i find it hard to take these new episodes. yes, they may be funny and people still watch. yet, they are nothing compared to the classcis of the past. the flight of Larry David can truly be seen. the new "writers" seem to take the 'real life situations' and stretch them too far. i mean, come on, a candy bar! i could not find it funny how Kramer and the salesman tried to stretch out the gas mileage. anyone out there support my view?

Aw, get over it already. Not just you personally, but all of you whiners who pine for the 'good old days'. I would say "'it's getting old", but it was old a year ago. Now it's just annoying.

Howbout this.  Someone post an empty note with the title:
I prefer the 'good old days', then let everyone who agrees
post their "Me too!"s and then we can be done with it already.

i agree that it is getting old, but i don't think anyone can tell me(convince me) that these new episodes are anywhere near the older one's. it's just a dissapointment. i still love the show, i just wish it would go on as it had in the past. but, all things must come to an end.

It is a very good idea. Better yet, maybe they will start their own news group.

Larry David only wrote about 80 episodes. The other writers are the ones writing the show now. There are no NEW writers

Seinfeld has the same writers as before. Only Larry David left. The rest of the writers were old writers

I disagree on this point. I could totally relate to draining out the last drop of gas on a vehicle. I was rofl at this since it happens to me all the time when I borrow my father's car. And the spoof of Thelma & Louise was great.

But it became cartoonish. If they had kept it realistic it would have been OK, although the idea was half-baked anyway so it wouldn't have ever been a classic. Instead, I was tempted to go channel surfing. The spoof of Thelma & Louise was terrible. By the time the show ended I had pretty much forgotten about the plot lines, it was just too boring and lame.

I totally agree. I was disappointed when I heard Seinfeld was going to end but on the other hand, it might be for the best. I'd rather remember Seinfeld as being the best show that ever existed than as the show that started off great but went totally downhill after a few years. Last night's episode was dumb.

Better "subpar" Episodes than what we will soon be faced with. Also found it a little hard to belive that Jerry would steal a loaf of rye from an old lady just to help out George. Or when Jerry and Kramer flew to Italy to look at some Real Estate just to spite the Maestro. Weren't they Larry David episodes?

Doesn't anyone realize that Larry David didnt write every single classic Seinfeld episode? The Airport wasn't written by Larry David. The Outing wasn't written by Larry David. The Marine Biologist wasn't written by Larry David. Sure Larry David wrote some of the best Seinfelds, but he isn't the reason behind every classic Seinfeld.

Many of the writers who wrote those episodes are now gone. It wasn't just Larry David that had an effect on the show - there were also some other great writers that obviously aren't any part of the show anymore.

I actually thought the Kramer plot was the funniest. the candybar thing got stupid and YES, the show is washed up. people try to be nice but come on, the show is simply a bad attempt at what it once was. it might have a chance if they would give the George character a break -he's getting very annoying and seems funniest when most toned down. the funniest scenes are those featuring all the characters working off of each other. the show shoudnt be relying on plot so much, because thats not it's strongest point. oh well, it's just tv.

I support your view 110%. I've been saying the same thing for the past two and a half years. The show simply isn't very good anymore.
