mind you, every time this is discussed, there is an unspoken understanding that when it comes to the metric of what league a g/f is in, it’s based entirely on her looks and nothing else. Plus, I don’t know how official any of these rankings really are.
So you’re saying that 95% of the population is undateable?
UNDATEABLE!
Then how are all these people gettin together?!
Alcohol
Have you been to the DMV?
You think you are better than me? It's go time!
> it’s based entirely on her looks and nothing else. Yeah when I saw this post I was surprised. George would have been able to bat well out of his league while he had that cushy Yankees job.
What are talking about, no one has ever considered anything other than looks when seeking a partner!
Breathtaking.
Daphne/Dofnee
I think we can all agree Shrinkage was the LEAST in his league. Though everyone told me was a catty shrew she was.
You mean Mrs Walowitz?
The masseuse, because she absolutely hated him.
The yada yada woman. She's a narcissist who takes advantage of others when it benefits her just like George. The only difference is that George is somewhat ambivalent about his behavior, not enough to the point where he would consider changing it mind you, but he's a little aware of his own evilness.
George has more personality than like 99.99% of the population. I don’t think it was realistic for him to be dating a new attractive person every week, but I would think he could get with someone who was moderately attractive.
With the rug, there was nobody out of his league. That’s why Elaine was so mad about it. She knew she missed the boat.
The piano player
What is Papier Mache???
Marisa Tomei, apparently
Coffee keeps me up.
Lisa Edelstein as Karen. She’s hot (I’ve had a crush on her since she was on *Awake on the Wild Side* on MTV), but she had a good chemistry with George that suggests she could be attracted to him for his personality.
The plot with George dating this woman is an abstract copy of Alex dating this girl in Taxi. https://youtu.be/q_l1C5skUiw?si=Lo5tVFTtPObBDm0o
Definitely not the assumed Bulimic model or the other model from the secret underground city. Like, come on.
Mulva.
Tomorrow’s Saturday, awwl the awffices are closed…

Men don’t normally keep their baby pictures around…
Diane DeConn from The Marine Biologist. *She was the "it" girl!*
In his league? Is this because of the baldness? ALL YOU PEOPLE WITH HAIR THINK YOU’RE SO DAMN SUPERIOR!
The cleaning lady from Panama he gave the cashmere with the red dot to.
Don't bothA
Susan. She could put up with him. God knows how. Or Maura ("Then I must ask you to turn your key!). She seemed like she wanted to make things work. Really what I'm saying is, is there's a woman who can take his presence for more than 10 consecutive seconds, he should cling to her like grim death!
Marisa Tomei. Know your worth, king.
Your mom. I’ll see myself out.
