YEAH BUT LEON DROPPIN' F-BOMBS, ZOMG!!!1!The MAGA stuff in the first episode was great, but the whole season has really been all yelling and a kind of mean caricature of itself. Not that funny.

"I'm not giving you my weight. Or my height. That's a MFing description, Larry."The weight guesser was awesome! Very solid episode. Leon was superb!
He has probably been one of the highlights for me — just the way they interact even.YEAH BUT LEON DROPPIN' F-BOMBS, ZOMG!!!1!
I'm a huge Seinfeld fan and thought the same thing when I first started watching. Give it time. Curb really starts to find its groove in Season 3. I think its a better show than Seinfeld now.I am finally starting to watch the show. I had never seen it before and am starting with the first season. Never seen any episodes before a few weeks ago. I am a huge fan of the show Seinfeld and was expecting something great. So far there have been some good things, some almost exact copies of Seinfeld storylines, but all in all I haven't been that impressed. I also don't like that it seems like much of the time people are talking over each other. This may be part of the improv nature of the show but it seems to get in the way sometimes. I am most of the way through season 1 but have tapered off because it hasn't pulled me in yet.
Just didn’t want to do it and didn’t have the stories in mind.My wife never saw it so we are watching it now. Why did he take a 6-year break and come back? Was that ever discussed?
Yeah, not surprised you disagree although this season is giving me pause. I really like the freedom he has on HBO to discuss more adult themed content not to mention a more modern setting. Seems like half of the Seinfeld plots are solved by cell phones. It also doesn't hurt that George is my favorite character. I feel like we get more of him following Larry.

I wasn't all in until Beloved Aunt. I think it's the 8th or 9th episode in Season 1.I'm a huge Seinfeld fan and thought the same thing when I first started watching. Give it time. Curb really starts to find its groove in Season 3. I think its a better show than Seinfeld now.

It's the 8th episode. That episode is where I am at. It was the last one I watched for the moment. It was a solid episode but I still haven't been drawn in completely. Still a lot of talking over each other. I will keep going but it has been a slight disappointment overall.I wasn't all in until Beloved Aunt. I think it's the 8th or 9th episode in Season 1.
... Leon was nothing short of awesome those first coupla seasons, no question ... shot a very needed JOLT! to the series - LD made a great call introducing the whole Black family storyline - the whole episode where LD gets the date with the doctor (Sue Ellen Mischke from Seinfeld fame), has the "5 second rule" with Auntie Rae, the misappropriated dropping of the "N" word, Jeff getting his head shaved, etc. is definitely a top 5 in the series annals, and Leon's contributions were nothing short of hysterical.I'm way behind here, like still on season 6 or so.
Leon is the best addition of a character this late in any TV series ever.
I still remember when they brought in his character. Maybe not an episode by episode breakdown, but Larry's reaction when he found out he was from L.A. was priceless.I'm way behind here, like still on season 6 or so.

I think that was the first time I really thought they hit on Seinfeld greatness with multiple, connected storylines. When I watch it now, I realize that Porno Gill was probably the first really good one.General Malaise said:
so good. That and him trying to wrap a gift.
Yeah, he got in that a** early and often but definitely needs some development. Hopeful this Mocha Joe subplot pays off with the spite store. With Leon in charge, it could be gold....

but it's tired now ... he wore out fast, it's a one trick pony of "MOTHER ####ER THIS, MOTHER ####ER THAT, MOTHER ####ER HIM, MOTHER ####ER THEM, MOTHER ####ER IT, MOTHER ####ER ####ER" ... ehhh, it's enough already.

Funny line, though the 1st thing I thought of was Princess Leia on a speeder.It's like a pilates class
What do they do with their pantsNo defecating in the building! How long before he fails CO inspection for no handicap access?
Another solid LOL episode for me.
Rebecca romijin still looks amazing
This is the second time recently this has come up in the thread. Maybe because it doesn't bother me, but I've seen all the seasons (most of them twice) and I've never noticed this as a "thing" about Curb. The arguing, yelling, bickering, sure. But not that.talking over each other that it just annoys her
The demise of Latte Larry's is almost too telegraphed. New handicapped friend, bathrooms completely handicapped inaccessible. Still really enjoy the season and Vince Vaughn has been a great stand in for the Funk man.No defecating in the building! How long before he fails CO inspection for no handicap access?
Another solid LOL episode for me.
I loved how Jane Krakowski got to sit in the good looking section until he arrived, and then they had to move over, and how enraged Larry got when he saw that Susie got to stay on the other side with Ted Danson.I thought this episode was one of the best ones, the good looking and bad looking sections was classic.
Heard the Carl character was inspired by WFAN’s Joe Beningo.Any jets fan would love that episode. So good lol
