Is Seinfeld still the greatest show of all time or did Curb Your Enthusiasm surpass it?

Breh, I truly believe curb is one of the only shows that actually gets better and better with the seasons. Not to many shows maintain that same piffness, but curb gets better especially once you meet the "blacks"

That shytty bow episode was a classic.

 

[Frump]

Curb easily. How many ppl here are even old enough to have watched Seinfield live ?

It ended in 98 you don't have to be a senior citizen to have seen the show live

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

Curb surpassed it awhile ago. I think though that the show has kind of fallen off a bit from the first 5 seasons

My 80+ Year old grandmother still watches Seinfeld.

SeinGOAT is top 5.

Seinfeld had better characters, who came with quotables.

Far more memorable events (George and the arcade cabinet, Kramer swimming in the hudson, Elaine's dancing, etc). CYE is hilarious, far more dark, and far more "real" but Seinfeld was a cartoon, and for that, its hard to beat.

I like curb more but seinfield is a classic as well

Oh it's still doing it's thing. No question. I'd be in denial to deny that. The show definitely still doing something right cause they been around for 40 years but no lie, I can't even remember the last time I watched that shyt. Probably some time back in like 2007 and it was when my cousin got the shyt on dvd but as far as new episodes? shyt, since the last 90's/early 2000s.

It's easier for cartoons to have a more historic run, cause they not real and they stay the same so long as the writers want them too. Cartoons appeal to people of all ages too, especially if there's ground level for the humor such as the Simpsons so both kids and adults can enjoy watching the show. It could be argued which show is bigger on pop culture, maybe the Simpsons is (shyt they been around for 40 years and still churning out shyt so they are constantly still in peoples faces, both old fans and new while Seinfield has been off the air now for 18 years, that's damn near 2 decades. Now, Seinfield had some iconic characters too

The Simpsons definitely paved the wave for more adult animated shows, I can't take that away from them. But let's not act like Seinfield ain't do the same shyt now

As for the racist shyt, yeah Michael Richards exposed himself as a racist. Ain't nothing else I can say bout that. Although technically speaking it won't Kramer THE CHARACTER since you said "none of the main CHARACTERS". It was MICHAEL RICHARDS the ACTOR who exposed his own true feelings the night he decided to spew out racist and racial racial epithets and comments at 1 of us. So yeah, fukk him
But to be fair, now that I think back on the Simpsons, they way they did that Latino man/Bumblebee man character was on some

Dude, The Simpsons hasn't been around for 40 years.

Dude, The Simpsons hasn't been around for 40 years.

Don't know why I said 40 years.

I must've been high.

 

[DaDoc04]

Curb FTW!!!

can't wait for season 9

 

[Robo Squirrel]

Season 9 ain't ever coming out

 

[Spyro]

dude said 2 and a Half men....

First 8 seasons do have a lot of funny one liners in it though, watch a best of on YT and it's great gag after great gag, hell even 9-12 have some funny lines in them.

And seasons 1-5 of Scrubs is GOAT

 

[Spyro]

On a side note, does anyone here consider Big Bang Theory an elite show?

They promote the hell out of that show and act like it's must see but the show is extra corny.

It's not as bad as people make it out to be, not the most consistent show but always laugh a few times an episode
