Larry David appreciation thread

[burrunjor]

How many users are fans of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm?

I suspect a lot of people will have an appreciation for their style of humour LOL. Seinfeld is obviously one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, with George Costanza being a tour de force in every way. Curb however is really underrated. Been having a rewatch recently and it holds up brilliantly. Larry David is both a bald asshole and a misunderstood hero LOL.

Seinfeld is, I agree, one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, and with an almost-unique tone and pace to it. A bit like Python in that it's been much imitated but never quite equalled, including by LD himself - Curb I find a bit shrill and shouty even tho the situations and set-ups are funny, whilst things like 'Philadelphia' go a bit too much toward everyone being sociopathic - in Seinfeld they were just unknowingly self-centred, like much of society. But like much of Jewish humour & drama (Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Sidney Lumet, Billy Wilder) there's a sharpness and a perception that is often lacking elsewhere.

Love Seinfeld. I could never fully get behind Curb, though what I saw was okay.
