🙁 Disliked it

Viewers debate whether seasons 8 and 9 became too farcical and slapstick compared to earlier seasons, attributing the decline to Larry David's departure and loss of focus on personal relationships.

I never really liked the last two Seasons. Too farcial for my liking. Anyone else agree ?

That seems to be the consensus. Without Larry David the scripts and plots seemed to go too silly.

The stars make the show for me as much as do the scripts, so I'm hopeful of being be able to have and see them ASAP.

It's good to see that Sony didn't short change Seinfeld fans with the extras. The long waiting times for Seinfeld DVDs has been worth it. Compare this with Fox who have screwed M*A*S*H fans over by only including extra features in the special "collectors edition" due out later this year.

Yes, they tried to keep the tone, themes, and plots of the shows consistent with Larry David's structures but they did noticeably lack his touch. The themes became too slapstick instead of focusing on personal relationships and human angst.

Yeah perhaps you're right, but no ep makes me laugh more than "The Merv Griffin Show Set"
