Curb Your Enthusiasm *Season Finale* - "Seinfeld" - 11/22/09

"Seinfeld"
Spoiler:
In the Season Seven finale, a returned favor costs Larry quality time with Cheryl.


Run time on HBO.com says 41 minutes

How about a surprise ending where the episode goes so well they decide to make another season of Seinfeld?

Yeah, I know it's not going to happen, but it would be a cool way to introduce it.

Looks like Larry is sabotaging the show.

Yeah we can dream! I mentioned in another thread that I was wondering if NBC tried to negotiate something out of this. If not a recut episode, then at least the reunion episode to show during sweeps since their logo is all over the place. I mean they need permission for that right?

Anyway, I am totally happy with what we got. It's more than I ever hoped for!

I finally watched "The Table Read" episode just before it, so both episodes together flowed nicely.

Looks like Larry and Cheryl are back together now. And yet another show with Larry still trying to regain his mental center when it comes to tipping.

The tipping thing was stupid. How Mocha Joe thought he deserved a tip made no sense. Other than that, I dug the episode. Hopefully we see another season.

Yeah, I thought this was the worst side storyline of this season. The Seinfeld bit was hilarious.

Mocha Joe was a regular on Ted Danson's 'Becker'. I thought it was non-essential but fun.

Excellent episode. The more I think about it, the more I realize that the 'core 4' did this because they hated the Seinfeld Finale (which did suck).

Great episode. Was anyone else disappointed at how thin George's wallet was? It should have been about 3 inches thicker.

The Swinfeld stuff was great

I liked Larry and Jerry joking about people using "having said that" in conversation and then a minute later Jerry uses it with Jason

OK episode. Kinda sums up the season, alright I guess, but nothing special. I love CYE, but the situations Larry gets into are getting pretty stupid: Tipping someone because they bring jumper cables even though they're going that way??? That's as bad as getting pulled over by a cop for taking too many napkins at a pizza joint.

End the series LD with that episode, its been a great run

Was not a fan of this ending. There were some great things about it, but it was fairly weak overall. I thought it would have been funny if Larry did replace George but that Jason took Cheryl; that's what I thought they were going to go with.

This can't be the end of Curb, he has to make up for with a better ending.

I loved that when Larry said he deserved an E for Effort and then Mocha Joe said F for Favour, Jerry yells out C for Coffee.

Great ending to a great season. Having the whole cast of Seinfeld back together was fantastic. Larry as George was hilariously awful. The Jerry/Larry staredown was inspired. And I love how all season the main four commented on how they hated the finale and Larry had to keep defending it.

I highly doubt we'll ever see that as a full episode, but it would be cool if it showed up as a DVD Extra or something.

As much as I wasn't a fan of this season, I have to say that Jerry Seinfeld is such an underrated comic. Every scene he is in with Larry was great this season, and seeing him go toe to toe with Larry really makes you understand who came up with what on all of those Seinfeld episodes.

Some good laughs--everything with Seinfeld & Co. was darn good--but I really didn't like the whole ring stain thing, esp. at the very end. I mean really--He's FINALLY getting Cheryl back and he's staring at the stain on the table while she's kissing him? Just not funny to me.

I loved the ending!

- I thought the Mocha Joe thing was over the top, but it was Mocha who thought he deserved a "tip"
- @ the Jerry / Larry stare down
- I liked how we will never know if Cheryl was in the car or not.
- I forgot how much on-camera chemistry the Seinfeld cast has.. even though we knew all the jokes from the table read episode, when they showed the "final" on-camera version I was still laughing.
- I am so glad that Elizabeth Shoe ended up playing the role of George's GF, because Cheryl just didn't fit
- to ending the episode with the table ring

I hope in the next season they find a way to keep Jerry Seinfeld around. He has a great back-and-forth with Larry that is very funny to watch.

I don't think any of this was out of character for the show. It's ridiculous, it always has been, Larry always goes far out. It's the nature of Curb, it's not going to please everyone, and it shouldn't or the show wouldn't really work.

I for one thought the season was fantastic, not every joke worked for me but it's had some real big laughs and the Seinfeld non-reunion was really well done. The whole concept may be the best thing Larry's ever come up with.
