I wonder when I'll be able to get my hands on these episodes. I'm currently going through the series on Amazon and loving every second. I'm up to the Seinfeld reunion right now.

 

And I just had a creepy moment while watching that trailer. For some reason, I thought Richard Lewis died at some point in the last year or two. Now it's driving me crazy who I'm mixing him up with. The only one who makes any sense to me would be Gary Shandling.

Richard Lewis was on death's door. They did a lot on it in Curb one season (which is why you might be thinking that). I forget what he had, something liver related I believe.

 

Also, the Seinfeld season of Curb is one of TV's best seasons. The fact they found a way to give us a new Finale to Seinfeld within a separate show was genius. I'd argue it's cannon too in the Seinfeld universe (if there is such a thing) since Larry and Jerry wrote it together.

 

To date my biggest disappointment in my career was missing out on a chance to be a fly on the wall during the filming of the table read episode (won't spoil it if you haven't gotten there yet). At the time I was working for Bob Einstein (aka Marty Funkhouser/Super Dave) and he invited me to set that day but I couldn't make it. Had he told me what it was for (it was all top secret at the time) I would have dropped everything to have been there.

.Yes! He was expecting Larry to just give him his liver or something. The look on his face when he asked him for his liver was priceless. Lol

I watched that season very recently and it felt extra strange because I thought he had died in real life. Google's not helping me out too much on what his real life situation was. I know there were alcohol issues, so I'm sure it all goes from there (it was a kidney transplant on the show).

 

 

As for the Seinfeld stuff, I'm going to try to skip past those comments as much as possible. I want to go into it without any expectations.

Do! Yes. Avoid spoilers. :beer:

I was wondering if they were just going to pick up right where season 8 ended with Larry in Paris because he used it as an excuse to avoid a charity fundraiser. Excited that all the staff is coming back. Big fan of Super Dave.

 

They might, I wouldn't mind that at all. I personally think they're going to pick up in the present - but we might see back to what happened over the last five years (or however long it's been).

 

Per the bolded: He's one of the funniest people you could ever meet. I'll put this in spoilers for Shrader's sake:

 

 

 

 

In the table read episode of the Seinfeld season (I forget the title/number), there's a bit where Marty Funkhouser tells Seinfeld a joke much to Larry's horror. Only Larry and Bob (Marty) had heard the joke before hand. It's one of Bob's favorites and it's different every time he tells it. Not even the director had heard it because Larry wanted to get Jerry's real reaction to the absurd grossness of it. It's pretty hilarious watching him process the joke.

 

Here it is:

 

 

You notice they cut when Jerry loses it - that was because the whole crew lost it, starting with George and Elaine off screen. It ruined the whole end of the take. :lol:

 

One more clip - not of the show but of why Super rocks:

Very, very cool. :thumbsup:

 

I was going to dump HBO until GoT came back, but I can't miss CYE, maybe the funniest show ever to me. Tremendous cast and Larry is a true comedy genius, even loved him all the way back on Fridays but he's light years beyond that now. One of the things I love most that no one ever mentions is the cartoony music that plays throughout, my fav is when Larry's about to do something really f%^&ed up. :D
