The Seinfeld Reunion On Curb Your Enthusiasm
So, last night's season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm featured the much-anticipated Seinfeld reunion. Basically. And for all of the meta bells and self-aware whistles of the season's teasing out of the Seinfeld reunion as a clever conceit within Curb Your Enthusiasm, in the end it was basically a straight-forward Seinfeld reunion! So that was nice, I guess. You guys probably loved it. They look older! But they can still speak English!
And this part was funny:
But I think that the real problem with this entire season (and there was a real problem with this entire season) was the non-Seinfeld stuff, of which there was plenty. Don't even get me started (don't even!) on the episode where Larry ended up dangling off of a roof holding onto a girl's chubby waist, or that mildly despicable women's-underwear-as-cover-up-for-routine-infidelity plotline. More like Curb You're A Couple Of Assholes! And I know that this show is always full of yelling, but was there more yelling than usual this season? Everyone was always yelling. Instantaneously. About things that made no sense.
Like last night's plotline about the coffee guy and the favors? With these elaborate rules about what is and is not a favor or is owed for a favor? Even Jerry Seinfeld has an opinion about this, and will yell in Larry's face about coffee man favors. Why did the coffee man have a cart at Julia Louis-Dreyfus's house anyway?! "You guys want to come over for a coffee party to celebrate Jason Alexander's acting book? We can all stand around and yell at each other about rich people problems." I like this show, and I think Larry David is TBS, but this season was a little bit much. I mean, I know I only spent a few days in LA last month, but is that really what it is like over there? No wonder medical marijuana is such a big industry. CHILLLLLL.
Right guys? Guys?

As a Seinfeld fan, this was a bittersweet gift. But at least Larry David got me a Christmas present.
AKA a bittersweet gif.
Score = 6
Somehow this joke works better without the image.
Score = 5
I dunno, I got the feeling it was giving us what we expected, and nothing really that unpredictable. The gags were averagely funny. I dunno. Nothing special I guess, which is a shame, because this used to be a special show. Now is a good time for it to bow out, in my opinion, rather than cling onto mediocrity, so we can remember it at its best.
Thanks for the good times, CYE.
Score = 1
In other words, they should have done what Seinfeld did successfully (bowing out before you blow).
Uh, TWSS?
Score = 4
Finally, my life can pick up the pieces where it left off May 14, 1998.
Score = 21
And NBC continues their tradition of excellence by letting the reunion episode (of perhaps the greatest sitcom in history) air... on HBO.
Way to go, guys! Just keep phoning it in! Might as well give Jay Leno another five hours a week of air time and chant, "We're Number Four! We're Number Four!"
Score = 3
It was an episode of Curb. Not Seinfeld. There was a lot more Larry plot than Seinfeld plot. And I don't really understand why this was THE reunion episode. Theyve been in a handful of the episodes this season. I guess there was more of them in this one, but not a lot more.
Score = 0
RIght. But Seinfeld's still an NBC property. They had to sign off on this to allow it to happen. I think it was a missed opportunity for the network.
Score = 3
the only part that bordered on teh funny was the "that being said"/dissing of george's "pamphlet" scene. the rest alternated between meh (larry's big scene as george) and annoying (Mocha Joe, wood stains). and, yes gabe, that is really what l.a.'s like. throughout the entire show, my wife kept chanting, "i hate l.a., i hate l.a."
Score = 1
I don't watch the show, but I miss Julia Louis-Dreyfuss' curly hair.

What's up, Big Perm!

you obviously don't respect wood

i swear, i did not hit submit twice. that being said, i'm a dumbass
Score = 6
I will admit that, even though it was stupid, the scene where Larry is dangling off a roof while grabbing the girls belly made me laugh so much. (I don't know why, it just did. Sometimes you can't think too much about what makes you laugh. You gotta roll with it.)
The last two episodes were very funny and all the actors looked like they never stopped playing these Seinfeld characters. Now it's all bittersweet. I'm still waiting for another comedy show to reach that level of greatness. :(

I missed this because I was still tending to the rash on my pussy.
Score = 11
Can you guys please explain this? I missed the explanation in the eps
Score = 1
It's a reference from the Table Read episode. The one before the reunion episode.
Score = 1
A production assistant blatantly mentioned that she had to take her 9yo(?) daughter to the doctor because she had a rash on her pussy. Larry was horrified by the word. Then they were talking in front of Jerry because she had given Larry's phone number to her daughter and she was texting him. Then he asked "how's her pussy?". She said it was fine, they walked away and Jerry was like O-o-O. And then, Larry went to see a doctor because he had a rash on his arm and asked him if he could had gotten it from the kid because she had a rash on her pussy. Then he said she was texting him. "She's so cute". The doctor walked away and told the receptionist to call the police.
TBS
Score = 3
See, I had seen the entire eps, and saw ALL of those interchanges, yet I figured there had to be a start to the joke somewhere I missed, like maybe a previous episode (I have seen the last three, so I was xtra confused)... Oh Larry David, we hardly knew ye.
Score = -1
Wow, they're really never going to get tired of the "Sometimes Larry David looks like a pedophile!" angle, are they?
Score = 0
MINUS ME YOU BASTARDS?!

Score = 1
I actually thought last nights episode was TBS. And this season as a whole was just killing it. I DO NOT WATCH WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE BECAUSE I AM AN ADULT!!!!
Score = 9
It was a disappointing finale to an otherwise stellar season. I would have liked to have seen more Curb coverage on Videogum too but you fags were too busy talking about Glee and Gossip Girl.
PS - Your cunt is in the sink.
Score = 16
I agree. Why do we focus so much on hate watching Gossip Girl when there hasn't been so much as one write up on The League.
Score = 8
Also, as one the people who WENT INSANE and posted approx 3 dissertation-length comments, it's nice to see that "Who Cares About the Seinfeld Reunion?" post referenced. Blastfromthepastgum. Now If you'll excuse me, I have to go defend my Thesis About Nothing.
Score = 4
"That table has been in the Louis-Dreyfuss family for generations."
Score = 1
Coulda done without Mocha Joe. More Leon woulda been much more pleasing.
"Going upstairs and eat this F'n Chinese food....in my F'n room!"
Score = 4
I thought it was a great ending to a great season. The episodes Black Swan, Table Read and last nights were hilarious. I think Larry David should just write every script for every television show for now on. I do agree it could have done with more Leon though...
"...and everything I ate, tasted like peaches!"
"Danny Duberstein is good at two things and two things only. Math, and fuckin'."
Score = 3
