The Mouse in Prime Time

I was watching a Mickey Mouse program with my grandson when it suddenly occurred to me: I wasn't watching Mickey Mouse and friends---I was watching "Seinfeld." The level-headed Mickey is Jerry; the practical, funny, dark-"hair" Minnie is Elaine; the always-complaining Donald Duck is George; and the tall, goofy Goofy is Kramer.

Now I wonder if Jerry Seinfeld originally stole the idea for his television series from the long-
established Mickey Mouse franchise.
