Without a doubt. Larry > Jerry. frick the haters.


George and Larry are the same character.

Curb is basically Seinfeld told from George's point of view instead of Jerry's. In Seinfeld George is always telling stories about he treated people or situations he found himself in, but you rarely saw those situations actually unfold. You see them as they relate or intersect with the other characters.

You could compare Jeff and Jerry perhaps.

No shite. Thanks for the lesson chief.

I prefer Larry to Jerry as an actor, main character and comedic presence.

It's cool and hip to say that, but no.

I won't say if it is better or not, but I'm just now watching Curb for the first time. I'm currently on season 5.

And I LOVE it, especially the end of season 4 and beginning of season 5.

I've never laughed so hard as the hotel scene, which is the finale of season 4. David is pure genius and I'm jealous.

Curb is Seinfeld humor, both great shows.

Agreed. I'm just kinda sad that it's 2016 and I still haven't watched all the seasons yet. Thank you HBO GO.

How Jason Alexander failed to win an Emmy is the greatest question of our lifetime.

Unreal!

I love them both. The Curb episodes with the Seinfeld episodes mixed in were great. Makes me think that if he wanted to do another season of Seinfeld it would be legendary.

I don't agree, but I don't think you're wrong either. I've got a little bit of nostalgia for Seinfeld I don't have for Curb.

yeah Curb is basically Larry doing many of the things he would have liked to have done on seinfeld if not for network restrictions

I've only seen a couple episodes of Curb, and Seinfeld here and there, and I agree. Of course, that's not hard to do because Seinfeld isn't really very good in the first place.

And go ahead and hit me with DVs...I ain't scared.

Larry David's contact with HBO says they will allow him to shoot a new season of Curb whenever he feels like it.

That's a pretty amazing contract and a testament to the man's genius.
