I watched season 4 part 1 and an episode or two of part 2 but grew bored and never finished the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 4 seasons, in particular, are fabulous. I never really got into Curb Your Enthusiasm. But I was on a long flight today and watched a handful of episodes. I was actually laughing so hard at one point in time that I cried. it was this scene where Larry keeps seeing his chiropractor’s nasty frayed underwear, and he tries to give him advice about wearing better underwear so he isn’t scaring his patients away. Absolutely hilarious stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious season from beginning to end. My top 3 single episodes: "Crazy Eyez Killah" -- awesome "Porno Gil" (starring Bob Odenkirk) -- hilarious "The Group" -- comment withheld, but definitely unexpectedly hilarious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Like most sit-coms, Seinfeld peaked at season three and started the steep descent into obscurity. See also MASH, Modern Family, Happy Days, Cheers, etc. I think the only one that stayed great was Barney Miller. The cast changed a bit, but it always kept its edge.

There were scores and scores of classic Seinfeld episodes that continued to impact pop culture well into the final season. Not only that, but the fact that Seinfeld is still so heavily syndicated on TV today, 33 years after its debut, speaks to just how popular it still is and how well it holds up. Some classic episodes that happened AFTER season 3 -- and there are many more, but I'll just list a few: The Bubble Boy The Contest (voted the best Seinfeld episode of all time) The Implant The Junior Mint The Puffy Shirt The Marine Biologist The Soup Nazi The Rye The Yada Yada The Serenity Now The Strike (Festivus episode) The show probably peaked somewhere between seasons 3 and 5. Once Larry David left after season 7, the show changed quite a bit, with Jerry Seinfeld taking more of an active role in creative. It became less mean/cynical and more absurdist/cartoonish. Still, despite the changes and passing its peak, it remained funny and highly culturally impactful right up until the end, as evidenced by the MASSIVE hype and interest around its finale. I, for one, saw the series finale in a packed movie theatre. I can never remember a show in my lifetime that still gets quoted as much almost a quarter century after it last aired as Seinfeld. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season long plot with Mocha Joe, Larry opening a spite store, Larry and Richard being put in "the ugly section" of the restaurant. I generally/mostly prefer the earlier seasons, but season 10 was a real high point for me. Just really funny from start to finish. At its highest moments, I like Curb as much as I liked Seinfeld. Overall, both are in my top five all time comedy shows, and barely a day goes by where I don't quote or reference one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Seinfeld stayed great throughout its entire tenure. I'll say the same for Cheers, which has always been my favorite sitcom of all time. One show that COULD have stayed great forever was the Charlie Sheen-era Two and a Half Men. I thought it was the best sitcom since Seinfeld. Once Sheen left, directly into the crapper it went.

Best series finale ever: Newhart. Very funny, yes. Although the best series finale ever was M*A*S*H. On 6/26/2022 at 6:51 AM, Gugny said: That's a great topic. The most jaw-dropping series finale I can remember was St. Elsewhere. It was different, but I thought it was lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I don't watch that much tv these days. Mixing tunes, playing on *****, doing tech, jesus... the path to retirement is all encompassing. But this seems totally worth it. Will do. Also, this. My favorite part of my fellow citizens is when they don't take themselves too seriously. This And this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 The most memorable Curb for me was when Larry picks up the prostitute to use the Carpool lane. I admit not watched a full season in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that in the same episode, as a side effect, someone who was accused or convicted of a crime (took place so long ago that I don't recall, and too lazy to look it up), had an alibi. The alibi is that they appeared in the stands of Dodger Stadium, during the filming of that episode of Curb, it was caught on camera, and all was forgiven.
