Okay this might have been asked before, but why did Larry David leave the show?

Larry David has stated many times that the reason he left was because he did not like the direction in which the show was going. He felt it was drifting from the structure he had instilled. And he was right. Since his departure, the show has bearly been able to keep itself alive.

The reason i've heard Larry David give was that he was burned out and needed a break from TV. He is a workaholic and exerted too much energy into the show. Jon B.

Oops! Sorry. <G> I guess in a way Justin has influenced us all. Look at me, I'm stuck on a question from the past.

The last season of Seinfeld when Larry David was still in it is screening on TV here now. All I can say is that it totally sux!! That stupid Cadillac episode, that Da Vici sleep one... absolutely pathetic. I don't know why the show took such a nosedive, but I definately can't blame Larry David for distancing himself from such a worthless pile of crap. The old episodes are much better.
