New Viz: Jerry Seinfeld's Girlfriends
Back in July, I posted a viz about my favorite show ever, Seinfeld. In that viz, I explored the most commonly recurring characters on the show. If you haven't seen it, I hope you will check it out.
In reality, this isn't what I was expecting to visualize. For a long time, I've wanted to visualize all the women that Jerry dated in the show. The reason I wanted to do this is that so many of them went on to become huge stars (and some were already big stars). I've tried building this viz off and on for four years, but could never find something that worked. Yada yada yada, I found a good way. It's a timeline with just a bit of data, but for me, it was a fun jog down memory lane. Note that it's 20,000 pixels tall...I had to hack the xml to make it big enough for all the data :)
So no more yapping from me, introducing Jerry's Girls. (Click the link or click the full image below).
Thanks!

You forgot about Elaine.
ReplyDeleteI actually addressed it at the top. She was in 177 of 180 episodes, so yada yada yada I left her out.
DeleteYada yada yada -- Ha!! 😂
DeleteDOH...I yada yada yada didn't read it.
DeleteThis is missing several women he was dating (Melanie - one pea at a time), (Lena - AIDS walk list), (Christie - black and white dress). Why would Sue Ellen be there who he didn't even date, but not those three?
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I got the data from https://seinfeld.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Jerry%27s_Girlfriends, but it does have some holes. I tried to plug them the best that I could using data from several sources. I clearly missed a few.
DeleteIn regards to Sue Ellen Mishke, I thought the same thing. However, several sites reference her as one of his "girlfriends" (not just this Wiki site). The following website (as well as many others) state: Sue Ellen Mischke (Brenda Strong) appearing in several episodes, Jerry only gets involved with her briefly in "The Caddy. https://www.yesteryearretro.com/2023/04/a-list-of-all-of-jerrys-girlfriends-on.html
