Yeah that's what I've liked to see, Joel and Ellie's interactions with Bill. Looks like there's been a few different directors with some of them having writing credit as well. I wouldn't be surprised it was Druckman's choice to change episode 3.
Yes. it's great. We debate the two shows in my family. My kids feel Curb translates better to the younger generation but they will all admit that George may be the single funniest character in any half hour scripted sitcom. He's certainly on the shortlist. Once Larry gets rolling it's wonderful. Curb always has a few slow episodes or moments since it's more loosely run than Seinfeld but it's best moments are fantastic. I'm just not sure if it ever quite wants to be my latex salesman. Nor am I sure if there will ever be the summer of Larry. Then again, Larry respects Wood, which at this point in the season makes him a very small minority on that issue.
I’m going to trust you on this one and keep plugging away. I think I’m on episode 5 and so far I could go either way. I’ve recently done the same thing with Sunny but I’ve been told that show takes off in season 2 as well. George is a treasure… I’ve never thought about it but he definitely is up there on the list. Who else do you and your family have in the top 5?
I'll have to ask my kids. I'm old and have not watched that much in the way of scripted comedy in recent years. My guess is one of their favorites will be Bojack Horseman or someone from that show. I do love Rick and Morty and enjoy Solar Opposites although it's hard to pick out one character. I will add that I've never been a fan of Steve Carrell. His style doesn't appeal to me, but comedy is subjective. My wife watches recent scripted comedy but her shows have tended to be ok but not great in my eyes. Things like Big Bang Theory or Mom but she has also watched Schitts Creek which my mother who is in her 80s also liked so I'm not sure what to think about that.
We agree on Rick and Morty/ Solar Opposites. Hoping the recasting of those shows doesn’t hurt the quality of the upcoming episodes. Big Bang was good for me but no one character would be considered top tier for my liking. Mom, just isn’t for me… I used to like Ana Farris but her in that show I just didn’t get… same with Schitts Creek… tried a few and couldn’t get into it.
. If you need further poking, then just go to YouTube and put in Best of Ron Swanson.
Yeah the games are awesome!
I really enjoyed it. The premise is weird, the characters are well acted and weird, and I was always interested in the stories mystery.
One of my most anticipated returns for season 2 this year. Ended up loving it after giving it a shot.
Cannot recommended it enough. Incredible show. Equally incredibly satisfying cliffhanger to end the season.
Thanks guys, watched the first 2 episodes last night.
I don’t think it’s fair to compare Cutb and Seinfeld. Curb is not restricted in format the way Seinfeld was and Seinfeld is a creature of its time. To me they have some overlap and some differences. I’d say that Curb has an advantage because it focuses solely on Larry. If Seinfeld focused solely on George it might be a different discussion. My kids all prefer Curb and yet each will admit that George Costanza is probably the single funniest character in thr history of television. Jason Alexander was brilliant. Seinfeld’s biggest problem was Seinfeld. He’s not a good actor and as a straight man to Kramer and George he was ok but not great. He had moments but they were just that. Magic Loogie reenactment and latex salesman were his two best moments to me. Of course as moments go it’s hard to top those two for me. Elaine was another straight man added to diversify the cast. I never found her all that funny but at least the writers stumbled upon Puddy because of her. Not that it’s definitive but years later you stil have Seinfeld fans coming up with new show plots and ideas on social media and Reddit. I’m not sure Curb is quite there yet.
