How is it? I heard it finally ended and I was thinking of trying it out.

Is it like Seinfeld? Is it better or worse?

Its kinda similar to Seinfeld, but also not really.

Curb is amazing. Idk if Id say its much like Seinfeld. Curb is practically all improv, not in front of a live audience, etc.

And of course a lot more risqu.

Better than Seinfeld but not really in the same way. You don't really get those easy laughs from the show until Leon joins the cast.

Its great but its a lot looser. The scenes are mostly improvised. The middle seasons are some of the best like the Seinfeld reunion season. Oddly that was supposed to be the series finale when it aired but Larry kept going with more seasons.

I'm watching it again and one of the weird things I've noticed about the early ones is nearly every non-white character has an accent, even though I've seen the actors in other stuff where they don't.

But yeah, it's still overall better than Seinfeld. Seinfeld's highs are VERY good, but there's a lot that's just forgettable. Curb is more consistently sharp.

Seinfeld is one of my all time favorites. Tried watching Curb several years ago, and got bored with it after like 8 episodes.

I actually just started it again. Im 3 episodes in, and I havent even grinned once. It seems like the premise is Hey isnt this situation awkward? instead of being an actual comedy.

Is it a show that has a weak first season, but gets good after that?

Curb is great, though I wasn't as fond of the later seasons as much. Watching clips is dangerous since I'll end up jumping from clip to clip in the recommended section. So many great moments.

Yeah, it's similar, but different. There will be lots of references and callbacks to the show, as you'll see. I love both and it's hard to say one is better than the other. They sort of go hand in hand with each other.

That sort of thing goes on to the end. I noticed it when watching the final season. It's a bit off putting, especially when Larry starts imitating them and doing the broken English thing.

Still love the show, but it's....yeah.

The whole clip is great, but Larry scoffing and going "He's not my best friend" is the cherry on top. Every scene with Funkhauser is great.

it's Seinfield but a lot more edgier and perverse. Larry is not a good person and he's not afraid to let people know.

That's really the first classic episode of the series. When they pull into the driveway and the western music kicks in with Susie standing there waiting in rage

the show is funny, but it came out during a time when "cringe humor" was trending (Orange Is The New Black, Louie, Maron, Hello Ladies, Wilfred etc" and I couldn't bare to continue :C
