Oleg Bach Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Seinfeld is less cutting by design to appeal to a larger audience. It is purposely about nothing grave or of much import, and is not weighed down by Curb's brand of arcing misery. The comedic timing is much better executed by the Seinfeld cast ensemble. Lastly, Seinfeld (and David) knew when to quit (on top). That's about it - It is about entertaining the public - and not about showing that when you take off a Muslim womans berka that the purpose of the garment is to hide an ugly face - how does this serve the public? Ambition does not always grant success...I had a friend that was pitching a reality show - he thought that if it was weird...and supposedly "cutting edge" - that people would want it...The public simply found him NOT lovable..he was ambtious but not sincere - people are not stupid.

Yukon Jack Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Larry David reached his thespian apex voicing George Steinbrenner and peeking through a window and addressing George Costanza as 'your majesty'. In Seinfeld. All downhill from there. CYE is a lame and pathetic effort, not worth anyone's time. Quote

I agree....Seinfeld could make us laugh about something as simple as buying a gallon of milk....David wants us to laugh because he pees in it. No thanks. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
M.Dancer Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) I have watched the show maybe 6 times. At best, it has been amusing, but more often than not i find it somewhat of a cringing embarrassment. Just not my cup of tea. The comedies on my watch list are Modern Family, 30 Rock, Parks and rec on the otherhand... i prfer this http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/clips/p00h3q9f/mj_delaney_justin_bieber_barbershop/ Edited August 4, 2011 by M.Dancer Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us

BOB likes it even if it's lame - simply because it is Jewish...is this the base of all Zionism - that as long as it is Jewish it is excellent..even when it is of poor quality - small wonder they can not settle the problems with Palistine - When a Jewish leader gets an idea they run with it - even if it is a bad idea?
