Sal, Wyoming's not a country
jerry was a really bad actor though, like almost every serious line he delivered he ended with a weird half smile

sorry it's better just by virtue of being single cam with no studio audience+canned laughter, but beyond that the jokes and stories are better

you can "get" seinfeld and not think it's funny. i "get" jeff dunham's jokes and he is one of the least funny person on the planet.

not saying all of seinfeld is unfunny and defo not as unfunny as jeff dunham, but it's incredibly overrated

You should probably stop posting.

This show sounds familiar, but I thought the characters were Martin Van Nostrand, Kel Varnsen, and Art VanDelay?

no, it's worse because jason alexander is a better larry david than larry david. also, the improv stuff is very hit and miss and the jokes are more about discomfort for the viewer than actually being funny. no kramer and merv griffin show. no real everyman (jerry) for the audience to experience things through. no one as cute as elaine.

Nah, except you're right about Julia Louis-Dreyfus I guess. She looks better in her curb appearances though, probably because 90s fashion is an abomination.

I think it kinda works for his character though since his show character is supposed to be a comedian. The weird half smiles seemed in character most of the time tbh.

the most jarring thing about the first couple of seasons is how easily things could have been resolved if everyone had cell phones

Curb is nowhere near as consistently funny as Seinfeld but when it's on it is loving hilarious. You just have to find the right episodes.

That would be ANY time Leon shows up in a scene. For example:
