EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 LAAAAARRY!!!! Where ARE YOU LARRY, YOU C**KS**K*R??? I'M GONNA KILL YOU, LARRY!!! Ha. Miss the fallout from Larry's actions... so excited to see Curb coming back!!!
row_33 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 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. His only relative Louis Lewis wouldn't help him, he said his name should be Manson Manson instead. Good times with Bob?
Deranged Rhino Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 His only relative Louis Lewis wouldn't help him, he said his name should be Manson Manson instead. Good times with Bob? One of the best jobs I had in my early days out here by far. Just a good person, easy to work for, always keeps you laughing. Hard not to enjoy that.
row_33 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Cool DR, my only work with the famous is to help them recover $$$$ when they were defrauded or divorce settlements. How old are they gonna look after 6 more years? Larry did funny sections on Kimmel last night, Lewis last Friday.
row_33 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 So........... Couldn't have guessed that guiding arc for the season. I think I read that a few episodes will be longer than normal. Suzie gets younger, Ted ages. So Ted and Larry will end up exchanging erstwhile spouses? An accounting firm in my past foisted brilliant minds with ambition that were impossible personalities.
Fadingpain Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I absolutely love when Larry's agent's wife, Susie Greene (played by Susie Essman) gets pissed off at Larry and verbally attacks him for whatever reason. "Larry! You f-ing !@#$!" I adore this show. I have found that a lot of people don't get it, however.

Upping the ante is the only way he made it "different" for years. Edited October 2, 2017 by 4merper4mer
njbuff Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 I guess this season might be based on Larry going after Ted's wife, Mary.
row_33 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Sad there are people who never got Seinfeld and dont get Curb. I work with a few of them....
shrader Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Sad there are people who never got Seinfeld and dont get Curb. I work with a few of them.... Just think, the work force is going to be flooded very soon with people who weren't even alive when Seinfeld was on. I guess they can watch it thanks to its heavy syndication over the years, but there are so many options on tv now that many are bound to have never watched a single show. I was fairly young for most of Cheers' run, but I watched it so heavily because it was aired so heavily on fox and the canadian channels. They've got way too many options today.
row_33 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I weekly come across people who talk about Seinfeld forgetting it went off the air over 20 years ago. Larry had a fun friendship with Ted's wife, but Larry always saw a vibe between Cheryl and Ted through the seasons, but maybe he is just plain crazy. I like Leon's way of answering the phone for Larry's business, it fits him just fine. Cheers sure didn't age in syndication, did it.... it was hard to convince kids how hot Shelley Long was at the time....
shrader Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Cheers sure didn't age in syndication, did it.... it was hard to convince kids how hot Shelley Long was at the time.... Ha, it's the hair that kills it, isn't it?
Fadingpain Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Ha, it's the hair that kills it, isn't it? I loved Cheers when it was popular and curent, but it has aged pretty badly. Many classics that were critically praised in their day are kind of crap judging by modern standards. TV has gotten a LOT more sophisticated in the last 10 years... A good example of what I'm talking about: "Hill Street Blues" was considered the best thing on TV at one point in time. Watch an episode now; it is antiquated garbage done on a pretty primitive level compared to the best, current cable TV shows.

Watch an episode now; it is antiquated garbage done on a pretty primitive level compared to the best, current cable TV shows. I get what you're saying, the themes of Cheers and other classic shows still resonates. Seinfeld never ages for me....I love that it's basically the last thing from the pre-tech era. But I agree that HBO, A&E and others took TV to a completely different level. The Sopranos was the biggest turning point in TV since CNN debuted. And yes, I loved Shelly Long. Plus she taught me how to spot nut case women.
shrader Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 And yes, I loved Shelly Long. Plus she taught me how to spot nut case women. And now she has a recurring role as a nutcase on Modern Family. Speaking of that show, they need to find a way to pull a Curb and get an all out Married with Children reunion. They had Bud at one point, now get the rest.
row_33 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Shelley was the star, way above the others for her stint. Then Kelsey was the star, again way above the others. The show hasn't aged well because drinking irresponsibly isn't all that funny any more.

I think it's because the cable shows (HBO, Showtime, etc.) Are able to push the boundaries further and be edgier then that on regular networks so now when you look back at what was the top then, it looks tame and childish because they weren't able to do what they can now. Now they can have cases of rape and gruesome murders instead of old ladies getting purses snatched and a hold up at the bank where all the hostages are safe and sound

You mean people don't have NBC on for 3 hours on Thursday like when I was undergrad in the mid80s?
Doc Brown Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 You mean people don't have NBC on for 3 hours on Thursday like when I was undergrad in the mid80s? On the bright side you didn't have to do with reality TV with stupid dancing and singing competitions that a certain someone insists on watching.
