Curb your enthusiasm Season 9

As a huge Larry David and Seinfeld fan, I was anxiously anticipating Season 9. However I find this Season borderline unwatchable. The jokes feel regurgitated and not nearly as funny as they once were.  Larry’s character has always been odd and outrageous. However I feel like they are taking him to a new level of extreme with his oddities this season. It feels like they are trying to hard to go out with one Big last who-rah. 

Seinfeld never wanted to extend his show, he ended it early at the shows height of popularity. Yeah he got a lot of criticism for the final episode, but that was one episode. I completely understand why he didn’t want to do a reunion show/season. Season 9 of curb feels like a 10 episode reunion with stale comedy and overplayed scenarios. 

I’m on episode 4, I’m sticking with it, hoping it will wrap up nicely.

Agree!

I think he took too long off, the jokes feel dated and that style of comedy while revolutionary in its time during Seinfeld & the early seasons of Curb, just feel dated now.

I only watched 3 episodes so far with barley a chuckle and it’s only  at Leon the JB Smoove character.

wOw completely agree !!! ive been waiting for someone to articulate this, and honestly have been lying to my friends (who do like it) about how much i enjoy it to save face. feels like a different show, not the Curb I am used to watching. Pace and jokes are off-pace, stories seem to run against each other rather than converging a la Seinfeld/old Curb. 

honestly laugh more at vice principals than curb now

      We were very banged up going into that Rams game. Our second best player (Horn), our best safety, and both starting ILBs were out. I feel like our defense has really been impressive considering a year ago. If our offense learns how to be balanced like they were against the Rams, we can honestly beat anyone. Those losses to the Saints and 49ers may have been what we needed to figure out that when we depend too much on either running exclusively or passing exclusively that we are no good. That Rams game showed what we can do when we are in sync offensively and it was so much fun to watch. If that offense shows up this week then go ahead and cancel your plans the second weekend in January as you will have a game to watch.

      and we won a game in the playoffs.....where our leading receiver was Fozzy Whitaker w/ just 39 rec yards.  That feels like a 2025 Panthers type winning setup.

      Yep, the board has amnesia to the weekly swings and declarations made.  The same cast of characters has been talked about vastly different repetitively and you only have to go back as far as the game before the last one....and just keep repeating that pattern largely backwards.  I personally feel confident that this team is not bad and it is not good.  And while that is nice to get back to be out of the literal dumpster......I don't view this team as an average team w/ a puncher's chance.  All average teams are of different molds.  We are more the, if a really good team plays bad, you will lose to us variety.  We aren't bad enough where you can get away with a bad day vs us anymore.
