Curb or Seinfeld?

[SethMode]

Seinfeld and Curb are Jim Brown and Walter Payton.

AD is Bo Jackson. No idea why people always mention it. Perhaps it was the fact I caught episodes randomly as I thought the individuals in the cast were funny elsewhere but it was more of a Ben Gay ,Lawrence Phillips show.

KOF, you should definitely give it a shot. I think you can get the DVDs for next to nothing, and as I said in my post, it was made for that format. It's a great show, but definitely is different in comparison to David's stuff. It's a bit more zany (excluding Seinfeld seasons 8 and 9) and slapstick, but in a good way.

what is AD?

Arrested Development. Have you ever watched it?

Also, why did you change your name? It is confusing me.

Curb is possibly my favorite show ever.

Yeah, you should watch it. But , as mentioned above, you have to watch them in order ( a great point btw). You have to pay attention to everything though because there is stuff in there that is almost cryptic but you'll get it later.
Its on Netflix, if you have it.

As for Seinfeld, I watched that show (2 episodes) every single day for years after work. I catch it now and then currently but my wife hates the show, so I tend to not watch it much anymore. But it is classic and the cast of characters (and their interaction) will probably never be duplicated.

i have heard of it. i assume since its being mentioned that LD had something to do with it?

i never watched it though. i remember it being on after sunday NFL and about a black family

im interested in seeing sour grapes

im gonna change my name back....it was due to the MM Rewind thing and the new skin Mmmmbeer made

[Maynard]

I don't think LD had anything to do with it.

I know Ron Howard did though, and also narrates it.

This is not an exciting video btw.

They are making a movie out of the show though.

Yeah, no affiliation with LD, I only mentioned it in my initial post because I KNEW that someone would bring it up.

It tanked ratings wise. Fox even gave it more of a shot than it did most of its shows, but because of the nature of it it never caught on. You really just can't pick it up in the middle and get the full enjoyment. It's a shame if only because they had to rush Season 3 (which was still good but was obviously rushed) and because we don't get more. But at the same time, I can see why they did. They really need to start making direct to DVD shows.

.

yeah, you did LOL

I will shut up about it now though, didn't mean to steer off topic.

Besides, I watched a bunch of episodes yesterday, so it was fresh in my mind

Arrested Development deserves our reverence for how brilliant it was.

However, I have no idea why anyone is mentioning it here. This is simply a Curb/Seinfeld discussion.

[BrntO4Life]

Saying the show tanked isn't really fair. Sure it didn't get great ratings, but it's a cult classic, and is considered by most anyone who ha seen it, as one of the great shows of this era. They still show it here in the UK.

I agree that using the "ratings sucked" theory is a misnomer. AD suffered at the hands of political decision-making within the network's corporate structure. The head of FOX at the time hated the program and intentionally moved it around the schedule each week.

The fact that it survived 3 seasons is an indicator of just how good it was. FOX couldn't dare to pull the plug on a show that was winning Emmys left and right and had a massive cult following.

I mentioned it because he mentioned it in the OP.

Fair enough.

We need a thread dedicated just to AD. I am coming across like an AD hater in this thread when I am anything but. Just to me, the three best comedies ever are AD, Seinfeld and Curb. Maybe saying that AD shouldn't be included because it was a failure is unfair. I take it back. I just think it's way too different to compare.

Added to instant que.

Will give it a few episode shot.

Curb for me. I was very young when Seinfeld was in it's prime though so I'm biased.

Arrested Development is great also.
