Rejected “Seinfeld” Episodes

1. George contracts AIDS.
2. Citing financial “troubles”, Kramer goes to work @ McDonalds’s on Time Square, becoming the most beloved Ronald McDonald since Willard Scott. Realizing that the love of children is enough to sustain him, he moves out of his apartment and denounces Jerry, George, and Elaine. Especially Elaine.
3. Newman literally “goes postal” at work.
4. Jerry adopts two adorable moppets and there is a sweet moment at the end of the episode where they have some ice cream and learn a lesson.
5. George continues to ignore his first instincts and runs for political office where he becomes Mayor of New York in a landslide.
6. Jerry and the gang are trapped in an out-of-state snowstorm, so the entire episode revolves around the Soup Nazi.
