Little Nemo McFly Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I've seen an episode years ago - not my cup of tea. Yet, I love Seinfeld. Something about seeing Larry David act, just seems so unnatural to me. I like him - he's brilliant, but when I see him act...it's just...bad. Something jarring about seeing him in front of a camera, acting. I have every Seinfeld season on DVD. I have that shit playing in the background just for ambience sometimes while I work! I'll marathon seasons - just have it playing all day! Seen every featurette, documentary, interview - every episode w/ trivia track...a thousand times. I love that show. There's something about the tongue-in-cheek nature about the show, that I like. I don't want to go so far as to call it classy, but it skates the edge so brilliantly. In 'The Contest' episode - where they all try to refrain from masterbating...I don't need a cut-away to Jerry furiously beating off when he finally cracks. Curb is the kinda show that goes there. A couple of months ago, I saw the season where the Seinfeld cast reunited. Still...m'eh. The show has elements of Seinfeld, like - you can tell the DNA is in there, but it's laced w/ f-bombs and shock-moments that're supposed to be funny? It seems like it's trying to be offensive. It feels like a spiritual-sequel to Seinfeld, but without rules or boundaries and it's creator was frustrated or bitter about something. It wasn't horrible, I could watch more - but... Seinfeld > Curb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I hate Seinfeld That said I caught an episode of this awhile back and didn't hate it. I may give it a fair shake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nemo McFly Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I've only seen the Seinfeld reunion season of Curb - if I watch more, I'll hafta watch it from the beginning. God, but then I see Larry David in this... I'm so used to the 'I'm not an actor, I have no interest in it / fuck celebrity and the limelight' Larry David of the Seinfeld years. There something so...'off' when I see him act. I just cringe! Again, he's brilliant. It's so strange seeing him embrace the limelight and act. Something...'off' about that. Rubs me wrong for some strange reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I think its absolutely amazing television. A lot of it is painfully awkward and for that I love it so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I can't believe we never had a thread for this show back in the day. I love this show! I've got HBO GO and they recently put together a top 12 list of "must watch" episodes of Curb and I've been re-watching those. Classic stuff. Sometimes the improv can get a bit obvious apparent, but overall it's one of my favorite comedies. Larry David needs to get back to Curb and put out a season 8 already. Oh, and I just remembered, one of the more memorable seasons of Curb actually came true in a way. Larry David co-wrote a play and starred on Broadway for a few months this year. Then Jason Alexander took over the role. So meta. When it was announced that Jason Alexander would take over the lead in “Fish in the Dark” from Larry David, David told the cast, “You finally have the chance to work with a real actor!” “Fish in the Dark,” which David also wrote, has turned out to be one of the most lucrative nonmusical plays in Broadway history. It started previews in February with an advance sale of nearly $15 million. Theatergoers paid $300 or more for tickets. And when it closes Aug. 1, it is likely to have grossed an astonishing $28 million. Edited October 21, 2015 by Mr. Hakujin Pretty, pretty, pretty...pretty good.

Dag Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Curb is my favorite comedy show of all time. The first two seasons aren't great though. It doesn't become awesome until about season 3. The first episode that really did it for me was when Larry is pretending to be a WASP Republican so that he can become a member of an exclusive white country club. The part in the episode where he picks up that prostitute so that he can drive in the carpool lane is golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorelei Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 found my christmas card this year HAHAHAHAHA yeah man, I love 'curb', but you can't watch too much of this cringe humour in one sitting, gets stale quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yeah I found the same thing when watching Eastbound and Down or Review, those shows aren't good for binge watching. They're exhausting and better watched in installments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) I love how JB has kind of made himself the new face of Curb, or at least its return. Looking forward to a new season! There's gotta be an episode of him as Bernie reacting to the election results, right? Gotta be.
