Do you prefer Seinfeld or Curb?

I've gotten my flat mate into Curb. He thinks it's hilarious. We have clicked very well but I was nervous at introducing him to one of my favourite shows. It's an aquired taste but, he really gets it now he's asking me about Seinfeld. I never really got into it. He likes my taste but I'm wondering, was Seinfeld ever as good as Curb?

Nope. Curb trumps Seinfeld. Although Seinfeld is really pretty funny (albeit ridiculously dated!)

I adore Larry David. He's one big bowl of wrong.

He's amazing. My flat mate is from India. Never lived in the uk before. Thinks citizen khan is hysterical so, I really thought we were at opposite ends of the comedy spectrum. Maybe I should just introduce him to Father Ted? We are up to season 3 of Curb. He peed himself at The Doll Larry David is in his 60's! I'd have him.

You are asking me to pick between my children!!

Seinfeld is my first love but I've seen them so much. I adore curb but more than 1 episode I have to hide behind a cushion!!

The wheelchair curb ep is amazing!

Deffo Curb. No contest. Seinfeld is a barrel of guff but LD is a riot.

Curb

Love Seinfield, brilliant

I much prefer curb. I've watched all of them. I tried watching Seinfeld because of that but just couldn't get into it. It does seem very dated now. It's still funny but I don't care about the characters whereas I love them all in curb and have lil crush on LD .

Curb, hands down the funnier show. But , doesn't mean I didn't love Seinfeld when it was in its prime.
LD manages to take awkward to a whole new level. I have so many favourite episodes, for some reason the sneakers episode is standing out :) I have a lil crush on Ted Danson

I do meant to watch Seinfeld, but I just wanted to declare my love for Curb. 'Tis fucking hilarious.

Seinfeld.
I enjoy Curb in small doses and admire it but I don't particularly enjoy celebs playing heightened versions of themselves. Meanwhile I can rewatch favourite episodes of Seinfeld over and over again.

Both have had me in hysterics, but it happens far more often with Curb. Love the doll episode!

Omg let's not forget The Bare Midriff. Do you think he will make anymore?

I missed Ted Danson when he wasn't in it anymore.
