1. Oddly enough, it seems to have been a polarizing sitcom

I know a few folks who weren’t fans of the show or his style of comedy, but it’s always been and always will be one of my favorite shows ever. In addition to Jerry Seinfeld, the writing/producing by Larry David was a big reason the show was so funny IMHO….. I’m always up for watching reruns!

4. It's going to be hard (no pun intended given the topic) to have no more CYE.

I recently re-started Curb and just finished the fourth season where Larry has his Broadway premiere in The Producers. Funny that when the fifth season starts there's nary a mention of Larry on the Great White Way, but I digress.

but haven't watched any episodes since Michael Richards' N-word rant a few years back.

I's too bad. Also Seinfeld himself very recently in a "New Yorker" interview blamed the political left/PC culture for the demise of edgy TV comedy. Like his comedy was ever even close edgy.

Jerry should just stay quiet and live on the millions of dollars of residuals he keeps getting for re-runs.

Julia Louis Dreyfus, a well known progressive and she of the THREE TV sitcoms and even more residuals, disagrees with him.
