[@TimTheMusicMan]

Curb went over the line as it Became perverted. You have to remember the actors on curb make the difference as the writing is in outline. It’s all improvised. And if it weren’t for Leon the later seasons would be ‘ummm’. Funkhauser and Richard are both missing and that’s a major hit. That said Seinfeld is not as good it doesn’t have the depth of the earlier curb seasons. Don’t forget there are a team of creators.

I've noticed a progression of madness in Mr. David's sitcoms. When Seinfeld started, Jerry was the normal anchor in a group of misfits. Eventually, he misfit himself. Mr. David started CYE as an out-of-place New Yorker in Hollyweird. As time progressed, he joined, and surpassed the weirdness. Hey! It works.

[@MattMan_93]

Even though it's a fantasy, it's so cathartic to see LD win for once in his life. Also, I feel so sorry for Irma at the end. I seriously hope Tracey Ullman returns! She was beyond phenomenal!

But the reality is he just got caught red handed trying to steal evidence of him bribing a councilwoman; which was also futile as the vote didn't pass anyway. Not even close to a win, lmao.

Yeah, LD did have some victories in some previous seasons, and yeah, he's rich, but his victories are so few and far in between, at least in the Curb universe. In any case, it's cathartic to see when he does win. Always strikes me as funny whenever you write a comment. It becomes overly dissected and analyzed like on a CSI show or something. That might be interesting fodder for a future season of Curb come to think of it. Lol

Curb also knew when to stop, but Larry only brought it back because of fan pressure (mentioned numerous times in interviews). Now it just feels tired and way too unrealistic/slapstick-y.
