The last two seasons are actually some of my favorites. With all due respect to the great Larry David, I think by season 8 the crew of writers and actors had become such a well-oiled machine that they managed to pull it off without him. Some of Larry's trademark dialogue was missing and the characters felt more cartoonish but the ideas and plot lines were as funny and creative as ever. You could tell they were still having lots of fun with the show. "The Bizarro Jerry" and "The Betrayal" are two of the finest episodes imo.

Larry makes every day things comedic. When Seinfeld was running, I would look at all my daily ordeals as if I were in a Seinfeld episode.

You can tell a difference in the show with Larry's departure. For me, it proves how valuable he really was. Those last couple of seasons weren't very creative and despite still being #1 in ratings, each episode just became more outrageous than the next. It was much better when there was more dialogue, and that lacked the last couple of seasons. I also loved when 'Seinfeld' had an "arc" for each season.

Many new characthers on each single episodes and even if they were interesting they lasted for really short time. Last season felt a little bit different tho, the phasing was a little bit better.

Larry has eclipsed Jerry in the 2000's. I always sensed that he was a little resentful not to be a part of the onscreen "golden four" in Seinfeld so he created his own classic with Curb where he gets to be the center of attention.

@kevinw712

2 жыл бұрын

I don't think it necessarily has to be resentment, which has a much more negative connotation to it, than it could be simply Larry's sensibilities changing as he got older. As he and Jerry have explained, it was literally never even a consideration when creating the show that Larry would have any sort of on camera role, even though George was largely based on himself. Larry had no interest whatsoever in performing, and thru the era of the show he obviously was wealthy and knew he had plenty of respect in the comedy world (as much as a person like him is able to acknowledge that anyone else respects him, anyway lol). He got his time away from the rat race of it all, got the opportunity to still pursue his comedy voice in a more "unleashed" way, and by then it felt far more natural to just do it himself. The whole point of Curb is the loose performance aspect of it all more so than the writing of it, so it wouldn't make sense to yet again hire an actor to play "the Larry part".

Stars in the public eye get a lot more adoration and acclaim than behind the scenes guys. I'm sure it played on Larry's ego when he saw the "fab four" become icons while no one hardly knew him in the 90's. He probably thought, "Why not me? I'm as good as them" and he proved it in the 2000's with Curb.

Larry gets a lot of the credit for the quality of the writing, and rightly so. But I think the last two seasons proved Jerry was no slug in the storytelling department.

Recently it occurred to me that I have a special fondness for creative partnerships that are also enduring friendships. When Terry Jones died (January 2020) I was, as a Monty Python and Terry Jones fan, saddened. And when I saw Terry J's writing partner and great friend Michael Palin become understandably upset as he paid tribute to Terry, that sadness deepened. But there was also something beautiful about it. Well over half a century went by and Mikey and Terry J still loved each other and enjoyed each other's company. I have the same fond feeling when I see Larry and Jerry together. They're still friends and it will likely stay that way. It's very sweet, and not as common a situation as we'd like.

His comic genius put it all together...the writers, the commitment to work late hours editing, rewriting....I don't think there is a show out there that has such dedicated writers/editors today. Guys, that want the jokes to flow from scene to scene, year to year like this show did for the all those fantastic years. Amazing man that put out a idea so clear that others could embrace it without him coming back to re-directing their work.

I love how Larry David's last written episode of Seinfeld, other than the finale, was the on where he killed off Susan.

Larry David shutting down the show, pulling out, making his own moves without acknowledging the repercussions of how everyone else feels, on the cusp and height of success; is SUCH a Larry David move.

"Big Stein can't be floppin' and twitchin'!" That's one of my absolute favorite lines from the entire series.

For the butthurt Larry David purists... sure the show was different when Larry left, but was still funnier than most sitcoms on at the time... and don't forget... Larry came back to write the finale and that episode was destroyed by fans and critics alike. So nobody's perfect... just be happy the overall legacy of the show, one of the best Comedies of the past 25 years

I know that feeling Larry was describing as he had to read lines which he didn't write. I left a band that I had played in for 6 years. Then one time they asked me to play a couple of shows with them as the drummer was away for a family matter. It was music from a new album. It was drum parts which I didn't write. I did feel a strong sense of not belonging. It's an ugly feeling. Has anyone else experienced that feeling?

larry david is a hilarious neurotic, i noticed the difference when he left, (i wasn't aware he left until now) but the show seemed to lose some of it's edginess, personally i started to lose interest towards the end. jerry is a great writer and has this amazing confidence, but he lacks the debilitating insecurities that larry had (has), and nothing is funnier than someone who is hanging on for the ride rather than controlling it.

Thank God he left Sienfeld. So that his hunger for more kept on growing. Now, we have 11 awesome seasons of Curb. Thanks Larry. You are the best.

thought would never see anything better then (first seven seasons) of Seinfeld... until "Curb..;" Never watched tv before these.

I was a fan of Jerry before the Seinfeld chronicles first aired, so I was excited hearing he had his own show. I remember being a little underwhelmed after watching it and thinking the George character was a little too Woody Allenish. This is a testament to Jason Alexander and Larry both as Jason learned quickly that the George character was indeed Larry. You can watch how quickly George morphs into Larry through his mannerisms and voice. The show uses from real life Jerry’s old girlfriend Elaine (based on comedian Elaine Boozer) and Kramer (Larry’s old friend Kenny Kramer.) It was genius adding all of the other supporting roles (Neuman, Peterman, Mr. Pitt, etc.) to really round out the ongoing story. I’d love to know who came up with what. However I also did note the change in George without Larry’s guidance, it was still good, just different. Jerry probably realized after 3 seasons without Larry’s input regarding George, the possibility of the show becoming stagnant? Who knows? All I know is that I don’t believe there will ever be another comedy as funny as Seinfeld. Talk about lightning in a bottle, it was just genius.

Many of the *worst* episodes were definitely written after Larrys departure. And as Jason said; George changed. Or the whole tone, it turned more aggressive somehow.

They started to become too topical and include modern references, in a show that takes a year to write & animate, the jokes dated incredibly fast. The quality certainly went down after the 7th or 8th season, but it became really apparent that the best writers and best ideas were behind them, I think around 2000/01. Groening should have called it quits after Futurama got established and let South Park and Family Guy do the "edgy" and "topical" humour, because they didn't start out trying to be a classic family sitcom, only animated.

Jerry did a great job overall and like I said there were still some very funny episodes and the actors were still doing great work but it just wasn't the same and George's character wasn't the same without Larry who George is based on to have that expert handle on the character

I always wondered why he left Seinfeld, it’s interesting to see it explained here. You really do need to hear accounts from multiple people to understand, because it was one of those decisions based on complicated feelings. It seems like he felt trapped, but also loved the show/writers, but also maybe felt like it was time to move on to other things and make a name for himself. I’m sure petty annoyances and grievances had built up over time as well.

Just shows how great his instincts to move on when he did was. It led to Curb which is the greatest show of all time.

Love the last two seasons, but they are definitely hacky and more traditional sitcom than the earlier work.

season 7 was his last.

For me that show was only Seinfeld in name. But Larry David was the true creative genius behind it. IMHO, of course.

Yet when Larry received his Laurel Award, he acknowledged that without Jerry Seinfeld picking him as the co-creator of Seinfeld, he'd be sitting near some steam vent on 44th Street. I think, by and large, that the success of Seinfeld comes down to Jerry's ability to pick the right people. And MAN was Larry the right one!

Right on.

I don't want to upset anyone but when I watched the show the first time round, I thought the last season or two were really quite "miss" (as opposed to "hit"). I think _Curb_ proved Larry's magic beyond a shadow of a doubt.

We all love you Larry

The Larry David episodes were the "GOLDEN AGE" of Seinfeld. The episodes after LD often seems far, far too silly, absurd, and cartoonish. I had no idea the writers have changed when I was watching as a young man, but I immediately FELT and NOTICED the difference in the show.

7:34 Nothing more beautiful than Larry David impersonates himself.

also, curb your enthusiasm is coming back in 2017. damn, im so hyped about that....

2020 too!

Larry came back with Curb...ultimate piece of work!

Larry David was 90% of what made that show funny. Jerry had a HUGE six year head start when he took over, so I don't know why he thinks he was so successful at keeping the series afloat. If he was the sole creative force in 1989, that series would have taken a much bigger shit than it did when LD left.

I love how LD in real life is the same as LD on CYE

Larry David made that show. A true leader is always invisible. Larry is An example of what leadership is.

Legend.

This is clearly Larry from Curb your Enthusiasm

Letting go is always hard.

I agree. To some degree, while it was smarter when Larry was there, the show opened up a bit more when he left and went places I don't think earlier seasonds would've

I think he sold George the gum when he(George) was dressed up as the king for Krammer

5:52 he should have just went back to work like nothing happened.

i like seasons 8 and 9.

Season 7, I think, is probably the best season of Seinfeld, especially if you binge watch the whole season. It’s really clever. So maybe Larry David knew when to leave.

I used to think the quality of Seinfeld dropped when Larry left. Upon rewatch on Netflix, it actually started to decline in Larry’s last 2 seasons. Still some great moments, but it started to get too goofy and cartoonish. That being said, I love Larry and the show.

If you have the seen the show as much as I have, you can really tell the difference in the post-Larry episodes. I personally think he should have ridden the wave all the way, but oh well. There are funny and even classic episodes from the post-Larry era, too.

At least he left on his own accord and got to come back for the final episode. It's not Aaron Sorkin getting fired from The West Wing.

i would imagine that the characters had been established,they had their own characters and back stories..not that it made it any easier as the bar was set pretty high...jerry and the other writers did a fantastic job...the show was always first class.x

Larry David: hated remaining on the show, hated it when he quit the show, hated working on anything that wasn't that show, hated it when he came back to work periodically. The result was eventually Curb Your Enthusiasm, one of the best comedy shows of all time.

It's just a matter of opinion of how we viewed the seasons after his departure. I loved all the seasons...Each episode still had great one liners after he left, in my opinion.

Seasons 1, 8 and 9, were noticeably worse than the rest though.

THE COMEDY!

There are definitely early, middle, and late Seinfeld periods with distinctive flavors. There are great episodes and not-so-great ones in all three. I like the middle years best, because the characters were well established, the actors had found their grooves, and it was a hit by now, so they could push the envelope, but it was still "grounded." However, it seems that seasons 8 and 9 have risen in reputation since they were initially aired. People quote them all the time. I think a lot of young budding comedy writers were influenced even by those late Seinfelds. You can see their madcap style in some later series. Larry's CYE has changed over nine seasons too. I can't imagine that episode with the Revolutionary War reenactment taking place in seasons 1-3. The part about Larry resenting being expected to thank the guy for his service, sure, but not the crazy set piece it turns into.

Can't wait for the new curb season
